Ruger price increase?

[Tallbald]

A shop in E-town KY told me that Ruger just had a price increase but didn't know how much. What's the scoop? Thanks, Don

It's called inflation! Happens continually and has for years, decades... As raw materials and labor costs go up, so must the end result.

Ive been watching the catalog for a while now and it has always seemed like Ruger has an MSR price increase by roughly 8% every January. Nothing new.

every year at this time the SHOT show is the shooting outdoor sports version of the SEMA, or Detroit auto show and at this time all the manufacturers introduce new models, typically the new catalogs come out and any price increases come into play. The show is in Las Vegas this year though it has been at other locations. If you ever have a chance to attend it is quite as show. fyi sa

I see that the blued Blackhawks went up $11 wholesale sometime in the past week or so. This should make about a $13 increase on the retail end if your dealer prices his items the way mine does.
