Ruger Wrangler

[DrewN]

I loved my Bearcat like no other gun ever probably, but once I went K22 I was hooked. I don't really care if a plinker has an authentic action, I just want it to be fun and easy and look cool.

Can someone explain to me why 22 single action revolvers cost so much less than double action? What is so different in the manufacturing process that has them going for 3x as much?

[crufflers]

Interesting that it weighs the same (30 oz.) as my SP-101 8-shot .22 in all stainless. I wonder where the weight is?

They don't. At least not in Ruger's pricing scale. Vaqueros are in the same price range as GP-100s.

Turner's does have the Rough Rider on sale at $129.98 this week. That is approximately 38.47% more for the Ruger Wrangler at $179.98 price.

Here is a overview of someone actually having both the RR and RW:


So far the few reviews out, looks good to go at the price. I think I am in as well, it will be a cool change of pace from my 617. I am not a revolver persons, so it sure beats getting a Single-6/10 for $500+.

Priced right for sure, would be nice if they included a .22WMR cylinder

I agree, Ruger needs to come out with a Convertible (.22LR/.22WMR) version.

Going in to pre-order one from Turners today. Can't decide on the color.

22 Mag would be sweet. Cool offering though.

[Staticsouls]

Preordering mine tomorrow. I think I will go bronze on this one. Turners says end of May, hope it come the day before or after my son is born.

First to pick up and shoot it please report back. I'm eager to get your insight.

There's a pop up on goggle about this gun. The black one looks nice, I'm liking the burnt bronze. Maybe one of each.

This is much nicer than my Rough Rider, however, it cost twice as much. If I were to do it again I would buy the Wrangler, no doubt better quality and probably a great 22lr revolver. What I do like about my Rider is for a $100 I really don't care what happens to it, and it's really accurate.

I preordered a bronze one today. I told my wife about it and she said "Let me get it for you."

The guys at Turner's said Bronze is the most popular color.

I love Ruger SA revolvers and own several. No manufacturer holds a candle to their durability. They really do strike the balance between durability and quality at the right price.

I ordered a bronze one at Turners. I chose the bronze to bring some light into the darkness of all the tactical black firearms in my safe. After tax and DROS, it's was $229.83 OTD.

I challenge anyone here to name a NEW (not a great used deal) revolver that can rival a Wrangler that is, of similar quality at the same price.

My NAA mini cost more than a Wrangler, and it handles CCI Stingers! The wrangler will be a peach to shoot. The wrangler will also be the revolver you keep for self defense when age catches up to you and you can no longer tolerate a centerfire caliber. I can't wait for mine.

Ended up going with black. If the cylinders were the same color as the frame I would have considered burnt bronze or silver.

Mine came out to $193.XX after tax, will have to pay $30 for dros once it comes in. They wouldn't let me pay the dros ahead of time.
