The Ruger No. 1 is one of the finest modern sporting single-shot rifles ever produced, blending classic British styling with Ruger's famously robust falling block action. Chambered in the versatile .243 Winchester, this example features the highly desirable Alexander Henry fore-end—the distinctive notched fore-end profile inspired by the legendary Scottish gunmaker that has become one of the defining characteristics of the Ruger No. 1. Combined with the tang safety and express iron sights, it delivers timeless elegance with practical field performance.

The massive falling block action is among the strongest sporting rifle actions ever designed, providing exceptional rigidity and outstanding inherent accuracy. The .243 Winchester remains one of North America's premier dual-purpose cartridges, offering flat trajectories, mild recoil, and excellent precision for varmints, predators, and medium-sized game. The 22-inch barrel balances velocity with quick handling while the included factory Ruger rings make mounting quality optics effortless.

The beautifully figured walnut stock is accented by crisp checkering and the distinctive Alexander Henry fore-end, giving the rifle exceptional handling while preserving its classic British sporting rifle appearance. Ruger's integral quarter rib provides one of the strongest scope mounting systems available, while the factory express sights allow the rifle to be carried and hunted immediately even without optics. The tang safety is conveniently positioned for fast, instinctive operation in the field.

Whether pursuing coyotes across open prairie, whitetail deer in hardwoods, or varmints at extended ranges, the .243 Winchester offers outstanding versatility with minimal recoil and excellent downrange performance. Shot placement is made easier by the cartridge's flat trajectory and the inherent precision of the Ruger No. 1 platform. For hunters who appreciate deliberate marksmanship and the challenge of a single-shot rifle, few firearms are as rewarding.

The Ruger No. 1 has earned a loyal following among collectors and sportsmen alike thanks to its elegant styling, unmatched action strength, and limited annual production compared to conventional bolt-action rifles. This example retains its factory Ruger rings, express sights, Alexander Henry fore-end, and classic red Ruger recoil pad—features that collectors actively seek. It is an outstanding opportunity to own one of Bill Ruger's most iconic sporting rifle designs in the ever-popular .243 Winchester.
