And finding a good gunsmith to work on a #1 is a challenge. Lots say they will but can they do it correctly. The ones who can and will are booked up.

It’s a 93 Minimalist. I played with the action screws going from below to over torque specs and it didn’t help. I have the same gun in 22lr and it shoots/cycles great.

I have a Savage 22 Mag that won’t feed. Checked all the screws, tried different ammo brands. Called Savage and they sent me a new magazine. Still won’t feed no matter what I do. Will send it back to them eventually. Hate even seeing that gun in the safe.

I may have a new bag (50 pieces) of Hornady 250 Savage brass if you are interested in it let me know.

All I have hunted with for the last 8 years or so has been single shots. I love the #1. Still have a couple unfired in the safe.

If that rifle doesn’t work out for you I will buy it back for $100 since it’s used now.

I carry different rifles throughout deer season. I usually check zero on several before season and then rotate usually starting off with smaller calibers and then go larger as the weather worsens.

I am not doing an auction. Just sold 3 Ruger 77 RSI’s on auction and lost money. If I post it will be a simple buy now. I surf gunbroker at least once a day for new #1 listings. Some of the prices people are asking are just crazy.

Thanks for the responses. About $1500 is what I was thinking.

Is Blue Book something I can do online ? #1 know prices are all over the place. Only 280 I see on gunbroker is a used black pad #1 with some laminated after market stock that has a $1649 buy now price.

I am trying to find out a fair value for a rifle that I am thinking of selling. Tried completed auctions on gunbroker but nothing popped up for the caliber and we know Caliber helps dictate price. The gun is a Ruger #1B Red Pad 280 Rem /7MM Express (has both caliber stamps on the barrel.). 1982...

I too was never a 30-06 fanboy. Always favored the 308 myself . I did however buy a #1 in 30-06. It shoots 150gr Partitions well. Want to try some 165gr Ballastic tips since I have a large supply of them on hand.

Those look cool. I have a Javelina skull that I need to get dipped.

So was your Daughter surprised with her present ?

I like the mount just not a fan of the blue paint.
