One I share. I have made it my goal not to buy a Ruger built after the death of Bill Ruger.Valman said:Look at the Ruger catalog -- the classic Rugers that we older guys know and love are fast disappearing, and most of them have now become collectibles. IMHO, the Wrangler sounded the death knell of The Old Man's ground-breaking ideas and his design genius. Others here have moaned about the bean counters and lawyers who run the business. But that's how businesses adapt to new realities and survive in new markets.
Just my stodgy old opinion...
I've made a couple exceptions. I foolishly sold all 3 of my early 10-22s so I bought a 50th aniv one that was cheap for the grandson. I bought a stainless No1 just to flesh out the collection of those.
My next sin may be a MKIV if I ever move to a free state since they are not available in CA.
