Ruger No. 1 Sporter Features The Ruger No. 1 Sporter is built around a 22 brushed stainless steel barrel chambered in .35 Whelen with a 1:12 twist rate delivering the deep-penetrating terminal performance and flat trajectory that makes the .35 Whelen one of the most capable North American big game cartridges for medium to long-range hunting applications. The quarter rib with included rings provides a solid repeatable optic mounting platform while the open adjustable rifle sights offer a reliable iron sight aiming solution for hunters who prefer traditional sighting systems in the field. The two-position top tang safety provides secure intuitive operation without interrupting the clean classic lines of the No. 1 action. The No. 1 Sporter stainless walnut single-shot rifle features a high-grade walnut stock with an Alexander Henry forend and red recoil pad combining premium wood aesthetics with practical field functionality in a rifle that is as comfortable to look at as it is to shoot. The brushed stainless steel finish on the barrel and action provides excellent corrosion resistance through demanding field conditions while complementing the rich walnut stock for a refined two-tone sporting aesthetic. At 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 38.50 overall the No. 1 Sporter balances elegant proportions with the handling characteristics demanded by serious big game hunters. The Ruger No. 1 is one of the most iconic and revered single-shot rifle designs in American firearms history introduced in 1967 and celebrated for its falling-block action exceptional accuracy and timeless aesthetic that has made it a favorite among hunters collectors and sporting rifle enthusiasts for over five decades.
