Photos From 6th Annual Ruger Display Show In Boise Idaho

[lovemydals]

The following photos are from the 6th Annual Ruger Collectors Display Show in Bosie Idaho, January 10 & 11,2015.

First & foremost, I must give public acknowledgement to Hank & Susan Green for their hard work with this year's show! There is a lot of "behind the scenes" work that takes place long before the show weekend arrives that we the displayers don't see. As in past years, another successful show!

This year we had eleven displays presented by seven displayers (two were first time displayers) traveling from California, Utah & various locations in Idaho judged under Ruger Owners & Collectors Society (ROCS) judging rules, People's Choice Award & the show promoter.

Following are the top winners for each category;

Under Ruger Owners & Collectors Society (ROCS) judging rules, top honors went to the following;

1st place Novice Class went to "Steve's Favorites" display presented by Steven Joel A







There were no Intermediate Class displays

1st place Advance Class was a tie between two outstanding displays;

"Special Vaquero's" display presented by circlergrugers (Hank G)







"White Box Super Blackhawks 1960-1961" display presented by SteveRuger (Steve A), which was awarded ROCS Best in Show after the tie breaker







Best Ruger of Show (BROS) award went to the Super Single Six with the experimental sand blast finish presented by ubme (Shawn L). A very rare Super Single Six!

I'm hoping that I covered all eleven displays. Just in case I didn't, I apologize in advance.

A really big THANK YOU goes to Hank & Susan G for their effort to make this show a reality. Also, the displayers deserve acknowledgement as well. I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to next years show.

Enjoy everyone!

My vote goes to BearPawJack. He went and put up his display against the veterans. A tip of the hat to Marlin!

Keep a close eye on those Speed Sixes or hittman will have a display next year :wink:

Great pics, lovemydals!

Congratulations to all the displayers!
It is apparent that a lot of thought and hard work went into those displays.

My favorite was Shawn's Sand Blast Finish Single-Six.....A one gun display in its self... :wink: .

Thanks for sharing.

Another great report about a really nice bunch of displays. Hank & Suzie were at SHOT & we were able to visit a few minutes. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to get back with them. They do a heck of a job.
I see some really nice items, and stuff not often seen. Kudos to all the displayers!

Some great stuff! Thank you!

I still find myself more excited about the "stuff", the memorabilia and non-firearms, than the guns themselves.

Congrats on a great show! Thanks for the pics. Very nice!

Thank you for taking time to share and congratulations to all the winners. Every one of them was a nice display. If there is a "hodge podge - no rhyme or reason" category I might could enter!!

There is your title! Hodge Podge-No Rhyme or Reason. All you have to do is your writeup and tell a story! Bring your Rugers, too!
