Platform and Finish

The RUGER NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL is presented in a classic blued/wood aesthetic with a 20″ barrel that balances maneuverability and ballistic performance. The combination of a blued barrel and traditional wood stock gives a stable, comfortable shooting position for repeated precision shots.

Caliber and Ballistics

This variant is chambered in .22 Hornet, a cartridge prized for low recoil, flat shooting for its class, and excellent performance on small game and target silhouettes at moderate ranges. For target practice, the .22 Hornet allows for precise shot placement with manageable recoil, aiding follow-up shot consistency in single-shot drills.

Sights and Sight Picture

Factory-equipped with a bead front sight (FS) and an adjustable rear sight (RS), the rifle allows quick initial alignment with the bead and fine-tuning via the adjustable rear for varied ranges and ammunition. These sights make the rifle useful for both rapid acquisition at closer distances and careful zeroing for precision work at longer ranges.

Action and Use Cases

The single-shot falling-block action is inherently rigid, delivering a consistent lockup that many shooters find translates directly to repeatable accuracy. This makes the RUGER NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL ideal for benchrest-style practice, silhouette shooting, and deliberate marksmanship training where one shot at a time is the focus.

Priced at $2479.99, this rifle sits in the premium single-shot category—reflecting its high-quality materials, fit, and the Ruger heritage behind the No. 1 line. The listing is categorized under Single Shot and notes the model as Various within the Ruger brand lineup.
