Rifle, box, papers, lock, rings and swivels. Round count at app. 225 with a mix of loads, likes 175's just fine. Barrel on this model is 24" with a fixed rear sight and white bead front.
I have had this since 2017 and havent shot it in a while so time to let someone else enjoy it. Good shooter with no issues. Wood is better than average for recent Ruger rifles, not much figure but some color variances and light fiddleback, unlike many of the more current rifles with abysmal looking straight grain, blah wood.

I cannot find another like this for sale anywhere and not sure what its worth these days, but lets start with $1600 shipped and insured. All I see for sale are RSI models running from $2400 to $3500, which is pretty stupid high in my view.
I can take more pics if anyone wants something specific, but I think these show conditon pretty well. Bore is perfect. I was shooting a MEO 6x on this rifle but I prefer to keep it and most shooters have something else in mind for their scopes.

First to post an "I'll take it", here on this thread buys it. Followed up with a PM to discuss details payment etc. Questions and conversations take a back seat to an I'll take it here.

No paypal or CC, most paper payment is good, personal checks from most is fine, otherwise USPS money orders and bank checks. No Wally world, or Western Union, 7-11 stuff please.
PM with questions.

Well maybe the big bores do. This rifle isnt worth that kind of scratch.
 
I recently bought one of these on AH. They are great rifles. Mine Is seriously accurate (sub 1/2” at 100). Someone is going to get a great rifle!

Oh, and this seller is one of the good guys!
 
So this is essentially like the Boddington Leopard, without the special serial number?
 
Very nice rifle at a very fair price!
 
Nothing to look at here folks, move along......

The Leopard had a matte finish and Carcassian Walnut, I believe. Not better, just different than this rifle here. The sights from the Boddington series can be installed on the standard Ruger 1 and M77 with ease.

I am not sure what the Bodd rifle looked like exactly but IIRC its 7x57, not marked .275 Rigby. What sets this apart primarily is the longer barrel when an 1-A is normally 22, this is 24". The sights and the caliber markings. Its a long barreled 1A with different sights.
These were a Lipseys run of about 250 rifles, IIRC.
 
Will throw in 40 pcs of .275 Rigby stamped new brass from Quality Cartridge with the sale.

The Boddington was marked 275 Rigby, but not sure about barrel length. These Ruger No1 rifles have had so many special runs and variations, a collector would have fits collecting them all, even in the same caliber. I bet this is a sweet shooting rifle with the longer barrel though.

You may want to double check that, everything I see says 7x57.

" The 7X57mm Leopard was the fourth installment of the Boddington Series. Falling Block Single Shot, 22" Barrel, Circassion Walnut Stock, Matte Blue Finish, 1-in-..."
 
You may regret selling this rifle. Mine has quickly become a favorite.
 
Had it since 2017, I had my fun. Besides I have a classic BSA sporter and the M98 Mauser, plus a 7x64.. I got the caliber covered.(y)

Yep. You're correct. I guess I was thinking about the African M77.
 
Beautiful.
Love these #1's....
Somebody needs to give this a new home.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
