I have a M77 Mark II in .270 Win. Laminate stock and stainless barrel, I am not thrilled with the trigger, but it is built well and is very accurate even with the cheap Remington Core-locks I shoot in it. Since I am now reloading I plan on building a load for it. It has served me well in the woods with 2 eigth pointers and numerous does taken with it.
I also recently perchased a LCP. Love this little gun for CC. Very light even when fully loaded. accurate as can be for such a short barrel. The trigger has a bit of a long pull being its double action but is smooth and not to tuff. Recoil is surpisingly low with this little gun. Alot of people complain about it's recoil but I don't mind it at all.
I also shoot my dads 10/22 quit a bit. functions smoothly even after 10000+ rounds. holds about a 1" group at 50 yards with federal or remington bulk ammo. My only complaint is the trigger.
As far as I'm concerned Ruger is one of the best Firearms manufacturers out their, the customer service is awsome from what I hear. All the guns I've shot have been good shooters. They are well built, and make for great fun. Now if they could just desighn a good trigger, haha!

I've got 3 pistols- Mark II, Single Six .22/.22mag, and a 6 inch stainless GP100, and a 10/22 carbine that is somewhat modified so far. Love them all. My father had a 10/22 that he sold in a yard sale for 50$...I am still yelling at him for that...I would have given him more that that just to have another one.

This one is a Blackhawk 4 5/8 in .357 magnum, old model, and according to the serial number was built in 1972, among the last of the old models. The very first weapon I ever owned, got it when I was 20, and I just recently turned 55. My dad had to sign for it. I always thought Ruger's hammer pull was a little hard so I took it apart and cut a few coils off the spring. Got a little over-zealous and it wouldn't fire, so I stretched the spring a bit and it fired again. Nice hammer pull. It's the best gun, handgun or rifle, that I have ever owned. I did something else that some of the purists wouldn'g approve of. I buffed the black off the grip frame. I never did like that spray-painted look. I buffed it out and used Mother's mag polish on it, and now it looks like silver.

I've had three Super Blackhawk .44 mags, one of which was a like-new old model. I'm still kicking myself in the groin for letting that one go. I've also had a pair of semi pistols. One was a P95DC in 9mm, the other one was a P97DC in .45 caliber. Also in my past was a Mark I. I plan on getting another Ruger semi, but one that's small enough to carry easily. Plain and simple, I like Rugers. I think they're among the best bang for the buck. Pardon the pun.

SP101, 3" bbl, .357 Magnum. I wasn't a revolver guy until I bought this gun, but I'll tell you I love it. I made 2 mods to it... a Hogue Grip (the stock grip felt a little small) and a fiber optic sight. Most of my shooting is indoors, and with the dovetail rear sight and black front sight... shooting at a black target seemed impossible. What amazed me most was how well it handled the .357 Magnum loads. I wouldn't go as far as to call them "tame" but the stainless steel frame absorbs a lot more recoil then aluminum.

too many Rugers to list though 2 I regret selling cause they were not shooters, 2 #3s,one in .223 the other in .22 Hornet, wish I had them back. Currently my favorites I shoot regularly are a M77 in .280, Mini 14 Tactical, Mini 30, P89, my favorite hunting pistol for hogs a .45 colt in BH Bisley, today I spent a few bucks and ordered a new #1 Varminter in .22-250 and asked my dealer to find me a hard to get #1B in .308, the ultimate rifle in my favorite caliber. glad I got one hellacious gun safe....

.44 Redhawk 5.5".. Bisley Blackhawk 45 colt, Single-six convertible. Hate the trigger on the single six, but a good friend of mine is fixing it. I could have been satisfied with the Blackhawk, it's insanely accurate, and capable of handling some real deer-busting loads, but I just HAD to have a stainless Redhawk.. oh well, I'll try to bear up under the burden.

hey CJ, my BH is a Bisley with 7 1/2" barrel and with Buffalo Bore or Grizzly 300 gr. is a sledge hammer on hogs up to 100 yds. and I will shoot that far cause we are overrun with them so dont matter if they die there or go off and bleed to death. my .45 colt is the usually the only pistol I carry with me for a backup, hard to beat that combo..

Model 77 in .30/06 that has recorded 16 one-shot kills on whitetails,
Bearcat .22lr that has popped a couple of cottontails and swamp rabbits, countless Coke cans, pine cones, and paper targets,
Just obtained 10/22 with a Weaver K4 that hasn't been in the field yet, but upon sighting in, gave me dime-sized groups at 50 yards with Super-X hollowpoints.

Listing all my Rugers will be really simple, because I own only one: a standard 1964 Ruger Mark I .22 LR semi-auto pistol. It's the pistol I shoot the most, because I use it to warm up for 1 box of .22 every time I go to the range before moving up to whatever centerfire I've brought with me.

I find cleaning the action is a cast-iron bitch of a job. It might be easier if I could field-strip it; but Scotty, my pistol guru who sold me my Mark I and knows my lack of mechanical aptitude, told me not to do it because I'd end up bringing it back to him in a paper bag to be reassembled! And fifty rounds of .22 leaves that action awfully filthy, far more so than any of my 9x18 pistols or my Llama Model IX-A with 50 of their larger, heavier rounds.

I also have learned the hard way that my Ruger hates super-vels and hyper-vels. It shoots best with Aquila 60 grain rounds, which is a long .22 bullet of 60 grains loaded on a .22 Long cartridge case that is the same length as a .22 LR cartridge. Those aren't easy to come by. The Mark I was designed with standard-vel, 40 grain bullets in mind. With standard velocity rounds, it shoots well. With anything hotter, I've found it will get out of timing and fail to extract or load correctly.

It also hates hollowpoints regardless of maker, be they bulk or expensive custom rounds. They catch on the feed ramp and jam. This is a design flaw that was corrected in the Mark II, but that doesn't help me.

Still, with the correct ammo the Ruger Mark I sure is fun to shoot!
