The Ruger No. 1 is a single-shot rifle, with Farquharson-style internal hammer falling-block action, manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. It was introduced in 1967. An underlever lowers the block allowing loading and cocks the rifle. Lenard Brownell, commenting on his work at Ruger, said of the No. 1: "There was never any question about the strength of the action. I remember, in testing it, how much trouble I had trying to tear it up. In fact, I never did manage to blow one apart."

Sliding tang safety provides instant security, visibility and accessibility.

Strong, simple, compact falling-block breech mechanism with artillery-style breechblock and under-lever is ideally suited for today's powerful cartridges.

Robust, sturdy, sculptured receiver forms a rigid support for barrel, stock and sliding breech block.

Ejector mechanism provides maximum leverage at the point where the ejector engages the cartridge case and can be adjusted to provide extraction only.

Integral scope mounts, machined directly on the solid steel quarter rib, provide a stable mounting surface for included scope rings.

Cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity.

Also Includes: sporting style buttpad; sling swivel studs.
