Giving up some Rugers

[contender]

Well, I may have to start giving up several Rugers. Why you ask?

Well, yesterday,, I had a friend over who had a few SA's in a few different calibers,, made by BFR. With all the hoopla over QC at Ruger,, my constant defending them against the folks who fail to appreciate the mass manufacturing concept, and the very low percentage of actual problems with Rugers has finally worn me down. Especially when I handled these BFR's!
Better balance, great QC, more accurate, easier to shoot, and overall better guns!

Thoughts?

Nope

That's why prefer the older Rugers. Last new Ruger, SR 1911, bought in 2015, or so. Nothing wrong with it. Things changed after Bill passed away. 1st task was to stop Old Army's and the 77/50's. Give me the '50's - '80's.

The BFRs may be a "finer" gun, but they lack one essential characteristic. . . . they aren't Rugers! :eek:

To each his own I suppose, but this is, after all, Rugerforum! ;)

For competition go with the best, why handicap yourself.

BFR?

BFRs are just not something I enjoy looking at. Almost as ugly as a Glock to my eyes.

 

[rugerguy]

just another gun maker, with a catchy name , inference, BFR,and more comparison to what is what, Ford or Chevy and I have not had EITHER in many, many years, and they are NOT "cheap", meaning "affordable" to all too many of us, I'll keep my Rugers, they are just fine ..........Thank you....:cool::rolleyes:;)

 

[foxtrapper]

Gotcha! Folks look at the date!

 

[nekvermont]

OH BROTHER. Got me! Can't believe I fell for that. :rolleyes: :)

 

[Laserbait]

Not surprising, as the BFR's cost about $500 more (MSRP to MSRP), and today is April 1st! :D

April Fools!!

 

[HW11]

I figured that was coming.

[JAYDAWG]

April Fools!!

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :cool:

 

[contender]

I kinda figured a few folks wouldn't be fooled. But I also knew I'd get a few to fall for my prank!

Nope,, not giving up any Rugers here!

 

[TULLYMARS]

I feel Fooled.

[larry8]

I have no idea what the joke is.

 

[contender]

larry8,, many of the folks here know I'm a die-hard Ruger fan. The joke was that I would even consider getting rid of my Rugers in favor of something else.

And when I posted this thread,, NOBODY had attempted any form of April Fools joke. Plus,, I haven't tried to post one myself in several years either. So,,,,,, it was time for a little fun!

Google is your friend …..

 

[the_leper_colony]

FWIW, most folks own more than one brand. Of course, they're not what you would call "serious collectors".
:cool:

I pulled one on a friend from ROCS. I told him that the old American Rifleman and Gun Reports he had sent to me to send to him in England got recycled by mistake. He got the joke immediately.

Personally I think Heritage is better than all of them. Besides, they even have a safety!

[GypsmJim]
