Carry-on.

Given the latter are all better than the former isn't that natural?

I'm not anti-ruger at all. I like the Blackhawk and the American for what it costs is a great value. I fact I'd buy another American, but I would not buy another boat anchor 77.



I've seen multiple threads from you, where you sht on Ruger. Last one, was when folks were excited for the Ruger aquisition of marlin.

So a cast 77 receiver no good in your world, but cast parts on a revolver are ok? What the fk kinda logic is that?

Anyhoo, based on my experiences with many Ruger revolvers, they are just as effective, reliable, and useful to Alaskans, as the Ruger 77's:

The Blackhawks are much more visually pleasing and better finished than the 77.
