Ruger Discontinues many models

[jbseamus83]

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

I would be all over it if it was the 4 inch version. Not sure I want the 6 inch though.

With all of the handwringing over gas and grocery prices, are firearms still flying off of the racks?

On another forum someone claimed Rugar plans to bring back most of these models. They are trying to sell off inventory of other models. Whether this is accurate information or not I cannot say.

The bankers, wall street, and lawyers have about milked the last dollar out of it.

Since Bill died it's been all lawyers and accountants at Ruger.
Once the most Joe Everyman company on earth.

All my Rugers came to me as ugly ducklings that cleaned up VERY well if you gave them love.

This is how the world ends.

My husband has a Hawkeye in 7mm. It’s a great rifle and this announcement made me a little sad.

Never know.....you might

Well let’s be rational. The SP101 and the GP100 have shelf lives somewhere between 500k and 1M rounds before they remotely need a rebuild.

So yeah, they’ve saturated the market with enough hardware to last several millennia.

It’s no wonder they are scaling back some production.

That's immediately where my mind went also. Where as everyone is going to need another American in 5-10 years.

I'm glad I bought this Hawkeye Compact last winter while they were still available.

Agreed.

I'll never wear out my GP100. I have 40 more rounds out of 100 of some old Winchester 180 grain Silver Tips. Its gotten about 200 rounds of full load 158 XTP's, and a lot of 38 special. Going forward, I'll mostly load 125 grain in .357 at moderate pressures. It will eat a lot of those before I run into problems.

Even my LCP. The life before stuff starts to wear is 1500. I have 500 down the bore and shoot about 60 a year currently.

My 10/22 is turning into a project anyway.

Too bad I have a ruger 77 in 338 win mag and I love that gun

Got a m77 Hawkeye in 338. Gave away my redhawk 44 4inch when I left Alaska and recently sold my sp101. Maybe I should have held on to those wheel guns
