Ruger is an incredible company.
This will only be good for Marlin and gun nuts.
This. I hope that they decide to manufacture the 39A and are able to hold the cost down a little with their more modern approach to manufacturing, if they do I will be one of the first to buy one. Drug my feet too long in the past to get one. The lever guns should go hand in hand with their single action revolvers. I've probably had better luck with Ruger quality control as I've had with Kimber, Remington (the worst) or Winchester ( not the present company).
I like Ruger. So there’s that...
But a high QC, highly finished complex manufactured lever right isn’t exactly what Ruger has been moving towards.
They don’t even make a wood/blued 77/Hawkeye anymore other than the African limited offerings. Same for 77/22. They’ve figured out they can sell a bunch of entry label poorly finished guns and make more money than selling a single better finished gun.
