We are swapping the barrel, installing an after market recoil lug, glass bedding, installing a new Arken optics scope, working on some load development and much more.

Okay, this may not be the most ground-shaking, trapping innovation, but I’d say it’s worth a look – even if just for fun. A while ago a video was posted to this channel, testing bullet penetration on some frozen turkeys I had using a Ruger No. 1 chambered for .45-120 (link below). The plan was […]

It provides mild recoil, flat-shooting and surprising effectiveness due to its velocity. For anyone wishing to get a sense of how it handles and how much […]

This video demonstrates proper technique when it comes to handling recoil. Featuring a unique, high-powered rifle chambered for the old, buffalo-hunting era .45-120 cartridge (think “Quigley Down Under”), a woman uses the recommended military stance. The rifle used in this demonstration is a Ruger No. 1, custom-chambered for the aforesaid cartridge, firing a 535 grain […]

Shooting is fun. Shooting steel gongs is fun. Shooting steel gongs with a Ruger No. 1 custom chambered for the old, buffalo-era .45-120 cartridge (think Quigley Down Under) is even funner! In an effort to compare hitting power, I take two Ruger No. 1 rifles – one chambered for the .45-120 cartridge hurling a 535 […]
