I waited 10 years to buy the #1 I wanted. It was worth every minute of the wait. I reload for mine and as such mine shoots quite accurately.They are heavy- but that is a good thing when you throw it upto your shoulder, it steadies down right away. the weight is a draw back when carrying it all day. The fact that the #1 with a 26" barrel is shorter than most bolt actions with a 22" barrel is a good thing when it comes to getting through the thicker brush. another interesting fact about single shot rifles is that people tend to shoot better with a single shot than a repeater. They take more care with lining up their shot because they know they do not have a quick back up shot. I love my single shot #1. If I were going to buy another rifle it would be another single shot but maybe a T/C this time.
