The American Rifle Ranch has proven to be an excellent bolt action platform for cartridges that might have otherwise been limited to semi-auto duty. Instead, championed by the inclusion in the American Rifle Ranch package, cartridges like the 300 Blackout, 7.62×39 and 450 Bushmaster can also serve the bolt action…...

Ruger's Single Seven Bisley in 327 Fed Mag Part I
I realize there are several companies that manufacture single action revolvers, but none as well as Ruger. Not in quantity, not in quality and not with so much diversity of models. In addition to a multitude of catalogued firearms, Ruger, also produces a large number of firearms that are sold…...
Ruger's Security-9
There are substantially three types of marketing messages used to sell firearms; purpose, style and new. The task gets easier, but a product’s longevity of success diminishes the further the category moves to the right of the semicolon. New gets old fast, trends in styles come and go, but the…...

Ruger's New Custom Shop Super GP 100 357 Magnum

Ruger's Hawkeye Long Range Target 6.5 PRC Part I
I really have to move the house closer to the mailbox. The snow fall hasn’t been too bad, compared to the past year, but the wind chill factor yesterday was -15°F with winds gusting to 30 knots. I’ve had to pour hot water on my trigger finger to separate it…...
Ruger's Mini-14 Tactical 300 Blackout Part II
I hate exercise for the sake of exercise. No, I am not lazy and I have no qualms about expending the same level of energy in more productive or entertaining ways. It is just that exercising, for the sake of exercising, is incredibly boring and offers no short term gratification…....
Ruger's Hawkeye Predator in 223 Rem Part I
I want to change, I try to change, but with so many years of life’s momentum, I just keep missing the on ramps. For the sake of a brand new year, I decided I would attempt an infusion of singers/groups under the individual or average age of sixty into my…...
