So far I really like the Ruger #1. This is my first big bore rifle, so, I don't really have anything to compare it to. It's at the gunsmith right now having the barrel floated and hangerarm glass bedded. The factory recoil pad is also being replaced with a "decelerator" pad. All my other rifles are semi-auto's or bolt guns. I like this single shot. I'm going to have safety switch inletted later. The extracted cases hit the safety as it is now. I'll pick the gun up on Saturday. I've made up some hand loads and want to get the scope on it to better check the accuracy. I'm leaning towards the Leupold 1.5-5. Possibly with the illuminated reticle. Any thoughts or experiences with the illuminated reticles?
