Properly tuned and directed at a prairie dogs ears, nothing is sweeter than the Ruger #1.

Was there some kind of directive from the U.N. that all Americans should have a viable 10/22 as a SHTF weapon? LOL

Well I do. If he doesn't buy one, there is one more available for me

triggers. To me this feature defeats so many of their designs.

Otherwise, I do not hate Ruger products.

oldjarhead · 01-28-2009, 09:29 AM

I don't care much for Ruger either but I do own a few.
It appears that what you want is a long bow and arrow set. Not bulky, light weight, and easy to clean.
Unfortunately when you deal with firearms you must have a give and take attitude. You can have the best of both worlds but you need to shop around and find what you desire but you still will need the GTA.
I don't believe anyone makes a self-cleaning firearm yet but I'd bet if you wrote to some of the manufacturers, they'd get a good laugh.

Mine is their constant cow-towing to government political correctness.
Their triggers do sorta suck for the most part.
They only make two accurate rifles, the Number 1 and the 10/22.
Heck, I thought ya had to have a 10/22...just because.

Fackler Rebel · 01-28-2009, 11:53 AM

I have owned Rugers over the years, all the way to a GP100 and several others. I recently got rid of a Ruger Mark II that I bought brand new. Dang thing can't jamming on me, and was a real pain in the butt to reassemble, compared to the old Ruger Mark I, I owned many years ago and NEVER did jam. Now I have a SP101 in .22, a real rare gun, and a 10 22 in stainless, think it is the all weather carbine. Love both of them. Bill Ruger pretty much knew what he was doing. If you don't like Rugers then buy something else.

The basic design is fine, Ruger does not spend much time doing any fine fitting of parts. It is extremely easy to take a 10/22 trigger to 2.5lbs with five minutes of stoning. My personal bench 10/22 is 8oz and zero creep, only added part is a set screw to the sear and some stone work.
I have never found a pistol or rifle that did not benefit from some judicious stoning or fitting of the trigger mechanism.

Dont like Rugers ? Go buy a Taurus !!!

danvilleusa · 01-28-2009, 01:53 PM

So, you don't like Ruger's, So what???

Why do people come up with an uneducated opinion about a product or company, or their buddy decides they don't like it so that must be gospel.

Why tell it here, who cares, or are the rest of us to quit liking ruger because he does not like them???

Really, what is the purpose or sense of a thread like this???

Well, I like Ruger as a company and many of their products. Now, they have some stuff I don't really like either, but that is just personal preference.

For rimfire in particular they are hard to beat. I have a Mk III and a Super Single Six 6.5" stainless model. The MK I-III is steel, accurate, reliable and has a solid grip. It is somewhat involved to disassemble. And a fancy one like the Mk.III Hunted costs less than half of what a SW 41 runs.

The 10/22 like all .22 autoloaders is filthy and hard to clean. Still, it is pretty reliable and that reliability is enhanced with the rotary magazine which gives each round its own parking space. I keeps 10 rounds flush with the stock.

All their single-action revolvers are good. The transfer-bar safety allows six shots to be loaded and carried safely. Their double-action revolvers are very nice too. They are solid steel and nearly indestructible, but still cost less than SW.

Their autopistols are not exactly the Cadillacs of the industry. Still, they are tough and reliable and problably the best of the budget-grade pistols. As far as the LCP goes, I have no idea. I would not buy a gun that small. The Mini-14 is its own animal. It is made to be a compact, pest control gun, not a tack driver.

Ruger is one of four American gun makers with its own hot steel works. SW has its own hot steel, but I don't know who the other two are.

And yes, its a fact, the 10/22 is overated..but is in no way a bad firearm. The mini 14 has done well for itself, and I see no reason to be disgruntled unless you think they're a sniper rifle, in which case I too would be dissapointed. I dont know squat about the other firearms you listed. Ruger has done well for themselfs, if they were no good word would get around and people wouldent buy them...why is it they are SO popular? Hmm...should we give that a second thought.
Hey, if you have convinced yourself you dont like them, and have sold all your Rugers why would you WANT someone to convince you otherwise. You stated that they're too light, too bulky, unattractive...I cant change your vision, and sense I am assuming thats all your going off of, there's really NO way to help you here:]

I'm a moron , sorry P.S like browning the made a CZ 75 knock off
