The Ruger #1 chambered in .45-70 is my favorite rifle. Great for when bison knock over your trash cans before the trash collectors empty them. Bison......its what's for dinner.
yeah i own a ruger 3 45-70, and load my own for it. for dangerous game i like to load 350 grain barnes x bullets to travel about 2200 FPS. and for heavier bullets, like 500 grain hard cast lead to about 1400 FPS. i bought factory buffalo bore 430 grain bullets. eh they do the job, but then i loaded some420 grain hard casts to around 1800 FPS that penetrated shit just fine. so ruger 1 45-70, endless possibilitys
the pistol was, but the gun that the Video was about wasn't out of frame. However, I'm sorry that the short amateur video I provided did not match your high expectations for the price you paid. I ask forgiveness for offending your tender sensibilities. My sincere apologies to all who viewed it.
Very large. The bullet can be up to three times heavier than the largest .30-06 bullet. If you want to see a pic just go to garrettcartridges website and look at their loads. Also, take awhile to look at the trophy section to see what kind of game you can hunt with it.
buy yourself a cheap Romanian WASR ($320 from AIMsurpluscom) first to see if you hit it off with the AK's. If you like the platform, save some money up and buy a Vector AK from FBMGcom ($700-$800)
didn't really have much problem with the receiver so much as with the tiny handguard. For a clumsy oaf such as myself its easy to slip off and inadvertantly grab the barrel. The heat coming off the receiver is not all that bad. just don't sling the rifle on your back without a shirt on...
The No. 1 does not have a "stamped" receiver. It's either forged or an investment casting (probably the latter). My No. 1 is in 30-06 and I've never had an issue with the receiver getting hot.
yea the .45-70 is one of the greatest cartridges of all time. if you want some seriously powerful hunting rounds, try garret ammo. they have a round made of tungsten that will penetrate just about anything. kinda expensive tho at $9 a shot. worth it for hunting i believe, especially when u have a cape buffalo or kodiak bear charging at u
haha. track pants and an ammo belt. seriously though. if you are new to .45-70 shooting and want a powerful, modern pressure round, you'll find it hard to do better than Buffalo Bore. i've never shot a more powerful .45-70 round than theirs
A rifle cares not what the shooter wears... I love the .45-70 so far. I'm going to start loading more powerful loads for the 405 gr hard-lead bullets.
I'm usually a Mil-type Weapons fan, but this falling-block rifle has really grown on me. And it thumps real good :-)

@Hanswurst27278 I thought the video had some of the best, and most realistic gun blast sound I've heard on Youtube.

I have heard that the stamped receivers heat up very fast. How does your's perform?

I'll probably never hunt a Buffalo, but I have plenty of fun tumbling heavy steel plates at 100 yds.
