This is possibly one of the best single-shot rifle designs ever produced. It is also well known as being one of the strongest. This is due to the rifle’s falling block action which was designed to have exceptional strength. Another advantage is that, due to the lack of a repeating action, the No. 1 is usually around four inches shorter than a bolt action with the same barrel length. This is useful for those having to travel through woods or brush. Alternatively, the No. 1 can have a four inch longer barrel with a correspondingly higher muzzle velocity at the small cost of a similar overall length.

Over the years, the No.1 has been chambered for a large range of cartridges encompassing the full power spectrum. It has been chambered in low power varmint rounds like the .204 Ruger and .218 Bee all the way up to big game stompers like the .458 Win Mag and .458 Lott. This one is chambered for the 6mm Remington, a round originally introduced back in 1955 as the .244 Remington. When introduced, Remington barrels used a 1:12 twist to stabilize 75 to 90 grain bullets. While this was the correct twist for those weights, most shooters wanted to have the option to use 100 to 105 grain bullets as well to cover the range of game from varmints to deer with one rifle. To correct their error, Remington changed the rifle twist to 1:9 and renamed the cartridge the 6mm Remington in 1963. The only physical difference between the .244 and the 6mm is the headstamp. The 6mm Remington offers a slightly greater case capacity for a little more velocity than the .243 Winchester. The 6mm also offers a longer neck which is desirable among handloaders.

This Ruger No. 1-V rifle looks like it left the factory yesterday. The bore is notably in pristine condition and the trigger is smooth. The No. 1-V is equipped with a 24” heavy barrel with a muzzle diameter of 0.75 inches (19mm). The rifle comes equipped with Ruger scope rings and an inexpensive Tasco 6-24x44mm scope. The scope exhibits the most wear with a worn surface coating. This has been accounted for in the price of the rifle. In stark contrast, the rifle is in great shape and has been well taken care of. The bluing is near factory condition. The wood furniture is in excellent shape except for one ding near lower left side of the stock. It is very shallow and could be steamed relatively easily. The bore is bright and shiny. With a new scope, this No. 1-V would make an excellent hunting rifle.
