SOLD WTS Ruger No 1S-C, LNIB, 45-70

[paul castelli]

A scarce item for you, as only 250 of these were made for Lipsey's.
26" C weight "tropical" barrel, and Circassian walnut stock.
A range queen with a few scattered tiny safe dings in wood, otherwise immaculate. Pics tell the story.
Full disclosure: fired with lead bullets only at moderate/trapdoor loads, Wolff mainspring installed & hammer weight reduced by about 30% so lock time cut in half, original trigger.
Box is water stained, rifle is not. All factory items in box, as well as a set of Warne 30mm rings included.
$1700.00 to your FFL
Your FFL must accept shipment from private party

One of my favorite rifles, I have one I shoot quite a bit. You can reduce the recoil with hand loads, my wife shoots mine and has fun too. Good luck with the sale, that’s a beautiful rifle.

I was running 405gn poly coated lead bullets at around 1300fps, recoil was a firm shove instead of a sharp jab. Quite tolerable even for a lighweight ( 140 lbs ) like me. Wish I had better pics, the stock is quite striking but does not "pop" in the pics.
