[QUOTE="pdcrig, post: 1025394, member: 6358"] Cheepshooter. I just purchased my first No.1. I've wanted one for years but the price always turned me away. I found a good deal on Gunbroker so I jumped on it. It's a .30-06 1A and it's great. I haven't scoped it yet but plan on it soon. The barrel isn't attached like a 10/22. It's actually screwed on like a normal centerfire rifle. The accuracy troubles that are attributed to the No.1 come from several sources and misunderstandings over the years. Yes, some of the early barrels (mids 70s to early 90s) have been known to have problems. But they're like a box of chocolates..you know the rest. If you get one of the really early barrels made by Douglas or the relatively new Ruger made barrels you should be fine. I shot a friends heavy barrel 223 the other day and it will shoot 1MOA all day long. It depends on your load and how patient you'll be to find the right one. You can find all kinds of info on this subject on 24 Campfire. There are lots of No.1 fans on there. If you plan on building a long barreled Creedmore type rifle the .45-110 would be fun.
