Ruger No. 1 Medium Sporter - .460 S&W Magnum - Excellent Condition - Rare Discontinued Configuration

Ruger No. 1 – .460 S&W Magnum – The Ultimate Single-Shot Powerhouse

This Ruger No. 1 Medium Sporter in the formidable .460 Smith & Wesson Magnum is offered in excellent used condition, complete in its original box. Serial number 134-53165. This represents a rare and discontinued configuration of Ruger's iconic falling-block single-shot rifle, marrying the classic elegance of the No. 1 platform with the tremendous power of one of the world's most potent handgun cartridges, now capable of rifle velocities.

Featuring a 20" blued barrel with 1:20" twist rate optimized for stabilizing heavy .460 S&W projectiles, this rifle transforms the already-powerful revolver cartridge into a true rifle-power system. The American walnut hardwood furniture showcases Ruger's traditional craftsmanship, while the falling-block single-shot action provides exceptional strength and reliability for handling the .460 S&W's substantial pressures. Open rifle sights provide quick target acquisition for close to medium-range shooting where this cartridge excels.

As a discontinued model in this rare chambering, this Ruger No. 1 represents a unique intersection of traditional rifle design and modern extreme-power cartridge technology. The .460 S&W Magnum, when fired from this 20" rifle barrel, achieves velocities and energies far beyond its revolver origins, creating what may be the ultimate short-range brush and dangerous game single-shot rifle.
