I am looking for a gunsmith that specializes in Ruger #1 guns. Looking to have a custom gun built. Any suggestions?

Mark Stratton is well known for his work with No.1's.

What are you going to have built?

Thanks guys!

The 338 RUM crossed my mind. I also have a friend wanting a .257 Weatherby Mag on a #1.

Not a problem for either caliber but use a forearm tension screw on any #1 for the best accuracy The #1 is a great action for a single shot and I have built many for my customers. If you need any advice give me a call 207-938-3595.
