[/quote] Doesn't matter how good their engineers are when their execution and quality control absolutely sucks. I've seen more non functional abortions come out of Ruger boxes than any other major American firearm manufacturer. If anybody can fugg up a Marlin, it's Ruger.
Blackheart, I'm not sure what your issue is with Ruger, but if you don't like them, don't buy them. Simple as that. I've seen some real issues with every one of them at one time or another. They produce a hell of a lot of guns for no more issues than they've got. I don't know what your investment is in trying to talk someone else into whether or not they buy one. I've had a couple of hundred Rugers over the years and been very pleased with them.
