My Ruger # 1, 358 Win.
BTW, can you tell that I'm a BIG FAN of the .358 Win. also ? ?
Here is a slideshow :
http://smg.photobucket.com/user/haysb/slideshow/Ruger Number 1 358 Win
The rifle now has a 20" barrel ( Ideal length IMO for slipping around through the hvy. timber here in AL and not have the end of the barrel always hitting tree limbs ) . The barrel was rebored & the barrel was cut and re-crowned by JES in OR. ( The rifle started out life as a .243 Win. )
The barrel is a 3 groove , twist 1 - 13, .005 tall rifling. chambered in 358 Win. The bore is .3580 ", mirror smooth.
The sling does not attach to the fore end. Instead, it attaches to a solid steel barrel band on the barrel.
The rifle has a Burris, Signature 1.5 X 6 Variable with a plex reticle in low mounts.
The rifle has a Moyer's Adjustable trigger in it, set at 1.5 lbs. , clean , crisp, with no over travel. The stock and fore end are highly figured. The butt stock has a " Shadow Line " Cheek Piece . I did all the stock work on the rifle.
I've yet to find a cast bullet load for this rifle that it does not shoot well !
