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

 

[Redmt]

It reads like the predator will still be in production?

 

[Brad]

Bill Ruger just adjusted himself in his casket...

 

[Redmt]

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

 

[Southern Elk]

Does that leave anything other than cheap rifles in production?

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.

 

[Tradewind]

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.

 

[Wildabeest]

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.

I sure wish it wasn’t so expensive to put a carbon on a mark II

 

[Mallardsx2]

They went down a dark path when they started putting those god awful accutriggers in everything. It turned a lot of people off because they felt a bit to "savagey".

I own a couple of All Weather 77/22's, a 10/22, and an early 1980's Security Six (Stainless 4").

I used to be heavily into M77's and M77 MkII's but switched over the Winchester M70's in the early 90's with the advent of their CRF offerings, then later to Kimber's in the early 2000's with their CRF offerings.

While a bit rough, Ruger investment cast rifles are incredibly rugged, and if I lived off the land in the sub arctic I'd probably want a Stainless 30-06 or 308. But I don't

 

[MTLabrador]

That’s too bad, I really liked their revolvers and the old 77s. I have a 77 tang safety, GP100, super blackhawk and single six. Pour one out for the good old Rugers.

Someone better buy the GP100 @WNC2500 has for sale before he raises the price. He should anyways.
