Hello,
Recently started collecting Ruger carbines building off an early 1961 (3 digit sn) 44 Carbine I got from a friend. Like Bill Ruger, I am partial to mannlicher stocked guns so I have added an early 1966 10/22X International and a 1985 M77 RSI in 250 Savage. They are VG to EXC shooters and I hope to add a few more as deals come up. Along the way I have picked up a couple of M77 22 Hornet RSH, which are apparently somewhat rare. Probably will list one here after accurizing it and shooting a few rounds when the range opens up again.
But my first Ruger is a 582 Mini-Thirty that I built as a scout carbine with a Burris LER in a bit of a fool's errand to make it accurate. Fun shooter in club matches, though.

Welcome to the ROCS website, happy that you have joined us. I too really like the. 44 Carbines, great Whitetail brush rifle. Sounds like you have some good Rugers!! Again, welcome.

Thanks! Happy to be here (happy to be anywhere).
Looking forward to learning and sharing.
Not a hunter, though, just can't shoot critters any more.
I love the synthesis of wood and blue steel that is embodied in a fine old Ruger and the way they feel in-hand.

Welcome aboard, glad to have you. You'll find some very knowledgeable people here along with being great guys.

Thanks, Bennet.
Now that we are obliged to stay home I have a lot of time on my hands but I will try not to pester you folks too much. While I have to put a hold on collecting until this blows over, I still look for interesting guns on the internet and learn to wait. I wonder what impact the whole thing will have on collecting in the short term.

Welcome to our forum. Sounds like you have some nice Rugers. Post a picture or two, it's easy to do. Love to see your mini thirty.

Just posted a couple of pics on the mini 30 thread in Shooting Rugers. Enjoy.

Welcome Carbineguy. Glad to have you here. Ruger is spoken fluently and we have fun. I also like the Mannlicher stocks and have 2 of the 10/22 variety. Don't feel like you are ever pestering anyone on here. We enjoy Ruger anything! If you can not find an answer on here about any Ruger thing you can think of I would be surprised.

Thank you, Watertender.
What a great resource for Ruger enthusiasts. I will post photos of my two Internationals soon. They are beautiful pieces - they sure don't make them like that any more.
There are a few high priced NIB guns lingering on GB. I'm looking for deals on 98/99% shooters, though.
