Re: Ruger M77 RSI 7mm-08

The only way to update those listings for posterity is to provide that info to the RENE editor, which I highly recommend ;) Chad Hiddleson, editor Red...

Re: SHOT 2024

Were the Hornady/Ruger 75th Anniversary knife sets limited to only the SHOT show?

Re: Number One 7mm-08

Re: RCA goodies

In about 1984 at the Monroeville, PA Ruger collector theme show I was walking the floor and spotted two boxed Lightweights on Mr. Mongeau's table. One was an absolutely NIB Tri Color Lightweight with no chips on the cylinder and ...
