I think I found a stray that needs a home. Ruger No. 1 in .303 British

[Eb1]

I was browsing the Ruger site, and found a No. 1 in .303 British. I really like the .303 British caliber, and always wanted a single shot in this caliber. I like shooting my Lee Enfield. I have been wanting a .30 caliber that slings a 180 to 220 grain bullet for a long time. I have one in the Enfield, but wanted a shorter sportier rifle, but couldn't bring myself to chopping up the 1943 Lithgow.

Now I have to start saving for a new rifle. Seems as soon as I get one another shows up needing a home.

A Ruger Nmber One in any caliber is a great rifle and I'm sure that 303 will increase in collector value as time goes by. I kow that my 1B's in 22 Hornet and 6mm Rem have increased in price since Ruger discontinued them.

I love mine with irons in 30-06, most versatile caliber out there.

Why they never chambered the gun in 7.62x54r is beyond me.
The 303 I understand was made primarily for the Canadian market where 303 is still a big caliber.
