The only one I had an issue with was the #3 that even after professional work wouldn't give me MOA consistently at a 100 yds. In retrospect wish I would have kept the action and discarded everything else.
I suppose I could go down the list and give the pros and cons but there were a lot more pros so I'll leave it at that.

Another thing...I'm glad I didn't keep track of the money I lost during my gun, not just Ruger, trading years.

gandog56 · 06-10-2007, 06:48 AM

The only Ruger I have left is a New Model SBH with a 7 1/2" barrel. Prior Rugers included a P-85, KP89DC, KP944DC, and an Old Model SBH with a 10" barrel.

mike dakota · 06-10-2007, 09:23 AM

Here's an old target I dug up shot with the 10" Mark II and 2x Burris.
Respectable I think considering there's no defined aiming point except for the eye/ear base on the head shots.

At 50 yds with a more sight friendly target.

All but one for me. Had a Ruger P94 in .40 caliber that I shot oh so poorly. It was my introduction to the .40 caliber round and I was beginning to think the .40 was real trash. Fortunately, my next purchase was a CZ 75B in .40 and "discovered" how good the .40 could shoot.

The rest of my Rugers have been great shooters: couple of P95s, couple of P97s and a P345. Still have a Ruger MkI that I purchased in the early 70's and my "old model" Super Single Six along with a 3" SP101.

Only 1 Ruger pistol now, a .22 semi-auto that had a lot of rounds thru the barrel with zero complaints. Two mini 14s and a 10-22 that belongs to my wife. I once had a 93DC that was a wonderful pistol that I traded for a Colt officers model (revolver) in 357 with a scope .
I believe Ruger make the most under rated weapons on the market. Great products and good prices.

SignorSchnitzel · 06-16-2007, 11:13 AM

ive only got their 10/22, black stock stainless barrel, i forgot what scope i have on it now, both heatsheilds, flash supressor, i wanna get a bipod and a sling, theyre lots of fun, and ive never had a problem with it, and it has killed many a squirrel and rabbit.

ezearln · 06-16-2007, 12:59 PM

I currently only have the sweet lil Model 96, that my wife keeps commandeering whenever we goes Pecoses hunting!

Mightybigjosh · 06-23-2007, 12:43 PM

I picked up a Ruger P90 online for $250. When it showed up it was dirty but still cycled. I gave it a good cleaning and put a Houge grip on it and it shoots GREAT!!! Safety likes to gum-up after a couple 100 rounds but I keep some CLP with me to take care of that problem. Mags are decently priced and cycles anything I put through it. Never had a problem going BOOM!!!

10-22. I love it. Accurate out to around 100 yards, on a nice clam day, with iron sights. Reliable as all get out, unless I put that 35 round magazine too far in the magwell. Eats anything I feed it.....

ArkansasHunter · 06-23-2007, 01:55 PM

I don't own a Ruger at present, but will probably buy a Ruger Hawkeye
sometime before deer season...What caliber. I don't know, but I'm interested in 358

bigandrich44 · 06-23-2007, 03:29 PM

.358 shouldn't knock em down, it should knock them senseless, up in the air, then down.

ArkansasHunter · 06-23-2007, 07:47 PM

bigandrich44 this .358 I'm interested in is a 308 with a 35 caliber bullet.

bigandrich44 · 06-23-2007, 09:07 PM

I was just saying it oughtta hit hard enough.

BFRANKlin · 06-23-2007, 10:30 PM

P-85 Mk. II SS, P-95 SS, Old Model ('56 issue) Single Six 5" w/stag grips. New Mod Single Six 6.5" convertible w/fancy wood grips, GP 100 blued 4" w/short shroud, 50th anniv Mk II, Glossy SS Blackhawk .45 Colt 4~5/8", Mini 14, 40th anniv. 10/22. No complaints about any of them. The GP has fixed sights but is right on accurate. The Rugers are hard to beat.
Try some Cor-Bon in that .44. Powerful & accurate. I met Peter Pi in the '80s and encouraged him to do his dream of making high performance ammo. Nice guy. He wasn't sure if a market would exist with gun laws the way they were going. He makes some darn good ammo now.

Oh, forgot I also had a Ruger Mark II. Was such a pain reassembling it after cleaning I traded it in for a Browning Buckmark,

BFRANKlin · 06-24-2007, 06:42 PM

Best way to reassemble the Mk II is put the pin in and turn it up side-down to make the little pin fall in place, then fold it up. Works for me!

Don357 · 06-24-2007, 09:32 PM

My name says it all. I have a Ruger Blackhawk .357mag with a 6 1/2" barrel. I've added a clamp-on Weaver style scope mount and a 4x32 NcStar Illuminated reticle, long eye relief scope. At 50yds with 158gr JHP, she'll do a 4" grouping every time. Bt the way, the clamp-on mount works great and stays tight. The only pic that I have right now is my avatar. Sorry!!!

gandog56 · 07-07-2007, 11:27 PM

Once owned:
Ruger Mark II- Was to hard to reassemble, traded in for a Browning Buckmark
P85 9mm- Never was any good at accuracy, traded for an FN Hi-Power
KP89DC 9mm- Better accuracy, but sloppy trigger. Part of trade below.
KP944DC 40 S&W- Very accurate, but bad trigger pull caused flyers. Traded this and the KP89DC in for a Sig P229 with both 40 S&W and 357 SIG barrels
Ruger Super Blackhawk Stainless 44 mag. Scoped this baby and was deadly accurate with it. Had to sell when times got a little tough.
Still own:
New Model Super Blackhawk 44 mag. Only Ruger I still have left. Darned accurate, great trigger.

CinciGunGuy · 07-19-2007, 12:09 PM

I have a stainless 10/22 with an international stock and 4x Simmons scope. I love that gun! When i first had the gun it would jam, but then i learned how to tighten the rotary mags and let it break-in and now it rarely malfunctions. Haven't had a chance to hunt with it yet, but i know it has the accuracy and reliability to perform well in the field. Hopefully i can add some pics because this is a really unique 10/22.
