why are they so based is this the new Remington?

They're better than Nu-S&W and Remington, at least.

I don't want to like them but I can't stand the S&W Hillary Hole or Remington, Chiappa, and Taurus' total lack of QC. I have three Rugers and I wish I had none but they're appearently the best option.

Because they actually care about developing guns. Plenty of gun companies are owned by holding corporations like freedom group that don't give a single shit and just want to squeeze as much money out of a brand name as possible before it dies.

I've been really digging Ruger lately. They've just been making really good stuff.
I just bought this American Compact 9
I bought an American Predator in .308 recently
have an obligatory 10/22, but in Takedown format as a truck survival gun
I bought an SR-1911 for my fuddy five need
and I have my Super Blackhawk.

I really, really like Ruger. I like their products, and I like how New Ruger is. Thank fuck that Bill is dead.

I can't stomach Ruger because all of their shit just looks and feels cheep. I'd rather pay a little extra for better fit and finish, even if mechanically Rugers work just as well.

>buying American guns
>2017
Buy European stuff until domestic companies unfuck their shit.

>>33142015
The only Ruger I own is a Ruger MKIII .22lr pistol. Fit and finish is very good and it's extremely accurate and reliable. My friend has a Ruger American All Weather bolt action in .270 that he uses for deer hunting that also seems like a nice firearm and puts up some impressive 5 round groups at 100 yards.

I'm not a big fan of most of their polymer semi-auto pistols though.

>>33142015
Buy a Ruger No. 1 then.
Rebarrel it to .50 BMG.

>>33141872
muh dick

these are probably like $2500 and ill never own it though

The 10/22 is kinda overrated

>>33141617
Colt has been a tire-fire since the 50s. Shit-tier corporate management milking the name for every drop they can get out of it, labor problems, sold their tooling, retarded projects like the All-American 2k, a smartgun tech project that caused uproar, oh and losing their one good military contract.
>Remington
Going the same way as Colt. Taken over by a capital management group more interested in quarterly profits, cost-cutting and pimping the name on everything than making good guns or even having safe levels of QC.
It's just a name now. A shell of it's former self.
>Winchester
Similar story only it started with a big move to simplify their products and add useless lawyer-approved safeties in the 60s. Quality slipped, they hoped the consumers wouldn't notice but they did. Sales nose-dived and Winchester has been on the rocks since. They currently belong to Olin Corp., who originally bought their trademark for Winchester Ammunition. Winchester's firearms division exists like Colt does, limited-run Winchester-branded repros of old designs and special edition commemorative runs, often outsourced to other manufacturers.
>>33141643
That's because Remington bought them. Original factory has been shut down, all the original employees were fired or relocated to the Remington plant (along with a massive pay cut) to work alongside talentless minimum-waged meth-shooting trailer park brats that don't know anything about actually building guns.

>>33142304

>>33142651
Damn I think I'm going to have to get one

>>33142870
>No, not really at all. Esp for their price
10/22s are cheap and have cheap fit and finish. Everyone creams themselves over them, but they're really the HiPoint of .22s. I bought one because I was told again and again that it was the gold standard beginner's rifle and immediately had problems with the internals and am overall dissatisfied.

On top of that, custom GUCCI .22s are a fucking meme and will never shoot as well as a gun twice the price out of the box would.
My problems with 10/22s would be less pronounced if the actual quality models like the Sporter were more readily store-available

Bill Ruger died and they stopped being Fudds, and instead turned to leveraging their good name into the the AR industry with enough scale that they can survive the bottom falling out of the market, because they can put shitloads of AR-556's out for the same cost/time as all the garage builders can throw out the same shit.

>>33142378
I know for a fact that that's not true because I've been to gun valley in the past 6 months.

He's also wrong about Winchester. Winchester ammo and Winchester firearms are completely separate entities now. The name for ammo is owned by the Olin corp, but the Winchester firearm company is owned by the Herstal Group.

>>33141508
Idk, the only real faux paus by S&W is the Hillary hole, and I think that's less egregious than ruger helping to write the 94 AWB

>>33141617

Winchester is now owned by FN, and frankly, the guns are better than ever. No corners cut on their legacy designs.

>>33141508
Because they sell a broad variety of reliable firearms at a reasonable price.

While they aren't perfect, I use Ruger as the standard to hold other companies to.

my thoughts on ruger. I wanted a gun to walk around in the woods with semi auto with ten round magazine so naturally i get something like a garand , mini 14-30, sks, hakim something like that. so i go out and buy a new mini 14 i go and put about 40 rounds through it then go to shoot it again and it wont shoot. turns our brass got into the bolt becouse they didnt burr it enough and the firing pin was also to long. works fine now but i deem it unreliable. i will never buy another ruger and i will sell this once my sks comes in. they did mail me a new top rail for it becouse i called and said i never got one tho. however i wish sanctions of guns were opened up to other places like russia, china, turkey etc becouse then we would get our own makers here to make good guns again because of competition or go out of business for all i care i came to terms with only collecting mostly milsurp anyway because it goes up in value

I appreciate Ruger a lot. Their P-Series was a really great addition to their long line of firearms. Some people hate the bulkiness, but something about them makes me want even more. I've got a P85 and P90 and I've never had a jam or malfunction. Fit and finish have always been spot on, too. Do wish I had some of the older S&W pistols, though. Especially that one that was chambered in 10mm and carried by the RCMP for a while.

Just checked, msrp is $427.

I like some of Ruger's guns, I have a 10/22 and a 1976 Security Six that I'd never part with, and an old school Bearcat .22 that I keep because my brother gave it to me.

Ruger has also cranked out a lot of junk over the years, too.

I live in Arizona, and Ruger's Prescott factory is constantly hiring Temp workers at $10/hour, no benefits. It's my opinion that the reason that Ruger products are so hit and miss is that the smart and skilled workers leave for better jobs ASAP, and are replaced by fireable fuck ups.

My advice and experience is to only buy Ruger products with an enforceable warranty, and work them hard at the range before the warranty is up.

>>33144834
Ruger doesn't do warranties. You just call in and they repair or replace.

>>33148313
S&W caved to gun control pressure and put a locking mechanism into their revolvers. You can see it as a little hole on the left side of the frame near the grip. You have to use a little key or something to turn it and lock the revolver, making it "safe" and unable to fire. It was in response to some legislation Hillary Clinton proposed or something along those lines, hence Hillary hole.

Many people don't like it because they see it as a point of failure that could unintentionally keep the gun from firing. Most hate it just because of the idea of S&W caving to anti-gun pressure when they didn't have to.

>>33141777
Fucking checked, Bill Ruger can suck it.

Love my SR9, it shouldn't shoot as good as it does. I was going to get the Ruger American but it feels to square in the back of the grip, as in the web of my hand. Plus the Hudson H9 debut so now I'm wanting that meme machine.

>>33148819
I hate the Hillary Hole for the sole reason that I think it destroys the aesthetics of their otherwise good looking revolvers. I have no fucking clue why they are still producing revolvers with those locks to this day...

>>33149058
You know that if they stopped, gun control groups and the media would latch onto it screaming, "S&W is making their guns safe on purpose! They want to kill babies!" And I'm assuming its easier to leave them and avoid that headache.

*unsafe
