Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger No. 3 is a classic single-shot rifle introduced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. in 1973 as a simpler, more affordable alternative to the Ruger No. 1. It utilizes a Farquharson-style falling block action, operated by a lever, but unlike the No. 1, the No. 3 lacks a separate locking mechanism, giving it a more streamlined and utilitarian design. The rifle features an uncheckered American walnut stock and forend, a curved steel buttplate, and a simple blue finish, reflecting its minimalist, rugged aesthetic. Weighing around 6 pounds and equipped with a 22-inch barrel, the No. 3 was built for portability and quick handling, making it ideal for brush hunting or as a compact camp rifle. It was offered in several calibers over its production life, including .22 Hornet, .223 Remington, .30-40 Krag, .375 Winchester, .44 Magnum, and the powerful .45-70 Government, each appealing to different types of shooters from varmint hunters to big game enthusiasts. Though discontinued in 1986 due to limited commercial success, the Ruger No.3 has earned a loyal following among collectors and traditionalist shooters who appreciate its accuracy, craftsmanship, and historical charm.
