When you think of single-shot rifles, think of the best. Think Ruger No.1, the standard for American-Made single-shot rifles. With a No.1 rifle for virtually every sporting activity, in calibers from .204 Ruger to the powerful 450/400 Nitro Express, you can find the configuration that is best for you - or you can collect them all. No.1 rifles are available with standard barrels, heavyweight barrels or varmint barrels (all hammer-forged); beaver-tail forends, Alexander Henry-style forends, or Mannlicher-style full-length International stocks; and in blued alloy or weather-resistant stainless steel. The marksman who owns a No.1 rifle values high-quality American craftsmanship, has pride of ownership, and demands reliable, accurate performance.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 222 Remington, introduced in 1950, was designed as a super-accurate benchrest cartridge by Remington engineer (and legendary benchrest shooter) Mike Walker. Accurate and easy on barrels, it was the most popular 22 centerfire and most popular varmint cartridge for many years. Today it has given way in popularity to the 223 Remington and the much faster 22-250, but it is often a more accurate cartridge than either, and is still loaded by most major ammunition suppliers. Bullets of 50 to 55 grains run just over 3000 feet per second; lighter bullets can be faster and heavier bullets will be a bit slower. It remains a fine choice for varmint hunting out to perhaps 300 yards, and heavy-bullet (60 grains and over) loads are available for deer hunting where it is legal. Relatively few new rifles are still chambered to 222 Remington, but it remains a fine and versatile 22 centerfire. — Craig Boddington
