Ruger No. 1 Straight wall cartridge options
I have always loved single shot rifles, especially the falling block designs. I've got a Sharps and 2 Stevens, and I used to have a nice Ruger No. 1 in .308win that I sold years ago. I miss that rifle and feel a growing need for another. With straight wall rifle cartridges now legal for deer in Maryland, it seems time.
I know the most common straight wall chamberings for the No. 1 is .45-70 and probably. I see a few others out there, like the odd .38-55win, .405win, and .44mag. I know there have been some recent ones in 450 Marlin and 450 Bushmaster.
What others am I missing that I might consider.
