Ruger Quality

[TAB]

I said factory ammo, you can tune handloads so that  just about anything to give you 1 moa assuming its not worn out.( talking about bolt action guns)

I have a number of Rugers and I handled the SR556 yesterday. I'd buy another and another…

I love the SR556, but unless our kind of people mobilize a political takeover or I move to another state, there's not one in my near future. A rep at the Ruger booth told me that the LCR is near approval for CA, so I'm glad my wife liked it.

you do know you could legally buy one if you wanted... as long as it did not have one of a few features.


There are lots of legal ARs in CA.

I just think that the requirements are ridiculous. These laws aren't making California safer. I probably already have some of them from before the 94 crime bill. The SR556 is really built the way it should be. I'd except a Remington R-15/R-25 type with a "bullet-button", since I would really want it for hunting anyway.

Tab, you're already in the area of the Capitol. Why don't you run for office and get rid of some of these dumb laws based on cosmetics repealed for us? Don't you know some of the legislators also?

My district already has a good rep with Roger Neilo( one of the few).

I have several higher ups as clients... Many of them would love to change things, but they can't.

You know its funny, just about eveyr one I know says I should run for office.  I don't take shit from anyone, and I get things done.  Just about every goverment employee/elected/ appointed would hate me. 


FWIW, there is so much wrong with this state, guns are not even in the top 100 things that need to be fixed.

WHen tiem came around to "fixing" the gun laws. all I would do is write a bill that removed all LEO execptions... every thing else would work its way out after that...

They must know you like we do 

Seriously, That is a good recommendation in my book.

I have owned numerous Rugers for over 30 years starting with my first handgun, a Ruger Stainless Security Six in .357.  Their handguns are built like tanks and have  been extreamly reliable.  This has included DA and SA revolvers and auto pistols.  I have no complaints with fit and finish.  They are accurate for what they are designed for and I can't remember a single one that did not shoot better than what I am capable of.  If one ever did malfunction at a critical time, you could always use it as a club as they are built that sturdy.  I have no experience with any of their polymer framed handguns, so I can't speak to that.    As far as rifles go, most of my experience has been with the 10/22 and the Mini-14.  I have never had either model fail on me.  Granted, some  Mini-14 have some accuracy issues, but Ruger seems to have addressed that issue withthe latest ones.  The Mini is extreamly reliable and is an excelent defensive wepeon and I would not be afraid to go on offense with one.  It is not a tack driver,and was not designed as one.  I have seen stock Minis out of the box out shoot stock ARs out of the box.  Both can be made to shoot better.  The 10-22 is a great little gun out of the box.  If you want you can make it into whatever you want to.  Ruger has started putting plastic trigger guard housings in them and are finishing the barrels now with what to me appears to be sime kind of coating.   The receiver has some kind of krinkle paint finish.  I think the front sight dovetail is now a plastic sleeve.  I don't care for these latest changes.  I imagine a lot of it has to do with price point and the fact that many new 10/22s get stripped down for cutom builds now.  If Ruger wants to build an ugly 10-22 for a price point, fine, but I wish they would have a more refined and finely fiished one available for those who care more about the asthestics of blue steel and wood.
Are their poorly made Rugers out there, most likely, just as there are poorly made Glocks, and Smiths and Colts and Sigs and Kimbers and anything else that is manufactured.

Actually 1.047" @ 100 yards and 3.49" @ 1000 (.44 = 1/8 MOA @ 1000)

300' x 2 = 600' x 12" = 7200"
7200" x pi = circumfrence of 22620"
c/360 = 62.63/60 min = 1.047" or 1 moa @100 yards.

I think the bottom of a beer can at 100 yards is close enough for government work!

ps...thanks to my 10th grade geometry teacher.....who'd a thunk I'd ever need to know that stuff after all these years!

I thought 1 MOA @ 1000 yds was a hair over 10"...? ? ?


And, the fit, finish, and function is top notch on all my Ruger firearms, and the accuracy is more than acceptable.

3000' x 2 = 6000' x 12" = 72000"
72000" x pi = circumfrence of 226200"
c/360 = 628.32/60 min = 10.47" or 1 moa @1000 yards.

Your right PegLeg, I must have grabbed my left handed calculator......
