Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger No. 1 is a renowned single-shot rifle featuring a robust Farquharson-style falling-block action designed for strength and reliability. Since its introduction in 1967, the Ruger No. 1 has earned a reputation for precision and durability with its hammerless action and underlever mechanism, which both lowers the breechblock for loading and cocks the rifle. This design allows for quick follow-up shots and easy operation, while the rifle’s strength was thoroughly tested by Ruger engineer Lenard Brownell, who noted the rifle's resistance to failure during rigorous testing. The No. 1-A Light Sporter model, chambered in 7x57mm, is built with a 22-inch barrel and comes equipped with a blade front sight with a brass bead on a ramped base, as well as a folding leaf rear sight mounted on a quarter rib, providing both precision and versatility for various shooting scenarios. Additionally, a mounted Weaver V4.5 scope adds further accuracy for long-range engagements.
