Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Ruger Confounds Logic Sometimes

I foresee the stainless version being Ruger's best selling centerfire rifle.

You and me both buddy...I think they will sell like hotcakes if they keep prices low enough. When they hit the streets, I'll be checking them out and may end up buying one just for chits and giggles...

The rifle with a Redfield seems a good idea. I have never been comfortable with no-name or blister pack scopes. But I would feel pretty confidant recommending the RAR/Redfield combo to a new hunter.

I've a few on order with the LGS. $386 on the stainless. They currently sell the blued version for $331.

First RAR I ever laid eyes on, was won over a year and a half ago by a woman at a sportsmen's gathering I was at. Picked it up, handled it a bit and pronounced it fugly, but probably serviceable. Didn't like it enough to buy any of the raffle tickets, tho.

Her boyfriend later reported that he'd mounted a scope, took it to the range with ammo loaded for his own 308 and was amazed at how accurate the American was.

He didn't like the trigger at first, got used to it and now thinks it's great. Don't know if she's ever gotten to hunt with it yet, or not? Think he copped it for hisself.

It's better off with him. Three years ago she somehow lost the follower from her M70 during bear season.

BobinNH is one of just a handful of guys that really makes the Campfire worth reading. JB is another. If all it consisted of was you and Boxer practicing namecalling and cussing I would have found a different site long already.

Travis,

I had the flattop .44 Special in mind when mentioning special Lipsey's runs that became regular items!

Their other special runs have usually sold out quickly too.

JB is the primary reason I started lurking on this site and joined. I still enjoy his readings and shared knowledge here and in print.

Bob is a different story. I envision someone who practices law, long in the tooth and has been up the mountain a few times. He's defensive, long winded and objects strongly when others don't share his opinion.

Just my take. As in life, we're all not expected to agree and share common opinions.

Good on you to stand up for Bobin. He's an asset to the forum as far as I'm concerned. I have enjoyed the heck out of his writings and appreciate his experience as well. Top notch guy as far as I'm concerned!!

sas: Been more than a few....at least I have manged to extend myself beyond my home state "a few times"

I have a lot of respect for other's opinions, if I think they know what they are talking about. Some here qualify,some don't.

You don't.

Neither,BTW,does Steelhead.

If I disagree with something, I will say "why"...if you can't handle that, you have an ignore button. Suggest you use it

It's funny because folks howled about those for so long, so when they came out I grabbed one immediately. Guess everybody else did too.

One of the (if not THE) most accurate revolvers I've ever owned by the way.




Travis

For real? Who is he? He deserves a heartfelt GFY.



Travis

You're another one I should have included in that list BSA, I feel your an asset around here too!

Tea sucks. In America we drink coffee. Because this is America.

As far as those Americans are concerned, I'm going to guess that Ruger will end up selling about 5 bajillion of the ones chambered in 22LR.


Travis

JFC. Why don't you buy them a drink while you're at it?



Travis

I'd buy you a drink if you weren't such a butt hole.


And shot a .17...

Logistics prevent it.

No skin off my back Bob. I'm a big boy.

My apologies are for talking this thread off track.

17's suck. Pass the 22 mag please and make it an American

Have to take you to task there. I like my .17 HMR so much that I sold my .22 mag.
