New Ruger Single Action .22 MSRP $250

[JHB]

I just read on the Ruger forum the frame is aluminum the grip frame is a zink alloy. If the grip frame was aluminum or polymer I would buy one. Pot metal no thank you.

The K model Colt Scouts were made of pot metal, still good 22lr shooters. Other Scouts had a 22 mag cylinder.

if rk sells them for 129, that'll be a loss leader for sure!...dealer cost is 149(for the ruger), and dealer cost for the equivalent heritage is 109 but the heritage has coco bolo grips vs plastic on the ruger

if ruger ends up making a 22lr/22 mag combo, they wont be able to keep them in stock!

The Heritage Arms Rough Rider (Zinc) series has owned the inexpensive 22 SA market for quite sometime...I think this Ruger will give them a run for their money and will be well received...What a wonderful, "kit, truck, camp, tackle box" gun....I like the idea...Fixed sights like on the old single six...well done Ruger....

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have this terrible 22 addiction, and a Ruger at this price, see a set of triplets being brought into the fold!!

I wondered why it says it's not legal in Minnesota. Apparently it qualifies as a "Saturday Night Special.

I think this might be Minnesota's legal issue with the Wrangler:

"It is a gross misdemeanor for a federally licensed firearms dealer to sell or for any person to manufacture or assemble, in whole or in part, a 'Saturday night special' pistol.

A 'Saturday night special' pistol means any pistol (other than an antique firearm, air gun, or toy gun) that is made of any of the following materials:

< any material having a melting point of less than 1,000
degrees Fahrenheit;

< any material having an ultimate tensile strength of less
than 55,000 pounds per square inch; or

< any powdered metal having a density of less than 7.5
grams per cubic centimeter."

Minn. Stat. §§ 624.712; 624.716

Preorder at sportsman's for $199 / free s&h...

fair enough but i'd love ruger to have a quality 9-shot revolver

Don't they make a Single-Ten? You get an extra hole for your money.

 

[AGarbers]

The six-shot design may be for the youth cowboy-action shooting buyers. Ruger is highly popular with CAS folks, like me.

Nice review....

Free spin pawl and it looks as if the grip frame is the same alloy as the frame...Barrel and cylinder are steel along with the internals....They're going to sell of ton of these...

So this will be another pile of junk?

 

[Usmccookie]

That's just rude, yet I can't help but laugh hysterically.

I have a strong feeling that one of these will be joining the fold once they start appearing in the wild; especially if street price is around $200. Would love a single-six, but can't justify the cost. I have considered a Heritage, but was worried I'd be disappointed in the overall quality. This looks like it splits the difference quite well.

Heh. My single-six was less than that brand new.


(Of course, that was 1987)

 

[JHB]

I bought mine in 1973 for $125.00.

 

[chipbennett]

I'll be buying one as a good way to introduce my girls to handguns. (So far they have only shot rifle.)

 

[Principal Skinr]

I sold a nice single six and regret it. I'll be picking up a Bronze Wrangler when they come out, if I can get it for 200 bucks, which I think is likely. They'll certainly have them to handle at the Ruger display at NRA this weekend.

 

[Farmerjon]

Talked to Ross at Guntown last night, he looked them up and said they would be 199 plus tax, told him get me one of each. He was going to make some calls today to see when he could get them in as they are being held close to the vest at this time.

 

[flightsimmer]

When has Ruger ever made a pile of junk revolver? Made to Ruger standards, simply means made to Ruger standards. Why read into it something that is not there?

Well, uh, uh, because that's what the mainstream media does isn't it?

 

[singlesix]

It will be a piece of junk. Nobody buy one for awhile
