I'm with Turfman, I like those little rifles. I own a 270 would like to see a 7mm-08 or 7x57. A hornet would be cool too.

:D   #3 in 6.5 WSM

#3 in .45 Colt

A 77-45 in .45 Colt (on 77-22 Hornet receiver) or a lever action .45 Colt.  Need these to accompany my Blackhawk and Vaquero in .45 Colt.

Stainless M77R in .35 Whelen or .35 WSM.

Heavy 30" octagon barrelled #1A's in .45-70 and .45-110 with option for flip up Creedmore Style Long-Range tang mounted fully adjustable rear sight, and good front sight to match it.

How about a limited production run, say one caliber per year (like the Rem 700 Classics), of #1's and M77's in the Ackley Improved calibers.  

I'd be happier than a pig in slop.   :-D

That Ruger made the Model 96 lever in .41 Mag and the SBH in .41 mag.
Offer the .358 Win and the 35 Whelen in the M77 stainless Laminated.
I'll think of something else if I get these!

Ruger 77 in 338-.06.. and a 6.5-.06 would be nice also.

A GP 100 in 44 mag with a 4 inch barrel and most importantly, start putting man sized stocks on there rifles. IE 10/22 save me the 60 bucks on an after market stock, the deerfield 44 mag, can't find an aftermarket stock for this one even called Ruger and they don't know of anyone who makes one. And yes ofcourse the mini and ranch rifles. Does anyone else buy one of these, see if it shoots well, and then go out immediately and purahase another stock. Its kinda like making a pistol that is great----but the mags don't work, buy the wilsons at 30 dollars a pop.  :evil:

Hey spinafish,  

That 6.5-06 sounds good. I thought about the 338-06 but I already have a 35 Whelen. Both are fine cartridges.

Gotta have:

Number 3 in 32-40, 30-30, 32 Win special, 38-55, 35-30/30, 358 winchester, 357 max, 444 rem or any other good medium bore cast bullet caliber for informal target and hunting!!

Just my opinion,

Single Six in .38 Special
« Reply #39 on: February 13, 2003, 07:39:26 AM »
I love my Super Single Six, and my Blackhawk .45 Convertable, but what would really be great is a Single Six chambered for .38 special.  Not the full sized blackhawk frame, but the single six frame like they have on the .32HR mag.

It would be best if they could squeeze in 6 rounds, but if not, then 5 would do.  I think a light single action .38 special with a 4 5/8 barrel would be the sweetest woods gun around.

I think the hawkeye would be a good choice for several reasons.
It came out before handgun hunting was as popular as it is now.
It only came out in one caliber-alot more could be chambered nowadays.
It could have the ruger factory scope setup.
Without question it was ahead of its time. 8)

One other thing is I wish Ruger had brought out their M77 Magnum in .450 Rigby instead of just adding the .458 Lott to their line.  This way you would have near .460 Weatherby ballistics' with less operating pressures.  Around 48,000 psi for the Rigby and over 60,000 psi for the Weatherby.  Lawdog

I wish Ruger would chamber the M77 RSI in 260 and 7mm08.The gold label in 16 ga with 26" barrels.I also with they had the brains to change the grip frame on the Redhawk to the same configuration as the SRH and GP100.A 5" barreled Redhawk in 45 LC with grips that fit my small mits would be great.

I'd like to see a Ruger #1 in some of the black powder calibers, like 40-65, 45-90, 32-40, 50-70, and 50-90, with full octagon barrels. Move the safety off the tang so a tang sight could be mounted. And the Old Army pistol in a 5" barrel

I would like to see them produce a 10/22 rifle chambered in .22WMR that has a heavy target barrel much like that on the current 10/22T .22LR

I'm glad that they brought out the 10/22RBM but I'm waiting for a target model now  :-D

I wish Ruger made a large 77 style action for big cartridges
« Reply #51 on: March 10, 2003, 02:07:57 PM »
Big enough for BMG and 600-700 NE, also for BMG wildcats
and derivitives.Need a 8.2 inch diameter bolt, and 5.5 inch stroke,
with a 1.25 in barrel thread.Ruger builds strong 77's , as I  can
attest to as I screwed up once with my 458 wildcat and shot a
load out weighing 3300 grains at 1500 fps, generating 150,000 psi
and action stayed together.Brass didn't blow out.Brass expanded and locked up bolt,We took barrel and brass out with lathe, and rebarreled
after testing reciever and it works great.We had longer barrel there at the time planning to change to test cartridge with  a   longer barrel ,so only
a couple days were lost.A big action in 77 style would sell like hotcakes,
and it would be the most affordable as they use investment casting
process which save big bucks.Ed.

I would like Ruger to make the 77/44 in .357 Maximum.  It would make a dandy woods rifle that is light and low recoiling and one could use the NECG peep sight and really make it sweet. And while we are on the 77/44 action why not make it in .223 also.

I'd like to see a 6" full lug SS GP-100 chambered for .22LR with a 9 shot cylinder and a target crown barrel.  Man that would make one heck of a shooter!  reakin

Guns I Wish Ruger Made
« Reply #55 on: June 14, 2003, 03:44:35 PM »
I wish Ruger made:
- 4" Stainless Steel 44 Magnum much like the S&W Mountain Gun.
- 12 Gauge Defense Shotgun with 18.5" barrel.
- Lever Action Rifles with HAMMERS, I just like 'em, what can I say?
- A 10 Round Mag for the 44 Magnum Carbine.
- A Mark II semi-auto pistol in 22 Magnum.
- A HI-CAP mag for the Mark II (bans over next year!).
- A small easy to conceil Mark II semi-auto pistol with hi-cap mag.

Dream On...

Dreams_of_Guns,

I wouldn't hold my breath on the ban ending next year.  Pres. Bush has come out in favor of it.  I too would like to see a Mark II in .22 WMR and would be first in line to purchase one.  Lawdog

Jeff Vicars,

Pretty, mighty pretty.  Just think what all that nasty black powder is going to do to it or how it is going to make it look.

Frog123,

If you just add a few after market items to a Mini 14 they shoot great.  Will only dent your wallet to about $500.  ARS will gladly do the work for you.   :-D   Lawdog
