Ruger's Bearcat Shopkeeper
The Ruger Bearcat has been around since 1958; the New Model Bearcat since 2002. Bearcats have been made in various combinations of aluminum and steel, sometimes a combination of both.

Ruger's No. 1 in 257 Weatherby Magnum Part II
The other night, I finally got around to watching Ron Howard’s “In the Heart of the Sea”. There was positive anticipation of giant whales and ocean going sailing ships, based upon previous knowledge of the book, and the deep belief it is almost impossible to make a bad movies about […] [Read More]
Ruger's Power House 41 Mag Bisley Blackhawk Part 2
Swamp People returned sans my favorite swamp people. I took if off the DVD recorder list and the show was subsequently canceled. Magic remote? Possibly. I intend to remove Street Outlaws – New Orleans this evening to see if I get the same result. My wife and I watched the […] [Read More]
Ruger's Power House 41 Mag Bisley Blackhawk Part 1

The Ruger Silent-SR'd American Rimfire Part I
It’s April in Maine. A few days ago the overnight temperatures were in the 62ºF to 68ºF. Last night that range dropped to 30ºF to 38ºF and in the morning there was snow on the ground. Maine is a pretty state with lots of woodland and mostly interference-free living, but […] [Read More]
The Ruger Silent-SR'd American Rimfire Part II
The idea was to shoot the Ruger American Rimfire with the Ruger Silent-SR, but it seemed better to drag in another product for reference. So not a comparative piece, just a “point out the differences” piece. Above, Ruger’s Silent-SR on top and Advanced Armament’s Aviator 2 beneath. All sorts of […] [Read More]
Ruger's Target Barrel 10/22 Takedown
It was PlayStation 4 that brought me to a state of Mindfulness Meditation. Escaping reality in the broader strokes, living within the confines of Dragon Quest Heroes, I was able to achieve Thales dictum, “know thyself”; an old guy wearing sweat pants and t-shirt, focused and committed to slashing and […] [Read More]
