that's interesting, I remember reading an article in maybe a gun digest about the.270 win., the writer's rifle was a Ruger #1 with #3 wood. don't know if this was to make a lighter rifle or just what the man had on hand when he needed a stock.

Rifle manufacturers like car and airplane manufacturers can name their product as they damn well please. Possibly, there was once a trial project to make the #2 and the result was either not marketable or the price was too high for successful sales.
Ruger is narrowing the offering of the #1 now that Bill Ruger has passed on. At the NRA Annual meeting, I talked to the salespeople and was told they consider this a niche market for collectors. The Ruger #1 will be offered each year in four calibers and four stock styles.
