RUGER No. 1ﾠ .45-70 Gov't Shooters have been asking for an upgraded Ruger Number 1 rifle chambered in 45-70 for a long time. To tame the heavy loads this platform is capable of, we made sure this rifle featured a longer barrel and a little more weight. Lipsey's has teamed up with Ruger to bring you a very limited run of this highly requested model.ﾠ The Ruger Number 1 chambered in 45-70 has been a steady selling rifle for Ruger since it was first introduced. The "S" contour 22" barrel of the standard model provides for a great handling, lightweight, hard-hitting big game rifle that can be loadedﾠto a level approaching the 458 Win Mag. Many shooters lamented the shorter barrel from the beginning though, wanting a longerﾠversion similar to the classic "Buffalo Rifles" of the Old West. Theﾠlonger barrel would also increase the weight and help cutﾠdown the recoil of the heavy handloads many use inﾠthis extremely strong action. Recoil fromﾠ400gr. bullets going 2000+ fps. can get a littleﾠbrisk out of a 7.25 lbs. rifle. As a bonus to this limited run, Ruger stocked these rifles with great looking Grade 1ﾠCircassion Walnut. If you've been wanting a Number 1 in 45-70, but never liked the looks or feel of the short 22" barrel, this is your chance to get the rifle you always wanted.
