    Ruger Model 77 "American Express" version

    Sometime ago posted that I had acquired one of these rifles in caliber 30-06 caliber new condition for it had never been shot by the original owner. Had no plans on selling it so decided I would shoot it for its first time at my local range. Original owner and I go there on a regular basis...

    1894 Ruger / Marlin Buttstocks

    Can't say that I know for sure but would imagine to be the same buttstock for either rifle. Give Ruger a call.

    Bring the pain!

    Some years ago, became fascinated with the Ruger RSM Mod 77 rifle and bought two of them, one 375H&H and one in 458 Lott calibers. Familiar with the 375 H&H for carried one while living in Alaska for a few years but the 458 Lott was a new caliber for me. Both rifles were beautiful in all...

    Ruger No 3 45/70 pickup

    I am a big fan of the NO 3 but the recoil is definitely on the heavy side with 45/70/405 loads and eventually replaced it with a heavier barrel to help in that department. Had Douglas make me the 45 70 barrel and another barrel in 6BR which is the proverbial "tack driver. Only part change was...

    Ruger No. 3 Re-barrel Gunsmith issue

    Sometime ago had my No 1 & 3 fitted with new barrels by Douglas Barrel Co. here in West Virginia. As for extractors purchased two for the caliber 348 and 6mmBR from Browells. All of these jobs were done several years ago and whether Brownell's still sells Ruger parts for the No 1 & 3 I do not...

    Real world reliability of the AR-556?

    As stated above I have not had any problems with AR's I have built over the past 30+ years or so and find them to be quite accurate as a rule so to speak. Most recent upper I put together was with a Douglas 18" 7 twist barrel, same as the military uses for their SPR MK 12 MOD 0 rifle and it...

    Ruger rifles I want.

    I often wondered why Ruger did not offer the NO. 1 in the 348 Win. caliber and took my No 1 to Douglas and they made me a barrel chambered in the 348 Win. so now I have one. Lived in Alaska for some years and had a Win. Model 71 348 and always felt very comfortable with it in the bush for...

    Real world reliability of the AR-556?

    I have a Ruger SR 556 (piston driven) and an upper for a clone of a SPR Mk 12 mod 0 (gas impingement system) and an upper for matches built by Compass Lake Eng. which I used while taking place in XC matches. Have therefore two lowers, one being Ruger and other being LRB lower and upper for the...

    AR-556 MPR questions???

    I have been under the impression that Ruger manufacturers all of their components these days. Perhaps I am wrong about that idea, but Ruger is well known for producing very good firearms at a reasonable price.

    Ruger #1

    Purchased a NO 1 some years ago at a gun show and it was in a battered condition, rough if you will, and had 22/250 barrel installed and re blued the action and barrel and refinished the wood on it as well. Shoots very well with the Douglas barrel and the 80 and 90 grain bullets for the twist...

    Figured it was time for a PCC

    I purchased the Ruger when they were first announced and glad I did. Also fan of Glocks and have numerous magazines which fit just fine as well. I know Ruger offers versions of the carbine that have hand guards that resemble those on the various AR rifles, but the fact that this basic Ruger PC...

    Vortex VS Leupold red dot for PC Carbine?

    Sometime ago switched to EOtech sight and find it to be a very fine addition to any rifle I put it on, and it is definitely made in America and is of very high quality.
