Produced for just one year, this Lipsey’s exclusive run brought the 7mm-08 Rem chambering to the No. 1A Light Sporter platform. The limited availability enhances its desirability among enthusiasts looking for uncommon factory configurations.
The hammerless falling-block action is derived from the classic Farquharson design and features an adjustable ejector for reliable, positive case removal. A two-position tang safety sits naturally under the thumb for intuitive operation.
The 22-inch light-contour barrel carries a barrel-band brass-bead ramp front sight and a folding express-style rear sight mounted on Ruger’s integral quarter rib, which also includes factory scope-ring bases for optic installation.
Metalwork is finished in a smooth satin blue, while the stock and Alexander Henry–style fore-end are crafted from American walnut with crisp machine checkering. The stock wears a Ruger recoil pad, checkered grip cap, and offers a 13.5-inch length of pull.
With its limited production, excellent condition, and classic single-shot design, this Ruger No. 1A Light Sporter stands out as a collectible yet capable rifle.
