In 2008, Ruger collaborated with noted outdoor writer Craig Boddington and Lipsey's on a special series of Number 1 rifles. The result was a limited edition five gun set that would share the same features and be chambered in different calibers optimized for Craig's favorite African species to hunt. Each of the rifles in the set feature a matte blue finish, circassion walnut stock, Warne quick detach rings, and special express sights made specifically for each caliber by Ruger. There were 250 of each model produced, with each caliber having the same serial # with a different pre-fix.
The 375 Ruger Lion was the first rifle produced in the series and was built on the lighter Number 1S model for a quick handling, lighterweight, heavy caliber rifle. The serial number run for this model is CB1-00001 through CB1-00250.
Lipsey's does have a limited few of these rifles in inventory to sell as of now. The majority of these rifles were sold as complete sets, so this is a great opportunity to pick one of these up.
