What new Ruger would you like to see in a limited special run?

[hoytcanon]

Here's a neat rifle Lipsey brought out. A new ruger m77 alaskan with out the spacers and muzzle brake. Cleaner lines to the rifle in 9.3x62 and 35 whelen.

This pisses me off! I just built this rifle in .350 Rem Mag!

Placed a 9.3mm on order. Very excited about this configuration of a m77.

I agree. It ticks all the boxes they kept missing with the last few iterations. Great hunting rifle.

Including your post, three times. But because no one is making commercial ammo for this round anymore (making it a reloaders-only option), the feasibility of it as a viable choice would be in doubt. It's not a criticism against the chambering itself as I would consider owning one. The problem is getting a large enough group of other hunters to agree with that selection. Excluding all of the people who rely on commercial ammo makes that already difficult hurdle even harder to clear (like a lot of other suggestions in this thread).

Plus, Ruger has their own proprietary .416 so the Taylor won’t happen. Too bad.

I also just ordered one of the 9.3’s. Seems like it should be a great setup for the money!

Any rimmed cartridge in an RSI model will get my attention. I use iron sights on my current 405 Win so I'm never shooting it very far anyway.

8x57IRS, 8x60RS, 8x65RS, 8x75RS.

8x57IRS, 8x60RS, 8x65RS, 8x75RS.

In the USA, it is possible to find 8x57 IRS from Sellier & Bellot. The rest of the list would be problematic. But the even bigger hurdle to clear is the fact that no one else in this thread expressed an interest in any of these chamberings so the probability of getting enough people to commit to a purchase is low. I would love an RSI in 303 British, but that's not going to happen either.

The challenge of this thread was trying to identify a round that was unique enough to deserve a special run but also popular enough to have broad appeal. Getting that balance correct is difficult. Consensus is pretty hard to come by too.

This is my version of the same rifle, Ruger M77 MKII Stainless/Laminate .350 Rem Mag, 20" Bob Jury barrel, NECG sights, Leupold VX-R 2-7X33mm IR. I guess the only slight (very slight) benefit, is that my version is a Short Action.

Seen here paired with my .458 WM Carbine.

A wish for something new from Ruger?

A Model 70 style safety and an effective recoil pad.

Yeah, their recoil pads are shite. Replaced everyone I have bought so far with a NECG or Pachymyar.

Not a rimmed, but a perfekt fit for a RSI would be a .308 Winchester.
My personal favourite.... .358 Winchester.

While I missed the run of the African in 9.3X62 and didn't want to pay scalper prices later, I checked that box with a CZ 550 and today ordering the new Ruger Alaskan Bush rifle, But I'd be in for a African 7mm Mauser/275Rigby, the other one I missed.
A No.1S medium sporter in a 405 WCF, or a little more obscure round, 303 British.
Never going to happen? but reintroduce the RSM in 404J

 

[dgr416]

I wish the 338-06 or 338 federal in a Ruger African and a 264 win mag with 28 inch barrel .I want the tang ssfety back too .I can shoot a under my thumb safety instantly .

 

[dgr416]

I forgot Ruger 77 african tang safety in 7x57 ! Thats a totally classic african caliber .The 400 whelen in Ruger African with tang safety and sites .Elmer Keith would love that one .

 

[Forrest Halley]

I'd like a Ruger No. 1 in .45-120, .450NE, .50-90, or .50-140 in a nice long 26" or 28" D weight barrel.

 

[dgr416]

Ruger RSI in 338 federal and a Ruger African in 338-06 .Those would be awesome guns .Those two calibers need to be reborn like the 35 whelen .

 

[MontanaGrant]

I would buy two .338-06 Africans. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is made one year.

I bet it’ll sell out fast too, compared to the .270 and 35 models

 

[Noah_McCoy]

Not a limited run but I’d like to see ruger re-release the RSM in 416 & 450 Rigby

I think starting with the 35 Whelen they have stopped limiting the runs to 250 rifles. The 270 was probably selected because of the 100 year anniversary and it is probably being produced in unlimited numbers too. I am hoping for a .30-06 or 7x64 soon.
