I've used my .375 for elk and bear; 275 Rigby and 257 Roberts and 243 for deer and the .22-250 for song dogs and prairie dogs.

I have 2, a #1B in 270 Bee, and a #1V in 22-250, hunted with them for years, killed a bunch of critters with them, but now have more guns than time, I did however loan the 270 Bee to a hunter from UK for his hunting trip to our place, he was impressed with how it did on his buck.
I have only owned one No.1 to date, a Lipsey's Edition RSI in 257 Roberts that now belongs to the wife, and is still NIB. She shoots her Lipsey's Edition No. 1 in 250 Savage and has carried it hunting, but has not yet taken game with it.
Would love to get a Lipsey's Edition RSI in 6.5x55 for hunting with. Hope to find one someday. A No.1 in 338 Federal is another on the bucket list. And a 218 Bee...
A friend has a No.1 in 270 Wby with a 4 digit s/n that he may sell soon...might have to grab it when he finally decides to sell...

RSI is a 6.5x55, the 7x57 went to Africa and took 4 animals with 4 shots.

7mm Rem Mag:
Plus a pronghorn I didn't photograph 'cause it was too ugly with the neck shot.
375 H&H at 306 yards:
There were a few more bears too.

Always wanted an RSI but was weary of accuracy. I have seen a few with issues.

Gentlemen,
You have restored my faith!!!!!
I'm not the only nut that likes to hunt with a classic single shot.
I've got a 1a.243-1V .22-250 and an RSI in .243.
I finally got a load after much testing of different bullets and powder combinations to shoot sub MOA .
I'm using a 65 grain V Max with IMR4064.
This is in the 1a with a Leupold 3HD 2.5X10X 44 scope. The trigger is a factory 3 screw, and it breaks nice.
My intention is to use it for coyotes in NE PA and Southern NJ.
Then I want to find a load with 90 or 95 grain Ballistic Tips for White Tail Deer.
I sincerely appreciate your responses and great pictures to boot! Keep Em Comin!!!!!

I never got anything heavier than 55 grain to shoot out of my .22-250, it also likes 4064. Keep the faith, If I find the 300 HH I’m looking for I’ll do all my hunting with the #1; even elk. If I draw three states next season I’ll use the 275 rigby for elk as well.

You whippersnapper!Guy, is that your younger brother with the bear???
My wife broke up laughing when she read that Lefty. Thanks.
That bear hunt was in 2010, which seems quite a while ago now.
