Questions about the Ruger #1 for Alaska
      13/07/04 04:29 PM

I have been recently been turned on to the idea of a Ruger #1 in a 375 or bigger as a “good gun for Alaska” for moose and bear. I have been looking around and all of the 375’s I’ve seen are between $150 to $200 Dollars more than say the 416, Rem or Rigby, or even the 458 Win. I also see from the threads that some folks have rebarreled the #1 into 450#2 and other “classic British” rounds. Three Questions:
1. What might account for the price difference?
2. What would be the “best” cartridge for Alaska? (I have a hunt setup for next fall)
3. How fast can you get a second shot off accurately? (How much slower is the #1 compared to a Bolt Action?)

Thanks to all for the input.
