Sounds like they won’t have many models left in production. 10/22 and a few others, I guess

It reads like the predator will still be in production?

Bill Ruger just adjusted himself in his casket...

 

[Redmt]

If I read it right the value of my #1's went up.

Does that leave anything other than cheap rifles in production?

No

Edit. I have a Connecticut .357 GP100, LCP and 10/22 takedown.

I like them all.

Sh!t. I've wanted a GP100 and have never invested in one. This is just gonna drive the prices up.

Sorry to see it. Appears Gen X and forward don't care for those old revolvers
and you old folks aren't buying enough of them

 

[SFC B]

Just....wow. Some I can see, like the M77, the 1911 and a few of the more obscure revolvers but .......

 

[Redmt]

Cheap rifles? I'll put my Predator up against any of the Ruger "high end" rifles any day of the week.

Dang the Ruger Redhawk 44 mag, 5.5" barrel, is one of the best looking revolvers to me. At least I will be able to find it used down the road.

Bummer. Surprised about the Redhawks - they seemed pretty popular.

I’ve got 2 Rugers. An SR45 that I’d sell in a heartbeat since all of my semi-autos are now M&P’s. And a Single Six revolver with cylinders for both 22LR and 22WMR that was my dad’s that I’ll never part with.
