I just bought a limited edition Ruger. It's a stainless 5.5 inch Bisley in .45 Colt! It's a beaut. I bought 300 rounds of Cabela's 255 grain cowboy loads (for reloading brass) and will hit the range next weekend...after all this graduation crap gets over with.

Speaking of new Rugers - go to the Ruger web site and you will see that the word accurate is never mentioned with the semi-autos. I own 4 Rugers and before my Mini-14 I liked the company. The Mini left a bad taste in my mouth. My M1 easily outshoots it with mil sights. My Ruger history..

Vintage #77 in 25-06 - Great Rifle -got it when I was 15 - 22 years ago.
.44 Mag Redhawk(not super) in blue - fun, smooth, very accurate
P89 in 9mm - not bad - does the job - never jams.
Mini-14 Ranch - stinks up the gun cabinet it shoots so bad.

I am really fond of Rugers. I started with a Single Six back in the early '70's. Went from there to a SS Security Six that I traded to get a Super Blackhawk with the 10 inch tube, that I sold to get a SS SBH with a 5.5 inch barrel. Somewhere in amongst that time I acquired a 10/22. Two years ago my wife got me a convertible Blackhawk with a 5.5 inch barrel in .45 Colt with the .45acp cylinder. Last weekend I got a #1B standard in 30/06. I think I see a .480 SRH in my future..... :lol:

I got one of those SS Bisley BHs in .45 Colt with a 5.5" barrel. I'm pretty sure that (except for the lawyer-proof trigger pull) I couldn't be any happier...unless I had two of them. :wink:

I keep hearing "Special edition" and "Limited run" associated with this pistol, which I have to admit is one of the things that drew me to it (effective marketing)...but it sure seems like a lot of folks have them. Ruger told me that they were made for Accu-Tech (if I remember correctly...I did this research last fall), but they couldn't tell me if the run was 1,000 or 3,000. I called Accu-Tech, and got basically the same answer. Does anyone have good skinny on how many of these things were actually made?

Accu tech is correct. When I found mine {after considerable searching} I thought I had read only 5000 were made. The dealer I got it from said 2500. Either way not a whole lot. Of course that really only matters if you decide to sell it. Im keeping mine!

Sorry for the bum info, its accu-sport not accu tech. Heres a link, but still doesn't give numbers.

:grin: I love my Rugers also, I have the New Model Blackhawk in .41 mag and 2 MKII .22's, a SP101 .357, M77 MKII compact rifle in .243, a 10/22, and of course a mini-14 which as another person stated isn't very accurate but a blast to shoot. I would like to own one of those carbine rifles in .40 cal.

Woopes, forgot to add my Super Redhawk in .44mag

Started my Ruger experience with a 10/22 Carbine. Got it as a birthday present from my boss (I was flying Floatplanes North of Lk Superior in 1980) Loved it for grouse head shots with a 4x something or other.

My next Ruger was a #1 RSI .243, then another 10/22 Deluxe.

Then a Mk1 pistol, then a #1 in 30-06, then #1 in 7x57, the RSI 77 in 308 Win. Then a stainless 77/22, coupla more 10/22s came and went, one of them stainless. A #3 in 45/70, then a second #3, this time modified with a recoil pad and sexy forearm. Then a 3 screw Blackhawk .357, a 3 screw Single Six, and old model Bearcat.

Went through all that divorce stuff a few years back and sold practically everything... not just my Rugers! I can recall no problems with any of them, and as I write this I can dredge up a coupla tears for each one.

Specially miss that #1 7x57 and the 77/22 - both whoooee accurate!:sniper:

Kept the Bearcat, Old Model Single Six, and the #3 with the recoil pad!

But it has begun again!

Just yesterday I picked up a 10/22. Hoping a friend might sell me a stainless .32 H&R mag Single six so my current (and last) wife can have her own sixgun! Get me another Blackhawk or Vaquero or two, and probably get another Bearcat so each kid can have one of their own. :cb2: And we can all practice for Cowboy Shootin' together.

Ain't givin' up on Rugers, just set them aside for a bit while I get back on my feet.

Cheers

My 1st Ruger was a m77 in 257 roberts at age 14, 2nd was a m77 in 270 at 17, 3rd a markII , 4th a 10-22 target. All very accurate. Then a week age I got a sbhh in .44and am getting a scope for it. Will be my under 80 yard hunting gun, cant wait to start shooting this one.

My 1st Woogie was a used 357 security 6, paid 65 yankee dollars.
I bought 2 new M77 30-06 for 190 bucks each back in 1978.
I still hunt with the M77s as they drive tacks.
There is a host of Rugers in the vault, and I have bought and traded many others, I never had a Ruger let me down.
Heck, I even own stock in Ruger, they send me a check every quarter!
Is this a great countery or what?

Over the years I've had .44 Magnum Super Blackhawks and Bisleys and .357 Blackhawks and Bisleys and .22 LR Super Single Six. By light years my favorite is my new SS 5.5" .44 Magnum Acusport Ruger Bisley. I'm hoping that Acusport will order limited editions in .357 Magnum and .22 LR. I've always felt that a set of .44 Magnum, .357 Magnum and .22 LR revolvers offered an impressive array of versatility! Dennis

Recieved a new Ruger Vaquero this Christmas!. Is the .45 with 71/2 inch barrel.

Am happy to report that it wont need any front sight filing or barrel turning.

Plan on working up loads with the unique & 185gr bullet right away as I am not above trying this out on 100yd coyotes (Midrange trajectory depending)

Will also investigate Hornadys claim of a SAFE 1,000fps load using win 296 & their 250gr jacketed bullet for a potential Deer load next season.

Just bought a new Super Blackhawk in 44 mag. with 10.5 barrell and so far it likes the 270 G.D.s the best. Trigger gaurd about killed one of fingers until I put the Hogue grips on,and now it's a pussycat. I've had,and still have serveral Ruger's over the years and never a problem with any of them. Digger

I guess I am a sucker for Rugers :wink: I have a Buckeye Special Blackhawk .32, GP 100 ss, 10/22 Int Lam., No 1 45-70 and just bought M77 .308. Haven't had time to shoot the M77 yet.

Have gotten two new Rugers in the last few months. One was a 45 Hunter the other was one of the stainless AcuSport 45 Bisleys (got that one last week) Looks like the next one - a .32 Birdshead - may be bought the middle of May. :-)

I really think Rugers are affordable and very rugged,well built and will last you a life time, I own a few= MarkII 22lr, 10/22 22lr, MarkII m77 338 win mag all weather, SRH in 44mag&454 casull. Aim small hit small. RAMbo.

7magWoodsman · « **Reply #23 on:** July 25, 2004, 07:33:44 PM »

I agree Rugers are rugged and well built. I only have two a M77 Standard 7mm Remington Magnum and a MkII Standard 22LR I can keep the groups supertight with both of these tools. I have shot just about every kind of Ruger made and have all been GREAT! I have not had enough experience with the mini 14 and mini 30 to give a solid opinion but they are fun to shoot!
