They are wonderful rifles. The trigger is easily modified, but I've never needed to. A few friends have felt the need.
I try to add one a year. Last few were 250 Savage, 30-30, 7.62x39 and 6.5 Creedmoor.
Took a 9.3x74, 303 British and 405 WCF to Africa in 2018. They worked just as well in this century as they did the last two.

I have one from the first run and love it. Like you I have found the No.1 to be good shooters. Think the only one I had that didn't shoot really well was a Cabelas special in .300 H&H. Very fussy, so it went down the road. Have had many of these but currently only the .275, a K1-A 257 Roberts, and an S in 9.3x74R. These are all excellent shooters.
Have never bothered with the so called improvements, accurizers etc. Triggers are usually just great.
I did a couple of articles for Gun World when I was writing for them some time ago, one on the .405 Win and another on the .450/400 and 9.3x74R together. Main purpose of the .405 piece was to see what could be done with 400 gr bullets on the stronger Ruger platform. In short, a lot can be done.

I have the M77 version in this caliber. Ruger did it right on this series.

I really like the .275 Rigby aka 7×57. Have you tried 175gr bullets?

Not yet, but have shot plenty of them in 7x57 Mausers. I'll try some just to see how the gun is throated.
I did grab 2 more pounds of StaBALL 6.5 Powder. It works wonders in this cartridge. Makes it easy to shoot a 150 grn at 2900 fps.

Wow 2900fps with a 150gr bullet that's cooking.

The 7x57/275 Rigby case holds slightly more powder than the 7mm-08. For modern loads, I just use 7mm-08 Data. Can match the ballistics of the 7mm-08 with slightly less pressure. Not for the old 93/95 Mauser Surplus Rifles...

I wish I had known. I recently sold a #1 in 275 and took a loss. No one wanted it even though I marked it 7x57 on my dealers tag. My 257 Roberts is staying with me though.

That is Very cool,
I had a 1A in 7x57. I only bout it cause it was a good deal, Mine had a long throat, and i could seat bullets way out there. Using H-414 i got consistent 3 shot groups of .75 2900 plus FPS. And that was a 20 inch barrel i think. Great round, I have a sporterized mil surp FN 98 now. I need to put a pad on it. Great buy ! enjoy !
