Thread: Ruger No1 Custom Rifles - Anyone have experience?

I have long toyed with the idea of a custom rifle based on a single shot falling block Farquharson style action.

The Hagn is amazing and something to aspire to, but a Ruger No1 is more affordable and readily available in New Zealand.

My objective would be to produce a single shot rifle about 9lb in weight with an all weather finish, long barrel for caliber and chambered in a 7mm, 300 or 338.

Ideally a brake will be used to tame recoil and as the falling block actions are short, you can maintain a long barrel for additional velocity with a reduced over all length rifle.

Ideally the proprietary Ruger bases will be replaced with weaver or picatinny rail.

Has anyone else done something similar?
