The Sturm, Ruger & Co. No. 1 is a single-shot rifle with a unique falling block action, designed by Bill Ruger himself and first introduced in 1966. The submodel 11399, chambered in 7x57 caliber, combines the lightweight and fast-handling qualities of the No. 1 with the effectiveness of the 7x57 cartridge, which has been in use since the late 19th century.
Manufactured in 2004, this particular rifle features a blued finish, adding an element of classic beauty and durability to the firearm. With its single-round capacity, the Ruger No. 1 has become popular among hunters for its simplicity, reliability, and accuracy.
In excellent condition, showing only faint signs of any prior handling or use, this Ruger No. 1 comes complete with a Browning leather/horse hair sling and 1" scope rings. The walnut stock and grips ensure a comfortable and secure hold, while the flip-up rear sight and white dot front sight provide quick and easy target acquisition. The cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that delivers exceptional accuracy and longevity.
Additional features of the Ruger No. 1 include a sliding tang safety for instant security, visibility, and accessibility, as well as a strong, simple, compact falling-block breech mechanism with an artillery-style breechblock and under-lever, making it ideally suited for today's powerful cartridges. The robust, sturdy, sculptured receiver forms a rigid support for the barrel, stock, and sliding breech block, while the ejector mechanism provides maximum leverage at the point where the ejector engages the cartridge case and can be adjusted to provide extraction only. Integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid steel quarter rib, provide a stable mounting surface for the included scope rings.
