Description:
JAMES B. MEEK SIGNED MASTER ENGRAVED RUGER NO. 1-B .22-250 REMINGTON – EXHIBITION WALNUT – LEUPOLD M8 SCOPE

Available for sale is an outstanding collector-grade Ruger No. 1-B single shot rifle beautifully upgraded and master engraved by renowned American engraver James B. Meek.
This rifle represents a rare opportunity to acquire a signed Meek-engraved Ruger No. 1 featuring elegant relief scroll engraving, detailed game scenes, exceptional figured walnut, and classic American sporting rifle aesthetics.
Originally manufactured in 1980, the rifle was subsequently transformed by James B. Meek into a finely executed custom sporting arm. Meek is highly regarded among Ruger and American engraving collectors and is notably associated with engraved Ruger No. 1 presentation rifles created for President Gerald Ford during the U.S. Bicentennial period.
The coin-finished receiver features beautifully cut relief scroll engraving surrounding finely detailed game scenes depicting:
  • Ram on left side
  • Falcon on right side
The engraving is signed by James B. Meek adjacent to the serial number.
Features include:
  • Ruger No. 1-B falling block action
  • Caliber: .22-250 Remington
  • 26” barrel
  • Coin-finished engraved receiver
  • Full relief-cut American scroll engraving
  • Highly figured exhibition-grade walnut stock
  • Shadowline cheekpiece
  • Carved tiered bolsters
  • Engraved lever and tang
  • Leupold M8-4X scope in Ruger rings
  • Excellent mechanics and bore
Condition:
The rifle remains in excellent collector condition retaining approximately 99% original blue and coin finishes with only minor handling evidence. Checkering remains sharp and crisp. Bore is bright with strong rifling. Scope optics are clear.
This is not simply an engraved hunting rifle but rather a serious collector-quality American custom sporting arm with recognized master engraver provenance. The tasteful and restrained engraving style gives the rifle a timeless elegance rarely encountered on modern custom rifles.
A tremendous addition to any:
  • Ruger No. 1 collection
  • Custom sporting rifle collection
  • American engraving collection
  • High-end sporting arms investment portfolio
Additional high-resolution photographs available upon request.
