5.5 Stainless 17 HMR Single Six

[Axehandle]

You guys get the word? All second hand information so don't ask me for any more details..... I heard that Lipsey's has 5.5 inch stainless Single Sixes in 17 HMR... Something about an odd ball 72 piece run.... Sounds like an instant collectors piece huh? When my "Shooter" version gets here I'll post the real details and pics...

I called my dealer to have them order one of the 5.5-inch guns as I already have a blued 6.5-inch 17HMR and I can't afford to buy both the 5.5 and 6.5 right now. My dealer is charging me $419.00 for the 5.5-inch gun and the order was confirmed and the gun is on the way!

THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!!!!

EDIT, so NEW they are not on Ruger's site yet:

If the tale I heard about their only being 72 total of the little beasties is true they will never make Ruger's web site... Lipsey's has all of them...

Single Six COVERTABLE .17HMR? Convertable how? To what?

Are all current Ruger Single Sixes, Super?
Adjustable sites no longer make a Single Six Super?
All current Super Single Sixes are convertables regardless of # of supplied cylinders?
NR6-FL- is a Super Single Six because of two cylinders and regardless that sites are not adjustable.

I get confused easily and just looking to insure I can properly describe some of Ruger's new single action revolvers.

Thanks.

Davidson's has a listing for these also, but, like just about everything else, none in stock.

These clearly are not convertables, well unless mine comes with a 17 mach 2 cylinder too but if that happens I will buy more before I share that fact :wink:

With those different Ruger model numbers, looks like these are the real deal. But with Davidson's offering them also, I wonder if these are regular Ruger offerings...the NRA show started today.

Kinda funny, the guns are gone from Lipseys site already :wink:

I didn't save the images but I think this is the one they were using for the 5.5-inch gun...



Here is the pages at Davidson's site:

Single Six COVERTABLE .17HMR? Convertable how? To what?

Uh, to .17Mach II.

 

[djw54]

Hmmm. I wonder if they "jumped the gun". :roll:

I called my local shop yesterday; they couldn't pull up the dealer price, so had to call Lipseys. Their rep said it was an allocated item, and that he didn't receive any allocations.

It's a good thing (for my wallet) that it's not a convertible, or I'd have to have one. As it is, I really want one, but will have to wait.

 

[Quarterbore]

Funny, I called as soon as I saw this and my dealer called right away and was able to place the order and got word it should ship the same day. I will be anxious to get it.

My only problem is getting the will power to shoot it as I really want this as a walk around ground hog gun but if these may be a very limited run I may be tempted to keep it new in box and start shooting my blued 6.5-inch 17HMR Single Six.

 

[SATCOM]

CraigC,

Not according to this thread. That was my point, the .17MachII is not listed on any link to this thread or pasted data. However Ruger now lists Super Single Six in .17 HMR as CONVERTABLE but with only one cylinder.

I knew they were not converting to 0.177BB or such. Just looking for clarification of what is being offered.

[CraigC]

Well if it indeed IS a convertible, there is only one other cartridge for it to convert to. Your post indicated that you did not know what other cartridge it would convert to. Pardon me for not reading your mind.

 

[Axehandle]

Sounds like there might have been some truth in the total number manufactured as 72 huh...

Or they screwed up and added something else to their site and Ruger threatened to sue them if they didn't turn the entire site off. Note everything has been down all day:

[hutchman]

I tried to order one of these today and my dealer was told they do not exist ...... yet. I guess we'll see.

 

[Quarterbore]

Interesting indeed... I predict that I have a gun ordered that will be announced tomorrow and that it was not supposed to be out there yet :wink:

My dealer was able to order it and give me the price that I will owe after their mark up so I have little doubt the gun exists...

 

[chet15]

I think there will be a lot more than 72 of these. Sounds like regular production to me. Will know in a few minutes with Ruger's updated website.
