*** CLASSIC RUGER SINGLE-SHOT RIFLE ***
Ruger No. 1 - .30-06 Springfield Falling Block Scoped Fantastic Condition
Offered is a Ruger No. 1 single-shot rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield, built on Ruger's legendary falling-block action, widely regarded for its strength, accuracy, and elegant design. This example is in fantastic overall condition and is equipped with a Bushnell scope, making it immediately ready for field or range use.
The consignor states the rifle has never been fired, and the bore condition strongly supports this claim, appearing new, bright, and completely unblemished with sharp rifling throughout. The metal finish is excellent, the wood stock is clean and well preserved, and the rifle shows no signs of wear beyond careful storage. The action operates smoothly and locks up tightly, exactly as expected from a high-quality Ruger No. 1.
Based on the serial number 132-49063, this rifle was manufactured circa 1978-1979, during a period well regarded for Ruger's fit, finish, and overall quality. The .30-06 Springfield chambering remains one of the most versatile sporting cartridges ever produced, making this rifle equally appealing to collectors and hunters.
