I have written to Ruger expressing my concern over the future of the #1 and so should everone else who enjoys a classy yet affordable affordable single shot rifle.
Ruger makes this easy to do right from their website websiteby using the "Contact the CEO" tab at the bottom of their web page.
you should also let them know that the Medium Sporter should be offered in .375 x 2 1/2" Flanged N.E.
