I want a 96 more than anything. I kick myself for not buying them when they were being produced. All of them.

They hold 5. What I'm talking about is if you pickle off 5, then reload quick, and pickle off another 5.

You pretty much need a hat or rag to hold onto it and get the second 5 loaded, and by the time the second 5 leave the pipe, you pretty much can't touch anything metal forward of the bolt without a welding glove.

I'm exaggerating, but not that much. It gets really hot, really quick. I suspect that's at least part of the reason Ruger never messed with a large cap magazine version.


Didn't the 96 have a rotorary mag...or am I mistaken?


Yes...rotary magazine....22 LR, 22 Mag, and 44 Mag 96 used same magazine as the semi-auto's......
