Am I the only one wondering why they don't do one in .480 Ruger? I think would be a bad-bubblegum thumper.
Reader's Digest version: they will start with the stainless big loop in 45-70.
They might, but they will never make one in .460 Mag - unfortunately.Am I the only one wondering why they don't do one in .480 Ruger? I think would be a bad-bubblegum thumper.
I'm pretty sure I didn't say "bad bubblegum". Thanks mods, message received.Am I the only one wondering why they don't do one in .480 Ruger? I think would be a bad-bubblegum thumper.
Yeah, can't see them giving a S&W cartridge the time of day.They might, but they will never make one in .460 Mag - unfortunately.
460 S&W outperforms it and they would definitely not want to promote that.Am I the only one wondering why they don't do one in .480 Ruger? I think would be a bad-bubblegum thumper.
They should bring back the .444, too.460 S&W outperforms it and they would definitely not want to promote that.
First though, they have to bring back the entire original product line as they promised at the front end of this takeover.
Agreed. The rifle they are starting out with is a niche rifle. A "Guide Gun" popular in Alaska. A large loop for use with gloved hands, and stainless. The 45-70 lever gun is not pleasant to shoot for most folks, so it's market is pretty slim. Great as a back up gun against big nasty critters and handy to pack around, but that's it.If this was a blued/parked/nitrided gun with a small loop and threaded barrel, I'd be in line. Swing and a miss, Ruger. Seems the president/CEO/whatever is out of touch
