Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger No. 1 is a single-shot rifle with a Farquharson-style hammerless falling-block action, introduced and manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. since 1967. An underlever lowers the breechblock to allow ammunition loading and also cocks the rifle. Lenard Brownell, commenting on his work at Ruger, said of the No. 1: “There was never any question about the strength of the action. I remember, in testing it, how much trouble I had trying to tear it up. In fact, I never did manage to blow one apart.” Most Ruger rifles are in standard calibers meant for small and medium game, defense purposes, and target practice. There is one variant, however, that is set aside for something altogether different entirely. Designed for hot climes, dangerous animals, and challenges the ordinary hunter couldn't imagine, this is the Ruger No. 1-H Tropical. The Tropical version is able to handle impressive safari grade calibers such as the 404 Jeffrey, .405 Win (Teddy Roosevelt's favorite 'big medicine round' for lions), .416 Rem (just made 1983-93), 416 Rigby (a round that dates back to the 1900s and was a favorite for elephant and rhino), .45-70 Govt, 458 Win, .458 Lott, and .475 Turnbull. While the .458 Win. Mag. cartridge may not be an everyday hunting round, is the most popular "elephant rifle" cartridge in the world.
