I love that people are bring back the old rounds like the 450/400 NE thumbs up for using it. Ive gotta get me one!!

Thanks for the upload always good to see new vids on the Ruger No. 1. Looking at the 458 lott version personally.

Absolutely gorgeous rifles.

hi.. nice presentaion. i do believe ruger no 1's are quite great & currently i have 4 of those chambered to; 450-400 n.e, 505 Gibbs, 500 nitro exp 577 nitro exp (not an ssk) and plan to have the 470 nitro & the 450 nitro real soon. my rifles can be seen on you tube at; about 1tufgun at you tube then click again.. regards Avi

Great work, that gun is amazing!!

It all depends how quickly you can reload. I can eject and load another cartridge in pretty quick time - less than 2 seconds - but I've had plenty of practice. Also, the No.1 shoots INCREDIBLY tight groups, giving me confidence in my shots and reducing the need for a follow up.

nothing explaining the bear collar was revealed to me

I've got a couple #1s and a couple more on my wish list. One of the finest rifles ever produced. There is just something about hunting with a single shot that does the heart and mind good.

Njala is small game. My great grandfather used a 450 single shot in the 1950's for buffalo and elephant in what is today known as Zambia.

How's Nyala small game?

I have both .375 H&H and .375 Ruger. Both are great calibres. Why stick with one, when you can play with many?

hi ian, just having a watch back through your videos love my big game rifles and hunting, whats the scope you use on the tropical? i tried listening a few time over but i couldnt make it out, thanks pal and hope you keep it up pal always look forward to your videos

ummm why does that black bear have a collar?

I wanted a Ruger No. 1 in .405 Winchester for a long time and finally picked one up last year, brand new. The .405 is good enough for anything in North America but I'd want something more if I ever wanted to hunt in Africa, e.g., a .450/400 or a .416 Rigby. They are such a GORGEOUS rifle and all sorts of fun to shoot, even if you're only punching paper.

Wow...that is a hunting budget I would like to have! Good shooting. Peace.

A friend of mine's husband was asked to take down a hippo that was keeping a village from the water. He had an over/under Nitro Express 400, it took several rounds to take down the hippo.

there was Ruger 1 450/400 NE with about 100rds and reloading dies for sale a couple hours from me for $1800 a while back. If i knew then what i know now i wouldn't have thought twice about getting it. Alas, i was new to this firearms thing and "didnt want to waste money on a single shot rifle." I do have a Ruger No. 3 in 45-70 now that i need to put some lead through.

Watch the video all the way through and all will be revealed...

you bet!

I don't think that any charge of BP can push that 400-gr bullet down a barrel without some catastrophic failure. If on the other hand you duplicate the original 450/400 Black Powder Express 3 1.1/4," use a 230-300-gr LEAD bullet ahead of about 100-gr of black. Please consult a reloading manual before trying it.

What are you talking about? That was awesome! Bear got OWNED!!>:D

love my number 1 in 375 H&H

Did you eat the bear in the end or did you just stuff it as a trophy?

I want one in .45-70

you have to ask viking arms to lend you a no.1 in .303 british for a test, it would be interesting to see how the round would perform on deer etc in a modern rifle with modern hunting optics.

person below obviously didn't watch the bear video...they are tagged to follow where they go it record the info...then when shot you return the collar (and pick up $50 for the thing) and they gather there info from its little black box. also..nice gun, but to big for my needs lol

Well if you have one hope you have ammunition because Hornady has decided not to make ammunition for many of its calibers in order to keep their 6.5 creedmoor well-stocked!

Theres no such thing as overkill, if it dies then it dies. i love big bore rifles for hunting everything. gotta get me a 450-400 nitro express some day.

Looks like a very light load.

Has a nice kick to it haha

I've got an excellent Ruger No. 1 chambered in .375 H&H Magnum. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford a double rifle... Hahaha, no way.

The collar is set in place by the Canadian government to track bears. When one is legally hunted, you take the collar back into the fish and game and they download the data.

It actually helps to understand the bear's movements better so they can understand how to conserve them better as a species I believe

No I haven't but if I did I wouldn't shoot a collared monitored Bear either!

Keep your eyes closed then as apparently you can't either read or comprehend that hunting is different in different places.

Are you kidding me !? That bear could have been taken with a .22 ! It only looks to weigh @ 60-70 lbs and you shoot it with an elephant gun? Strangest s*+t I've seen in hunting. That's bizarre!

Sorry, but I'm afraid it's all part of the management process. I was told to take the bear and the collar was returned to the Department of Wildlife to retrieve the data. How a bear died is as important as how it lived.

I've heard of people who runs their Rugers at about 65,000 and they have apparently had a few problems. Edit: We run the Ruger at 62,000 psi
