The American Rifleman reports that Ruger is discontinuing the following:
Revolvers: LCR, SP101, GP100, Redhawk, Super Redhawk, Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk, Single-Series, Vaquero and Bearcat.
Semi-Auto Pistols: SR1911, PC Charger, LC Charger
Rifles: LC Carbine, PC Carbine, No. 1, 77-series, Hawkeye and Ruger Precision.
The one that caught my eye was the Ruger Precision Rifle. Their explanation said, "In many cases, we see opportunities to bring them forward through new designs, improved features and modern manufacturing methods." (Emphasis added) I thought that was a new design, and the internet says it was introduced in 2015. 2015 isn't modern enough? Did they just take a really old design, make it look slightly different and sell it as a new product?
ReplyDeleteA couple gun shops are commenting on Facebook that the guns being discontinued are the slow to no sellers.
