More talk of adjustable sight bearcat

I'll buy one!

Don't hold your breath for one any time soon!

John with a brand new adjustable sight Bearcat presented to him by Ruger..

Here's a picture of John Taffin with the first one, presented to him by Ruger.

From what I heard,,, that was a "special" job just for John.

From the Taffin dinner "Ken Jorgensen from Ruger was there and presented John with the first Bearcat with adjustable sights. I am under the impression that Ruger is going to start selling the Bearcat with the choice of fixed or adjustable sights."

Yeah, saw that on the Reeder site. Interesting, for sure.

Looks like a "scaled down" Single-Six.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

LOOKING FOR THE PICS.

John Taffin posted it will be ready in a month!

So....

If we look at the big picture...

The "Single Six" is no more, resigned to using that frame for 9 and 10 shot cylinders...

The Bearcat will be the new "Rimfire Frame" six-shooter...

I suppose it makes sense. I've loved a Bearcat as a trapline revolver for a long time, for as far as it can shoot, I've never felt I needed adjustable sights. I suppose I'd rather have a "Rimfire Frame" 6 shot Bearcat (or Bearcat Mag) with a 4.5" barrel than a Single 6 4 5/8"...

I'm REALLY wishing they'd have used the old SP101 adjustable sight instead of the GP100/RH/SRH/BH/SBH style...

"The "Single Six" is no more, resigned to using that frame for 9 and 10 shot cylinders..."


Well, I guess we'll see . . .

Now Ruger just needs to chamber it in a 5 shot .327 FM.

Okay that would be a homerun if john with lipsey's would push it could happen. What better way to teach a youth safe handling of a revolver. Wow make that happen. Just like the .44 special everyone wanted for years. IMHO Bob

I would buy one.

I'd like one. But I have an old model I paid $275 for. So unless I can get a new one for $275....

Hope they can come up with some distinctive nomenclature for it.

Stay tuned guys.....

Cool little Ruger!

I hope it's priced pretty much like the standard bearcat not some "exclusive, limited edition, select distributer, etc, etc" model.
