Ruger No.1 in .303 British will be made!!!
I struck up a post over on CGN about the idea of having a Canadian Edition Ruger No.1 in .303 British & it was posted by another that maybe the serial numbers should start 1867-****. Well it's starting to catch on grow & in interest & may have morphed to become a Commonwealth Edition, as interest has come in from Australia, N.Z. & South Africa. Serial numbers may start with 303-**** if this happens. Clay at Prophet River chimed in and said that he would take hard confirmations for people who said they would take one or more, but with no deposit until he is satisfied that he can get most of the 200 orders filled; which is required to have Ruger go into production for the required min. of 250 rifles. Lipsey's in the U.S. has spoken for 50 if it works out.
If you are interested in the possibility of owning one, you should contact Clay at:

I won't link his website here, as I am not sure if he is a contributing dealer or member here. So a simple search & you can find it.
