Our Assessment: The Ruger No. 1 is Ruger’s modern, precision-oriented falling-block single-shot—engineered for rigid lockup, a clean sighting plane, and inherent accuracy—and this 2018 example in 6.5 Creedmoor follows that exacting tradition. With a 24? barrel, quarter-rib set up for Ruger-style rings, and well-figured checkered walnut, the rifle combines classic single-shot simplicity with modern chambering and optics. Ruger’s one-piece action and neat fit-and-finish make the No. 1 a natural choice for shooters who value deliberate, repeatable accuracy and a straightforward platform for careful, long-range work.
Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor — a contemporary, highly efficient cartridge favored for long-range accuracy and manageable recoil — this No. 1 is fitted with a Redfield 6–24×50 and presents as a ready precision rig. The metal and stock present strongly, retaining roughly 98% of their original finish; the bore is bright with sharp rifling and rates 10/10. The stocks fit tightly with only light handling wear, and the action, tang safety and trigger functioned correctly during inspection.
