CAPTURED A RARE ONE

Post by Hawkeye28 »

This past week, a Friend and fellow Forum member provided a timely heads-up for a Ruger #1A Light Sporter in 223. As noted earlier, this is a very uncommon variation, SN 132-40XXX, early 1980's, which had a VERY limited build run. The offering had a BUY NOW and I jumped at it. My sincere appreciation and thanks to my friend for the prompt message. 8-) :!:

I too own a non CHP .357 magnum No.1. Here in Ohio, it is legal for white tail deer and mine has been very effective out to 150 yards with my 180 grain Hornady hand loads. Fun to shoot with .38s too for my grandson. brass frame/Lee

My Nephew lives down there in Ohio and I can use my No 1 in 38-55 when I'm there hunting with him also :D
