Re: what would you pay???
There is no Ruger of lever guns since Ruger quit making them. Henry cares about appearance first, proprietary design second, function third.
The only new guns I am interested in are the ones you assemble from scratch. At least you know what's in there.....

Amen to that.Ranch Dog wrote:I would say at this point, Henry. I'm surprised that Mossberg hasn't ventured into the 92 market or expand their 94 clones into additional cartridge offerings.

Re: what would you pay???
Ive mentioned before that if Henry made a side load gate id own three. I get that its not rhat big a deal, and that Henrys are good rifles, and that im not fighting off bandits and dont need to quick reload from the belt but ehhh, its just a bridge too far for meRanch Dog wrote:I would say at this point, Henry.

But man, id love it if a good company picked up Rossi, or just expanded their own line to compete in the growing vacuum Taurus is creating from Rossi mismanagement

Re: what would you pay???
I can see that. You're a hunter and therefore mostly a rifle man. I like handguns so I am a Ruger fan. Only Ruger rifle I have is rimfire, another no-no for RD.Ranch Dog wrote: I'm not a Ruger fan, they could make a levergun and I would not buy it.
If Ruger made a lever gun again I might buy one ten years later when the price came down.

Glad I missed that one. Still kicking myself for passing on a stainless 16" 454 at GM last year. Seems like they wanted just over $500 which I didn't have, should have put it in layaway.

Re: what would you pay???
Agreed. I own four different Ruger handguns and all with the exception of my 22/45 have been GTG from day one. My 22/45 was really picky about ammo, and even after a steady diet of HV ammo, it wasn't until after I switched out the stock extractor with a Volquartsen that it became reliable.GasGuzzler wrote:I can see that.

The stock extractor is on the left.
I've owned a few 10/22's over the last forty years, but have sold them all off. Currently my only Ruger long arm is a Mini 14 Ranch. All reliable as a bag of hammers.

Re: what would you pay???
I have a stainless model 92 in 454 and prefer it for a fun gun over dozens in the safe. I have had a want to buy add and a search posted on Armslist for about 2 years and have not had one reply. If you find a 454, buy it or send me a note. I am guessing you will not get one for less than maybe $750. Mine works great with 45 colt so either cartridge is fine for plinking. I searched nearly 3 years and just found a stainless 16 inch in 357 last week. Just for your info. Rossi could sell the krap out of them in 357 and 454 if they would just tool up.

Re: what would you pay???
Ranch Dog. I am curious why you are not a fan of the Ruger single actions. I own several from 22-45 and always found them perfect in everyway. I also own other single actions, they just will not handle the hotter loads. And having the handguns in 357 and 45 colt compliment my Rossis. Just curious.
