Freedumb1,

That IS some beautiful wood!

I have had nothing but great customer service from Ruger over the past thirty years.

I DO wish they would make extension front rings in different heights, but that is the only gripe I have with them.

Same here. I've had several very favorable experiences with Ruger customer service as well. The one that stands out in my mind was the time I was trying to get some sighting issues sorted out on an integrally suppressed MKII. I contacted the Prescott, Arizona facility about buying a couple of different front sights to machine down in height. I was more than willing to pay for them and was told so-and-so would need to talk to me about that, since there were about three or four different front sights used. (!!!) About ten minutes later I received a call back from none other than the PLANT MANAGER who visited with me at length about the suppressor, who did the conversion, etc. He turned around and sent a small package of about a half-a-dozen sights -- FOR FREE. That's hard to beat.

Jeff doesn't need any support for the points he has offered here. That doesn't mean that there aren't some who will gladly stand with him even in disagreement. (I do, and quite unapologetically.) It was BT, not Jeff, who came out rudely in taking offense with Rost's opinions. On the one hand, I can see where Jeff is coming from with the Second Amendment stuff and the Mini deal. Then again, any company who builds the weaponry with obvious multi-generational rugged use capacities that Ruger does seems hardly opposed to Second Amendment issues, even if their primary motive seems to be money. Now, if Ruger was pawning off something like the the multi-way weak products that Remington has put out - with an obvious focus on the bottom line and with seemingly little concern for rugged longevity, well, that would be a definite problem for me.

All that said, on the recent hunt I just returned from - after riding 500 miles to hunt caribou, I took two rifles. One was a Remington, a well proven Model Seven. The second (back-up) was a Ruger. I had seriously considered bringing a #1-A in 7 x 57, and it would have been fine for the hunting we did. However, since snow, overflow, and wet were without question over the span of those miles, I opted to go with two shooters whose glass/plastic composite and chrome/nickel metallics were unlikely to be phased. The trip ended up being a success. We got our daily limit of five caribou apiece, and we got everything safely home without damage. My partner didn't need his back-up, a Winchester, since his Ruger worked flawlessly; I didn't need my Ruger as the Remington performed flawlessly. The weapons worked better than either of the shooters. But, a picture of composite and nickel/chromium metal ain't worth ten words let alone the bandwidth, so.........; and besides, they weren't #1s anyway.

Well BT I will support what rost495 said originally. He made a statement that he doesn't like buying Rugers because of Bill Ruger's politics. I have a hard time buying them for that very reason although I do have a couple Ruger guns. I realize that Bill is no longer with us and that his politics do not play a part in the company anymore but it still erks me. Sorry for holding a grudge but that's just me. Ruger makes some great guns though.

But your actions and words on this thread are beyond childish! A man just makes a simple comment about his believes and you call him every obsene name in the book? What kind of person does this? You come off as a uneducated bully who needs his mouth washed out. I bet your mother would be real proud to hear you talk like that!

Lifes to short to collect ugly rifles.....

Ain't it amazing how fast a good thread can go to crap around here anymore?Or is it just me...

Here you go, rost495, someone to trade sniffing cornholes.

Thank you for showing your maturity level once again! I try to stay out of personal arguments on here but you are such a jackass it's hard not to with you.

To this day my father will not buy anything Japanese. I asked him why. His response: "They tried to kill me everyday for 4 years".
Some grudges have merit.

I don't think Bill Ruger tried to kill rastafarian495, he just hurt his mangina.

I don't often have to go to the dictionary, but "mangina" made me do so. Unfortunately, neither the big Oxford dictionary on the dictionary stand nor the dictionary embedded in my iMac software yielded a definition. Can you enlighten me? Gracias, amigo.

From the urban dictionary:

"Derisive term for a man's feminine side - especially when he's picky, touchy or emotional about something seemingly minor."
