Ruger No. 1V Varminter .22-250 Rem Single-Shot Falling-Block Rifle, 24 in Heavy Barrel, 1985, Polished Blued/Walnut
This Ruger No. 1V Varminter is a single-shot .22-250 Rem rifle manufactured in 1985. It features the classic underlever-operated, hammerless falling-block action, a 24-inch heavy barrel without iron sights, and a polished blued finish paired with gloss walnut furniture and a wide beavertail fore-end. A Picatinny scope rail is installed, and the rifle retains Ruger’s tang-mounted sliding safety and red logo recoil pad.
The No. 1V Varminter configuration emphasizes stability and consistency with its heavy-profile 24-inch barrel. The barrel is drilled and tapped for scope blocks and carries no factory iron sights, providing a clean top line for mounted optics. The polished blued finish complements the rifle’s streamlined, single-shot design.
The walnut stock is finished in gloss and cut checkered at the pistol grip for a secure hold. The wide beavertail fore-end enhances support on bags or rests. Sling swivel studs are installed, and the red Ruger-logo recoil pad with black spacer completes the classic look. Length of pull measures 13.75 inches.
This example shows Ruger’s Southport, Conn. U.S.A. barrel address and a Ruger proof mark, with production dating to 1985 per Ruger’s serial range. It is chambered in .22-250 Rem with a 1-round capacity and uses the tang-mounted sliding safety. The bore condition is excellent with sharp rifling.
