Gotta laugh.
They build a gun that no one wants, it doesn't sell all that well.
They end up at a clearance place at fire sale prices.
Then they are gone.
And someone notices "you know, they only made so many of them".
Suddenly, that ugly, weird, or oddball, is "exotic" and better than sex!
And the object of desire.
People are nucking futts! I remember seeing gun racks full of those things... nobody wanted them.... you could buy one all day long for $350 and if you could just wait they sold brand new for even less.. I have one in a .22 mag... a short search on gun broker.com and the current value is just nuts... I love that gun.
Well... we have come to the point.... where... the parasites are killing the host. It's only a matter of time now.
They only win.... when they cheat.

That's when i got my first - when they were sitting on the shelves gathering dust. 2003 manufacture purchased in December of 2004, .300WM for $375. It has been a great rifle.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I have one in 7 Rem mag and my friend has one in 300 win. The 300 win has quite a bit heavier barrel contour on it than my 7 mm. I much prefer the balance of my 7mm. I need a SA boat paddle stock to put a different stainless 22" 7 wsm I have in. It's currently in the wood laminate it came in.

Use to have about a dozen of the boat paddle stocks....
just gave them away, one at a time, long before I knew people liked them...
all the rifles that they were taken off of, ended up with Boyd's Laminate Stocks...
Got two left... both still on rifles...

I bought a stainless MKII 243 in '92 or '93. I intended to put a laminate stock on it. Son "High Brass" bought a late MKII stainless 308 with a brown Hawkeye laminate stock and wanted to trade stocks which I did. His best friend Ryan "RYE77" has his rifle now and wanted a laminate stock so we traded stocks. The laminate stock is better looking but those butt ugly boat paddles sure are solid and functional.

I’ve got two boat paddles, but they are put away in boxes. I ordered two Hawkeye synthetics and replaced the ugly assed BP’s on both. No, they are not for sale. If I ever sell the rifles, they will go back on, but that is unlikely. (Maybe my heirs)
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

My stainless .30-06 came in a nutmeg laminate factory stock. Nice looking. First thing I did to it was replace the stock with a take-off .270 Win stock, Better.

Sorry fans, but they do nothing for me. They might be practical but I don’t want one.

The whole premise of this thread has me confused? how can you abuse a Ruger boat paddle?
Maybe throw it into the ocean? drive your truck over it? even after that they will prolly still function fine...
