Ruger No. 1V Varminter .223 Rem Single-Shot Rifle, 24" Heavy Barrel, 2010 Production
This Ruger No. 1V Varminter combines the classic single-shot No. 1 falling-block action with a 24-inch heavy-contour barrel, purpose-built for precision varmint shooting. Made in 2010 and produced in comparatively small batches, it features blued steel construction, a walnut beavertail forend, and factory-installed quarter-rib scope mounts. The rifle’s single-shot simplicity, crisp hammerless action, and tang safety appeal to shooters who value deliberate accuracy and refined workmanship.

The heavy 24-inch barrel delivers consistent harmonics and steadies heat build-up during extended range sessions. Paired with a 1:12 right-hand twist, it stabilizes standard-weight .223 Rem bullets commonly used for varmint and target work.
Ruger’s strong falling-block action locks solidly and allows a compact overall length relative to barrel length. The action is hammerless for a clean sight picture and reduced lock time, and the extractor/ejector is user-adjustable for tailored case control.
The American walnut stock sports a beavertail fore-end that rides bags well, a pistol grip with lightning-bolt checkering for positive contact, and a soft recoil pad. Sling-swivel studs come factory-installed for easy field carry.
An integral quarter rib machined into the barrel provides a solid base for the included 1-inch Ruger rings, eliminating the need for separate bases and maintaining barrel rigidity. With no open sights, the rifle is ready to accept the optic of your choice.
Catalog weight is 8.75 lb and length of pull measures 13.5", giving the rifle a balanced feel that settles naturally on target while remaining manageable for field positions.
