Stumbled into a No 1 I couldn't pass up

[potatojudge]

The nice wood, Canjar trigger, and convenient chambering (6mm Remington) were too nice to let go when this came up for sale locally. Pics show the trigger in the unset and set positions, about 2/0.5 lbs respectively and excellent. All my No 1 rifles have very good factory triggers that I never thought needed upgrading, but the Canjar is a significant improvement. An unexpected bonus was inclusion of primed brass and dies. I suppose I won't be stealing brass from dad's No 1 in 257 to neck down after all. .

Nice rifle! I had a Canjar on my Browning B-78 7 mag gif awhile and gunsmith said they are pretty intricate to install but man do thee work well.

Foolishly sold my last one (No. 1-A / 7X57) & been kicking myself ever since. Gotta' love a No. 1!

Well I guess I could not pass  up this number  one . It has an onfired new 270 barrel which goes into the barrel bucket and a 1 in 9 chambered in 218 mbee goes on. Barrel  : 28 inch , p rail , threaded both ends,  wont be carried  only benched, cant add too but can shorten, new trigger. Have a nice day

I always learn a lot from this site. I have had a 22-250 Number 1 Ruger for years, with what I just assumed was a trigger shoe. I never paid the trigger any attention, because it shot good, and killed a bunch of groundhogs.

Reading this, I now realize the trigger was a Canjar set trigger all along. Next time I take it out, I will try the set feature.

Well I am going to find it will be hard to keep up with the present # 1 mbee the gun  was a hornet  had the hicks work done on it, It also had (has) canjar set trigger butter melt in your mouth smooth. The hicks work went away in the rebarrel to the 10 twist but it dos not seem to make any difference . I have tried lil gun, h110, and now using CFE BLK it seems to favor the sierra 7160 60 grain TMK giving  just over 1 inch at 2oo yards ,the primer corners still have some round are tight on reload,no cratering, some of the brass has as many as 20 + reloads. The avg speed at 7800 feet is 2932, the aol is over 2 inch, there is still more space in the brass not a compressed load . Have a nice day Don K
