What's Included
- Ruger No.1-B Standard Sporter single-shot rifle chambered in .22-250 Rem
This No.1-B features Ruger's 1976 Bicentennial rollmark, a distinctive factory marking applied during the U.S. Bicentennial year. It adds clear historical context to this example's production and ties it to a notable moment in the model's timeline.
The rifle is built around a 26-inch sporter-contour blued barrel with a recessed crown. It wears the factory quarter rib machined for Ruger rings and ships without iron sights, reflecting the No.1-B Standard Sporter configuration.
Its single-shot, Farquharson-style falling-block action operates via an underlever and is paired with a tang safety. This classic action is central to the No.1's reputation for strong lockup and streamlined handling.
The checkered walnut stock set includes a semi-beavertail forend and pistol-grip buttstock with a Ruger eagle grip-cap medallion. Additional factory touches include sling swivel studs and a Ruger-logo recoil pad. The length of pull is 13.5 inches, and the blued receiver and barrel present a cohesive, traditional finish.
