Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire "Ruger Collectors Forum" - A Suggestion

Not a collector, but I own ruger rifles and handguns at roughly a 5 to 1 ratio. I'm always interested in reading and learning more about them. So the answer is yes.

I like the idea also

Yes !

I’m an accumulator, not a collector, but I would be very pleased to see such a forum.

The world needs more Collector Forums.

I'm in.

Sounds good

I'm in.....

Many of my Rugers are towards the seldom seen side of the spectrum, so I'd be down for that.

+1 on the bear hunting forum. Or we can keep it a secret. Maybe that'd be better.

As for Rugers, how about a "Where do I send my Ruger pistol to make the damn thing work right" Forum? Maybe Ruger could spnsor it and provide postage paid labels? That'd sure nuff get some traffic. Sub-forums could be the Misfire Forum, the How to Stovepipe your Ruger Forum, the Learn How To Use Coarse Sights Forum, and the What the Hell Difference is There between the I, II, III, and IV forum? But the busiest would no doubt be the HTF Does this POS Ruger Go Back Together Forum.

Or how about a "Which Ruger 77's had bad barrels" forum so we can all get that straight in our head once and for all. Special subforum for 77 Hornet sadomasochists and Liberty model shot dispersion patterns.

Yeah, let's get a Ruger forum, right next to the popular Remington forum. LOL

You'll have to forgive me, I shot three Ruger 22 pistols today.

I have many Ruger rifles. I’d love to see this on AR!

LOL, Id be more interested in the bear hunting forum
Been watching guys run em with hounds on Youtube.
Not my cup of tea but dang the chase looks pretty fun.
Might have to give it a whirl.

Why not .... this is gun forum after all.

Surefire7 (and all the other civil posters): I think there would be enough interest by enough CampFirers to make this worthwhile for the site owners/moderators - I will give it another day or two and then will correspond to them regarding adding another forum (for Ruger Collectors/enthusiasts).
Thanks to all with the positive comments.
And for the few "negators" on this thread there's this - remember NO ONE would force you to have to click on a "Ruger Collectors" forum!
Sheesh
Hold into the wind

P.S.: Thanks all (even the negators - its good to know who's who)

"Ruger and His Guns' is a pretty good book on the Ruger offerings. There are also books on Ruger revolvers. As for putting the Ruger 22 simi-auto pistol back together, it's pretty simple if you know how.

I have that coffee table book somewhere.

Or you could just go here:

Absolutely yes

Uh oh, sounds like Santa put me on the bad list. LOL

VarmintGuy- I'd be glad to have a Ruger forum. I haven't had good luck with one yet but I do like their style and, bless my heart, I keep trying. Just yesterday someone posted about a Lipsey 77 in 35 Whelen and I got a little flutter. I still WANT to like a Ruger.

I had a Liberty model 77 in 250 Savage that I invested hundreds into restocking with a Lone Wolf synthetic stock and accurizing work and it never shot for crap. Loved the rifle, wanted to love it forever, but as they say, only the accurate rifles are interesting. If you buy a 77 you also run the chance of getting one with the crappy metallurgy that purples out on you, that's always fun. You can't give them away when they turn purple and nothing says "I've been had" quite like a Ruger rifle with a purple receiver. And we all know about the bad barrels, we just can't remember which years to avoid.

As I mentioned, yesterday I took out three Ruger 22 pistols to burn up some ammo. One was a Mk II heavy target barrel with the flared wood grips (love the fit of those grips). Another was a GP100 10 shot stainless revolver. The last was a Lipseys single Six with the Bisley frame.

I've got others too, but it's because I'm a slow learner. If I was smart I'd offload every Ruger I own and stick to things that work every time. It's almost like Ruger adopted the Taurus business model from Brazil. I wish they'd work better, because I do like their style.

So, I guess if my moderatedly educated opinion about Rugers may be tainted to your unliking, please forgive me, for I am but a jaded shooter with a masters in objectivity.
