Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger No. 1-A Sporter in .243 Winchester is a refined and elegant single-shot rifle that combines classic styling with Ruger’s legendary craftsmanship. Finished with a blued 22-inch barrel, this model balances portability with the accuracy and velocity needed for varmint and medium game hunting. The rifle features a bead blade front sight paired with a folding rear, giving it a traditional look and backup aiming option, while its receiver is drilled and tapped for optics should the shooter prefer a scoped setup. The stock and forearm are crafted from checkered walnut, providing both durability and a touch of Old-World elegance. With its slim profile and graceful lines, the No. 1-A Sporter embodies a timeless aesthetic that appeals to both shooters and collectors alike. At its heart, the No. 1 uses Ruger’s robust Farquharson-style falling-block action, a hammerless design operated by a smooth underlever. Lowering the lever drops the breechblock to expose the chamber for loading, while closing it not only locks the action securely in place but also cocks the hammer. This action is renowned for its incredible strength, so much so that Ruger engineers and early testers noted their inability to damage or “blow apart” the design even under heavy testing. The three-position tang safety, reminiscent of a fine shotgun, offers intuitive operation and secure handling in the field. As a single-shot rifle, the No. 1-A emphasizes deliberate, precise shooting, rewarding marksmanship and discipline over rapid fire. Chambered in the versatile .243 Winchester, it provides an ideal balance of accuracy, light recoil, and terminal performance, making it suitable for everything from predators and varmints to whitetail deer. A blend of tradition, strength, and precision, the Ruger No. 1-A Sporter stands as both a capable hunting companion and a finely crafted firearm with enduring appeal.
