Seems like on all the gun forums I frequent, threads pop up fairly regularly extolling the virtues of Ruger's customer service in dealing with a defective firearm. Then, invariably, the thread will be populated by multiple posts of similar stories of Ruger firearms with problems that were sent in and repaired quickly and without question.
What's curious, is that there are so many stories of defective firearms coming from Ruger lately. I own four Ruger firearms and three are flawless. The 22/45 Lite pistol I have is very ammo sensitive, but that's normal, I guess, for a .22 semi-auto.
The impression I'm getting is that Ruger is putting out a lot of defective firearms. But, that's a purely subjective view based only on having seen random responses online.
Perhaps someone who works at a retailer or distributor could shed light on whether or not there seems to be a much higher rate of issues with Rugers than with other manufacturers. I'm looking into getting a compact and lightweight bolt rifle in .308 and the Ruger Predator is high on my list.
