Back in 1992, I bought a Ruger M77 in a skeletonized stock. 7mm Mag. At the same time my brother bought a a Winchester Classic Stainless in .308 in a walnut stock.

After shooting his and hunting that year, I was determined to get a walnut stock so I bought a M77 stock from Ruger and traded out the stock. I trashed the skeletonized one….nobody wants that piece of junk. I literally tossed it in the trash.

IMO, I had the first SS in M77 in Walnut from Ruger, 2 years later they offered it in that version. Am I wrong?

Years ago I had a friend who worked for Smith and Wesson for a time. She told me she (and everyone else who worked there) had been asked for ideas for new products. I gave her a list of 5. One was a small single stack 9mm pistol, another was an AR in 22lr.

A few years later the M&P Shield and M&P 15/22 we're introduced.

I realize that my ideas were never seen by a decision maker, but I thought I had a finger on the pulse of the market.

I'm not sure what my other 3 ideas were, except maybe one was a 22 bolt action that would take 10/22 barrels. Maybe a 5 shot 44 magnum, L frame sized.

I didn’t start a trend but I sold a boat load of those Ruger paddles back in the day. I believe they were less than 300.00.
