I have never owned a No1 but have admired a number of them over the years :wink:.
I personally believe that the 280 Remington is a great and very underrated calibre.
I have always dreamed of a Ruger #1 in my hunting go-to's. Never had the $$$$ until now, in my retired years. But the cartridge I'd love to have is only offered in a barrel shorter than I think is appropriate.
A 280 should be on everyone's short list. Probably the #1 for an only one.
