I thought Ruger made decent firearms, it was their stance on some issues that put them in the doghouse on ARF.

That stance died with POS Bill, and now Ruger has spent the last decade or so building guns for private citizens defend themselves, including CCW guns and scary black rifles.

Ruger is my favorite firearms manufacturer.

No, we don't hate Ruger at all.

They make a HUGE variety of good-to-great firearms at attractive prices right here in the U.S.

Classic blued steel and walnut? They got that.

Modern rifles and pistols with threaded barrels, high-caps, and factory suppressors? Yup.

Iconic and unique offerings like the #1, Scout Rifle, Precision Rifle, and Charger? Oh yeah.

I (think) i only have one Ruger right now in the safes, but damn sure no hate for them.

I bought one a year ago or so for $399.  It has to be one of the most well built vanilla ARs I’ve run across. Very nice, and fantastic price.

My first AR was a Ruger 5.56 and I love it. Shoots great out of the box and for that price get 2. I paid like 800 for mine a week after Pulse.

I still can’t figure out why they took the trouble to design a proprietary FSB with a bayonet lug only to put them on 16” carbines.

And takedown 10/22s, takedown pistol caliber carbines, threaded barrels on everything, and suppressors!

I love the new Ruger!

Some people live in the past. Bill Ruger the founder of the company was a turd smoking kid toucher who sold us down the river in the late 80’s and early 90’s by pandering to antis and giving democratic lawmakers ideas for regulations that would eventually become the 94 AWB. Bill Ruger however is dead and likely roasting in Hell. Current ownership does not share his values.

There’s a more valid reason to hate Smith & Wesson though. I will continue not buying their junk as long as they continue with the Hillary Hole nonsense.

Maybe with the advances in metallurgy and computing power, the XGI could still come to pass.

That's a damn good price.  If I hadn't just finished building two ARs for cheaper than that apiece, I'd be all over that.

Friend of mine bought one for his 1st (and probably only) AR. Always told me the Mini-14 was better (doesn't have one, never shot one as far as I know), but then again he's a Ruger fanboy. He told me the AR-556 is better than any other AR brand because the delta ring UNSCREWS. I'm just like . Other than one rifle, every gun he has is a Ruger.

Only Rugers I have are a 10/22 and LCP. Had a P89 (and I wish I never sold it).

I love Ruger.  I have a Mini14 I bought before I moved to California.  I may write a book some day - My life in California or How I learned to love the Mini 14.

Have you seen my videos?

This three letter word is why Ruger, S&W, Springfield, RRA, Troy, and the rest of them will always be confident that fucking the citizenry in the ass every time there's an extra dollar in it for them is the right choice.

Not one of these fucking cocksuckers have ever been held responsible via their bottom line, nor will they ever.

Three fucking letters. We're our own worst enemy.

Ruger's AR-556 semi-automatic rifle is made from froged aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum. Does this make it Space Force spec?
