Came home today

[Brad]

This one came home today. Paul wanted me to have it and I'm honored to give it a good home.
From mild to wild this rifle can do it all.
A 45-70 is always a good choice.

You'd have to be pretty damned special for me to give you my #1 45/70 (if i had one to give), you definitely made the cut.

Cool, man!

 

[Kevin Stenberg]

Any caliber in a #1 is pretty special.

Have a pair of 45-70s! Was always on my bucket list! One is a Marlin 1895 and the other is a custom build on a Swede RB. Love them.

 

[Glaciers]

Nice! Ruger Number 1's are just sweet..

 

[waco]

Pretty special gift. I’m sure you have earned it.

 

[Wasalmonslayer]

That is a darn fine specimen Brad!

 

[Spindrift]

I love the No 1. Beautiful rifle! Enjoy!

Done that with this rifle enough in the past. I plan to keep loads on the sane side. No more 350 gr bullets in the 2000 FPS range. Ouch.

Great platform for the 45/70!! I shoulda never sold mine. I traded for the Browning High wall
Copy. 1885? I love it, but its a BPCR rifle so heavy heavy! Ya dont hunt that one!!

GOOD LUCK WITH YOURS!!!

I supposed it's probably a bit late to get Paul to adopt me isn't it?

Way too late.

You already know how I feel about #1's.
You're holding a very fine firearm.
Paul would want you to enjoy it.

[Petrol & Powder]

One of the best rifle actions ever made !

 

[Paul Gauthier]

A no. 1 is at the top of my bucket list, not sure i will ever acquire one as I am rapidly approaching fossilization, but who knows I may get lucky.

 

[JWFilips]

Brad you do know you are a lucky bugger

 

[JWFilips]

But I can not think of a better person to inherit his FIL rifles!
