Hmmm, these are dirt cheap 22 mag. Really fun gun. Plus you can configure it as a pistol for concealed pocket carry... (kidding!)
Yah, I'll admit on at least one occasion, I was tempted. But way too much bad press to take the plunge. I don't regret the decision.
Over a grand?
Bahahahah!!! Your funny....
Well? Let's hear it.
2050$ granted it is new old stock. I still couldn't believe it
Holy hell!!!! Ruger American in 22 mag is $320 new. Little revolver is $230ish new. What does a mossberg chuckster or whatever it was called cost used now I wonder. That's seems crazy high to me but I don't follow 22 mag guns. I noticed there are 22 mag AR uppers now though fwiw.
Wow! That is a lot.
Ya I guess it's a collectors gun now.....so I've been told. I guess 40,000 where made for 3 years and they had a recall cause of the receiver cracking. If you sent them back to ruger they gave you the gun of your choice. This was new in the box never fired, I still almost stroked out!
For $2k, your choices in firearms are pretty extensive. Like, darn near any gun you want outside of customs and .50s extensive and he chose a .22 he's not even supposed to shoot. Unbelievable.
Damn straight. For $2k you could get:
You could almost buy half of a Wilson Combat for that!
But you wouldn't have a proven egg shell fragile gun you couldn't shoot.
Right? I figure it's a double rare one, they didn't make many of them and almost all of them that got shot much cracked the receiver!
Now, I'm not saying I agree with the statement, but I once heard them described as Hi-Points for rich people.
Yeah, the back of my safe is crowded too. Pre SB941 I would just offload stuff like that. Now it's not worth the hassle.I was going to say Rough Rider .22 revolvers, but when I think about it, it's not hard to understand the popularity: low price.
As low quality as they are, most of them do tend to work OK. Materials and quality are a step above a pot-metal cap gun, and if you get a bad one or your new gun falls apart after a couple months, like mine did, it's an expensive hassle to send it in for repair. They might fix it, or they might make it worse, like they did mine.
You can't go too far wrong for a hundred bucks or so, and most people who have them seem to be pretty happy with them. But, for just a few dollars more I bought a Ruger Wrangler; far better quality, far better customer service, and the Rough Rider sits in the back of the safe collecting dust. Ironically, not long after buying the Wrangler I found an older, used Super Single Six, complete with both cylinders, for only a few dollars more than the Wrangler. Now the Wrangler sits in the back of the safe with the Rough Rider!
