The Ruger Bearcat

[Fox Mike]

You really need to be careful when storing Bearcats. If left alone in the dark, they multiply!!
Good thing i really like them..

Some years back I wrote an article about that very thing. Just like rabbits, they multiply. I started with one alphabet gun and now I have, like you, a few more.

I only have two Alpha Cats.
Got one on GB just because I wanted an Alpha.
A couple years later at a local gun show, there was a New Model grey plastic bearcat box sitting on a table.
The guy told me it was NIB and opened it to show me. It was an Alpha Cat?
$400, so I brought it home.
I was quite surprised when I got home, I had just purchased F844 and the one I had was J844!!
What are the odds. I should have went and bought a lotto ticket that day, but I kinda felt like I had just
won.

Cheers,
JAYDAWG

That's a score!

You did win ...... Congrats to you !!

I absolutely adore mine. They are made to be small kit guns, not Target guns. They are small and that's why we love them.
... Mine is quite accurate too. I can put all six shots inside a playing card at 25 yd. That's good enough for what I'm asking it to do. I don't think you will regret it. Mine is the adjustable site model and after a nice action job it is a sweet little 22.

That is amazing accuracy and good shooting.

Thanks guys, sometimes you just get lucky!

It was funny, when I showed my wife she said " That's neat, you should collect all of the 844 alpha cats"
I told here I would work on it.............

[rugerguy]

hey its bad enough when you even "think" about the serial numbers before or after, for a consecutive set, so you got 23 more to go.......

 

[JAYDAWG]

so you got 23 more to go.......

Well, this should be easy................

As JAYDAWG said, sometimes you get lucky. I got a low three digit off Gunbroker for $325.00. Ya just have to keep looking.
