I came up with something, but unfortunately the Ruger tell the CEO feature isn’t up right now. I’d like to see Ruger resurrect the 96 lever action, stretch it slightly and maintain the detachable rotary mag. Bring it out in .223, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC .300 Blackout or 7.62x39mm, .450 Bushmaster and maybe .350 Legend. I know that the BLR and various .30-30 levers cover this part of the market, but I’m sure I’m not the only guy who’d be interested in a handy mag fed carbine that would work from varmints to deer. Any thoughts?

The stock ergs on the 96 didn't work for me, so I wouldn't buy one even if they were chambered for a cartridge that I cared to own a lever gun in.

A run of stainless 44 magnum carbines is what they need to focus on IMO.

A run of 300 H&H on a stretched 77. Stainless wood preferably..
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

I think a Ruger #1 blue/walnut carbine in 35 REM would be cool.

I could like the idea. Kinda a modern m99.

A Ruger 1A or 1 RSI that started life as a 5 3/4-6 lbs rifle. I love the Number 1; just don't want the "heft" anymore. I weighed a Number 1 RSI .243= 9.2 lbs. Nope.

I've wondered if they would ever do a light-sporter or smaller contour stainless version with a carbon 2 piece stock for it. It would be an interesting piece if they would.

The American in some cool chamberings...... .257 Roberts, 7x57, .358 Win & .35 Whelen, 9.3x62,.... will never happen because the “standard” and popular chamberings cover the overlapping ballistics..

A stainless version of the American Predator, in a lightened gray/black laminate with higher comb. AICS mags.

Any thoughts? The American already pretty well covers that "niche". Those want to miss faster than they can with a bolt gun have ARs available for all those rounds. I'd like to see them use the current slow market period to re-train and maybe re-tool to improve quality. Henry makes a bunch of semi-oddball leverguns too. They're fugglier than Kathy Griffin and Robert DeNiro's love-child, but somebody's buying them.

How about a Hawkeye 77 with an oil finished walnut stock, ebony fore end, steel grip cap, steel bottom metal (without the Ruger logo), and polished bluing. Offer it with and without open sights. Along with the standard chamberings, chamber it in rounds like the 222 Rem, 220 Swift, 6mm Rem, 250 Savage, 257 Roberts, 6 X 55, and 7 X 57 to name a few. I’m sure they wouldn’t sell that well due to the popularity of ugly rifles, but I’d do my best to buy 3 or 4 before they stopped production.

Find ways to improve your guns.
Maybe try to properly chamber your handgun cylinders.
It is about time.
Look at the services offered by gunsmiths that
target your products. Try to fix those issues in production.
