just picked up a 1968 Leupold brochure off ebay. It has this nice picture of the just released Ruger 1 in it. thought I'd share it. Sorry for the bad photography, but you get the idea..

That's awesome! Leupold and Ruger make a great pairing.

That's neat. Given me something else to look for! Don't suppose there are any other pics where the serial number is visible?

sorry lee, this was the only picture so no serial number visible, but since I collect No 1s and old leupolds this was item I had to have!

Hey Lee,

I was wrong! Just reading the fine print of the brochure tonight and it does give rifle credits on the inside cover.
The Ruger No 1 pictured belonged to Jack Slack. It is a 7mm Rem Mag with 2 digit s/n 94...maybe you now own it now??

I met Jack Slack many years ago at NRA. I purchased 2 of his No.1's. I knew he had #94, but he told me it had been stolen. Look close at the rib; is there a sight there? #94 is supposed to be a B with sights!!
May be the only 7mm Rem Mag BBS.

can't really be sure about the rear sight being present, it appears that the rib has 2 forward locking areas for the rings and with the front ring being located in the forward position it somewhat hides that area. I tried my best to get a close up pic, but guess photography isn't my strong suit..

That's not normal! Not supposed to be 2 ring mounting slots in front on the rib! Bet that is where the rear sight was.

Can you post a pic of the cover, please?

Lee, here is the cover of the brochure. I believe that Leupold used this same cover multiple consecutive years in the late 60's and early 70's. therefore, if you want the Ruger 1 picture inside, you must look for it.
