Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Conceived by company co-founder Bill Ruger and introduced in 1967, the Ruger No. 1 single-shot rifle revitalized the classic Farquharson-style falling-block mechanism for modern centerfire shooting. Designed with sleek classical lines, exceptional strength, and an under-lever action that creates an exceptionally compact overall length compared to bolt-action rifles with equivalent barrel lengths, the No. 1 established itself as America's premier single-shot hunting rifle. Manufactured in Southport, Connecticut, the No. 1B "Standard Rifle" sub-variant was engineered specifically for scope-only optics mounting, featuring a 24-inch medium sporter barrel, an integral receiver quarter rib with patented Ruger target scope rings, a semi-beavertail forend, and fine cut-checkered American walnut furniture. Highly regarded by varmint hunters and centerfire purists for its inherent accuracy, mechanical rigidity, and flawless balance, the Ruger No. 1 stands as a timeless masterpiece of modern American firearms design.
This specific example is an exceptionally clean, high-grade Ruger No. 1B Standard single-shot rifle manufactured in 1993 under serial number 132-98910. Chambered in the flat-shooting .223 Remington cartridge, this 1B variant features its original 24-inch medium sporter barrel, factory receiver quarter rib, Ruger steel scope rings, and a mounted variable-power target scope. The rich American walnut stock assembly displays vivid grain figure, sharp hand-cut checkering across the grip and forend, and its factory red rubber recoil pad. The factory high-luster blued finish retains magnificent coverage across the receiver block, lever, and barrel w/ razor-sharp "RUGER No. 1" roll-marks and "132-98910" serial stampings. Mechanically, the falling-block action operates with smooth, tight precision, the lever lockup is rock-solid, and the 24-inch barrel bore remains mirror-bright w/ crisp, sharp rifling throughout. This superb 1993 Ruger No. 1B represents a prime investment-grade acquisition for Ruger collectors, varmint marksmanship enthusiasts, and classic American rifle aficionados.
