It would be great if Ruger brought the 39A back and did it right. Time will only tell. Where is the info on who got what? Just curious is all as I hadn’t read anything anywhere prior to this.


Ruger no longer makes their 77/22 walnut/blued.

For center fires you can’t buy a 77/Hawkeye in wood/blued, only wood/stainless/threaded.

They’ve gone big on RAR plastic price point stuff.

Red Label shotguns are long gone.

#1s are ultra limited production.

Does that bode well for a 39 reappearance?


Not when you put it like that but the one hope might be as someone else posted the marlin 39a would seem like a natural fit with the Ruger Single-Six and Bearcat. I’d feel better about it though if Bill Ruger we’re still around. It’s going to be interesting to see what Ruger/Marlin come up with.
