The No. 1B is Ruger’s long-range variant of the famed No. 1, featuring a 26-inch barrel that maximizes velocity from the .30-06 cartridge while maintaining a well-balanced 42.25-inch overall length.
Its falling-block action is machined from blued steel and fitted with Ruger’s adjustable ejector, allowing the shooter to choose between gentle extraction or full ejection.
The checkered walnut stock wears the desirable early red Ruger recoil pad and a pistol-grip profile that aids control. An Alexander-Henry fore-end adds a traditional look and comfortable hand position.
The receiver’s integral quarter-rib accepts the factory Ruger rings included here, and the Bushnell Sportview 3-9x optic provides a practical magnification range for hunting or target work.
With a single-shot design, classic styling, and 1970s production provenance, this rifle offers both shooting utility and collectible interest.
