Ruger has made so many products I love. The American is the most fun you can get for your buck. The Precision Rifle contributed heavily to the scaling up of long distance precision shooting. And on and on. Love Ruger products.
I don’t do this intentionally but when I stop and think about it my favorite guns are ruger’s. The m77 is absolutely legendary, the American provides great vale and their revolvers are great.
Listened to this podcast on my phone today. Came to see the elk picture, and the Ruger engineers. Good listen it was. Never realized that cold hammering could produce barrels to that tolerance. My first handgun was a Ruger 357 Blackhawk.
I am an avid Ruger fan. Countless pistols and rifles are in our gun cases proudly. We bought a little purple SR-22 for my youngest daughter to shoot, and some of my favorites are our GP100 in .357, M77 MKII in 25-06 and 7 Rem Mag, my American Predator in .243, and last but not least my Hawkeye LRT in 6.5 PRC. I would say half of my gun collection are Rugers and still have a few on the want list. My next ones will be a 16" SFAR in .308 so i can surpress it and not be unwieldily and the carbine in 45. Thanks guys for coming on the show and taking about what y'all do.
Nice interview! I can relate, first rifle Hawkeye in 270 win, process engineer in my past as well as a current design Mechanical Engineer. Two iconic American companies!
Another great show, I'm enjoying these guests from other companies. Lucky enough to have a Ruger/Marlin 1895 Trapper (45-70). My first lever gun and it is a pleasure to shoot and so much fun at the range. I've been using the two Hornady Leverevolution loads while I build up my brass supply, both good rounds and I will be reloading with the 325 gr FTX
My first gun was a ruger 10/22, I love as much today as the day I got it, lots of friends and family have learned on the gun, thousands of rounds have go through it.
Have had a lot of Ruger’s over the last 30+ years, love their M77’s. Especially 204 Ruger VT model, until burnt out the barrel. Great episode. Thanks 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I have been long suggesting to anyone who will listen , take advantage of the faster twist rates for heavy for caliber hunting bullets. The two places I have started seeing it is that one Australian company that is renowned in Africa and that American company who offers only 3 designs but are also renowned in Africa. Both are offering very similar solid designs . One is capped one is not. I think Hornady should take that basic form and make it into a lead core protected point expander . In the same length as a .224 75 grain eld or old A max , you can make a 100+ grain bullet. Using super-formance propellant, you could easily get 2750 fps from a 5.56 with 20 inch barrel. Alot of folks won't ever be able to utilize a hunting bullet made for 400 yards and further , but most of us could use one that has a high sectional density and high weight for caliber with moderate b.c. to use out to 300-500 yards, cartidge depending .
I love Ruger and Hornady. Killed my biggest whitetail with my dad's Ruger M77 built in 81. My first handgun was a Ruger SBH 10.5" 44. Traded it through a SBH 4 ⅝, then a SRH Alaskan 44, now a SBH 7 ½. Craig Boddington made me fall in love with the No. 1 and I love mine in .375 H&H. As for Hornady, my Service Rifle sees nothing but Hornady 75BTHPs and ELD-Ms.
My go to hunting rifle is the Ruger Hawkeye hunter in 300 rcm that I purchased in 2009. Sorry that that round did not achieve the popularity it should have. But I have reloaded for over Fifty years and stocked up on 300 rcm brass.
Here's an idea for a great podcast. Reloaders need to know what the "True Data" is for the humidity percentage number or the minimum and maximum numbers are for powders and should be kept in while open and exposed in the loading area. Also storage short and long-term. Reloaders have been talking about this for the last few years now. Some folks are starting to notice that some of the issues with velocity are humidity related. Starting to become something that should be a exact control point for loads. Please get us some "True Data" numbers from the powder manufacturers that maintains the REAL reloading data for the velocities in the manuals. The Basic store in a " Dry And Cool Place" isn't cutting it anymore !
I hope Ruger continues to support the lefthanded shooter in the rifles they offer, and increases the product offering as well (ie - stainless versions and more options)
Wow, I have been to Grand Island, NE about 5 or 6 times in the last 14 years, the most interesting thing I saw there was the Kool Aid Museum, I feel ripped off now.🤦♂
I have to disagree on the Americans being in cartridges for anyone. No Roberts 6.5x55 7x57 250/3000 etc etc. Still waiting on the precision in 06. I do like Rugers though.. Have or had a good number of them. Good Show. God Bless All
20 years ago, yes, once a Ruger fan and owner of 3 rifles, but now I am a Ruger hater. Short-cuts and poor QA along with killing the Ruger 77/22 and Marlin 60 means that CZ and others get my business from now on. No more Ruger.
Ruger has always been a 'spray and pray' kinda manufacturer. Pretty much send it out to world and if it comes back we will deal with it kinda attitude. Seems to be working for them. Never ever buy and revolver nor a bolt action rifle without inspecting the actual item in person. Just need to realize different manufacurers employ different strategies so one can make informed decisions on what to purchase from who... Having said all this, I must admit ruger factory barrels are the best in factory category, even better than some so called custom barrel makers out there
Cz has done the same thing. The 452 and 527 were awesome, the replacements were to cut costs. I have had to send back firearms to both companies. Ruger had it back crazy fast like 10 days and cz was several weeks. I stripped a screw on a ruger the replacement was free and had it in a few days. CZ site set screw stripped (a known problem) and the replacement never arrived.

Really enjoyed this show. Thanks for having the Ruger guys on it. Learned a ton

Got a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor that is, hands down, the best shooting rifle I’ve ever owned. Thanks to Ruger for a great product!
Same here I've had my RPR gen II in 6.5 CM for a few years now, but it still shoots great.

This one needs more views. I wasn’t expecting to hear about the barrel work but it’s a good hot topic. Especially in gas guns

Thanks for sharing
Another great, informative interview…first weapon I bought was a Ruger Single six in early 80’s.
I still have my first pistol, Security Six.

That is one reason that tikka and Ruger Americans are known to shoot so well. Chf.

hey Ruger where are the Left hand models for the American and Precision rifles
There out there. I picked up a left hand American in 6.5 Creedmoor for my boy.
@stevecarpenter98 I mean the american gen 2 when they came out in December last year they said the left hand model would ne out by spring still 0 made
@@Perry2186 I'm sorry to hear that.
Good show, it would be interesting to tour the plant to see how a firearm is made from start to finish.
Great podcast!
Much appreciated!
The most coveted rifle in my safe, is my M77 mk2 in 25.06
It's a killa 😁
Fun Cartridge Choice! 👍
great show love my ruger american and my hornady ammo

Same. Shoot tikka lh but hate saftey system
@@travissmith-wz5nc I shoot mostly Rem 700’s in LH. I do have one X-Bolt LH. Would like to add a Ruger.
@rogercarlton4385 wish these companies would use 24 inch barrels on 30 06 size and above cases
Bring the Marlin model 60 back! My wife loves her 20g Red Label wish Ruger still made them.
🗽 Happy 4th Everyone! 🥳
hi, A great video. I wish you had spent time with accuracy questions. Barrel type vs - chambers- mathing the bullet/ cartridge to the chamber etc
Wow, I have been to Grand Island, NE about 5 or 6 times in the last 14 years, the most interesting thing I saw there was the Kool Aid Museum, I feel ripped off now.🤦♂
Light on sign Hummmm the Boss Maybe. So don't blame ya..😂😂😂😂
I enjoyed this one okay, but I kind of wish Seth would have let the Ruger guys talk a little more. I'm sure they have a lot of interesting input.
👍👍👍❤❤
Disappointed in the fact that ruger doesn't offer a Hawkeye in 270 win anymore. Looks like a M70 Super Grade with a 24" barrel for me.
Is ruger going to chamber the 22 creedmoor
I have to disagree on the Americans being in cartridges for anyone.
No Roberts 6.5x55 7x57 250/3000 etc etc.
Still waiting on the precision in 06.
I do like Rugers though.. Have or had a good number of them.
Good Show.
God Bless All
One of the things to improve is to get on topic faster. The intro is enough to put me to sleep, so I miss the rest of the vid.
Ruger guys 26” RPR 7 prc please.
i own 5 RUGER RIFLES
😁 The Smartest Engineers, Like Patrick Here, Will Pick a 270 Winchester As Their "1 Gun Solution"! 😜

Ruger still makes the 77/22
They stopped for a while but it’s been back for years.
