Wow Gary....you are getting expensive to hang out with too! You can always keep some of those new toys over at Rat Force One's new Man Room. Cool new toys.

So, a No.1 in 22-250? Is it the Varmint or 1B model? Plan on trigger work forearm bedding/floating, as they all need some TLC in order to shoot to their potential. Remember I got mine from a neighbor who said "it won't shoot". Now it punches 1/4" groups with handloads, and wacks Skippy way out by where he lives...... Beautiful rifles with lots of character. I love mine.

Hi Rick, it's a Varmint heavy barrel. The trigger right now is at 4 pounds but it looks to me that there are a couple of adjusting screws on it, I assume that it can be tweaked. Still deciding if I "need" her or not. If I get her I'll sure bring her out. $699 is a lot of dough but they go for a lot more than that in the new Ruger catalog. Decisions..decisions Gary

Captqc,
I had one of those and the two adjusting screws turned out to be dummys, i ended up putting a Moyers trigger in and also a lighter hammer which is supposed to shorten the lock time. Rick knows the score about all the tricks to get the best out of a R1, unfortunately for me i didn't know Rick at the time so i sold mine on. It was a tad heavy for a walkabout rifle. Regards,KB.
