Ray Ray 3,566 Posted April 19, 2019 https://www.ruger.com/products/wrangler/models.html At first I thought, why? A 6 shot, single action revolver with fixed sights. But after seeing the different finshes and then the MSRP I figured, damn why not?!? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted April 19, 2019 Should be about $150 steeet price. Was a great little gun and much better build quality than the heritage/Taurus ones. Was amazing to see all the seal/delta guys at the event go crazy over it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRIZ 3,369 Posted April 19, 2019 Aluminum frame, 6 shot, fixed sights, and cerakote all keep the price low. @Ray Ray agree with you 100%. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mreal75 9 Posted April 19, 2019 They're gonna sell a ton of these. I'd much rather spend my money on a Ruger than anything else in this price range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dajonga 397 Posted April 19, 2019 I have always wanted to get a Single Six or a Bearcat, but the prices have always discouraged me, especially for a gun that was only to be a trainer/range toy. A few weeks ago I decided when my permits came in I would go with a Rough Rider, even though I hate the idea of a safety on a revolver. I WILL buy this when it hits the streets. Ruger action and reliability for Heritage Rough Rider price. I don't really love the finishes, but I understand that is where corners had to be cut to meet the price point.

Krdshrk 3,877 Posted April 19, 2019 When people talk about .22LR Revolvers, I see the S&W 617 mentioned... but that's a $700+ revolver just to shoot .22LR. If it's $150 street price, I'm definitely game. I could shoot CB Caps or CCI Quiet .22LR indoors without hearing pro potentially. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnut 2,358 Posted April 19, 2019 These things are going to sell like crazy as long as they dont suck. I'll wait till they hit the street and if they dont suck I'll get one. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted April 19, 2019 Maybe will push this video up first? The reason for this gun was that Heritage/Taurus was selling hundreds of thousands of these guys a year.... yet during testing Ruger found that most of them crap out after 5k rounds or so. Far less with 22 wmr cylinder. Ruger said they will only keep this 22lr as anything bigger is unsafe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you're a little low here - more like $200.00 - $225.00 is realistic......... 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am telling you what Ruger is expecting this to end up around. Straight from horses mouth. Is it worth $200 though? Yes. Once hype wears off will be under $200 and in the $175 range.

I can't speak for what Ruger told you, but Ruger posted an MSRP of $249.00 and based on what the distributors are setting dealer price at I don't think you'll see it at 175.00 (jmo) The only on-line seller to have it posted for sale (As a Pre-Order) has it listed at $199.00, so I expect Buds & KGC, ect. to fall in that line......

So it is quite possible... the folks I spoke with are the product managers and PR folks. They have also seen massive appeal for the gun and know, it will sell very very quickly. The Heritage arms is around $150 and that is precisely the price point that Ruger wanted to target... Distributors will absolutely get $200 for it and folks right now would easily spend $250 for it... I am focusing on the past hype rush, so looking 8 months down the road... they are targeting it as a sub $200 gun and it was manufactured for that price point and they can still make money there. Heck, even at full MSRP it is a really good value and the build quality. I shot a few hundred rounds through it and was quite impressed and everyone was happy with the finish on the gun. Just like the LCP and other ruger products... we all know perfectly well that the EFFECTIVE price will be under $200 once you factor in the buy 5 get 1 free deals and all.

W2MC 1,699 Posted April 19, 2019 Considering a Single 6 (now 10) is $699, and a Bearcat is $639 (MSRP); as long as this thing looks decent and shoots decent, it's going to be a home run... They need to follow it up with a renegade convertible in .38 special/9mm... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted April 20, 2019 So it's a 22 that you use and abuse and leave it dirty and loaded in a holster or backpack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Underdog 1,593 Posted April 20, 2019 This might be the perfect kit gun. I wanted to get a Ruger LCRx, but this might be a good buy, instead. What is Ruger's warranty on this? I wonder if it will take the Single Six grips... 30 oz is a little on the heavy side, though. Maybe they can design a break top one, next. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They say the difficulty in complying with laws of all the states makes them offer no warranty. However, if it breaks, they'll fix it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Underdog 1,593 Posted April 20, 2019 For less than 1/2 the price of a Single Six, though, it is a good deal. Still, an older 3 screw Single Six that has not been modified is the ticket.... How do these compare to the Bearcat in price and quality? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
