Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Thank you Ruger and all the other sponsors of EOT. Your contributions are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Fire, SASS 10064 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Ruger by far is the most used pistol in our sport. Now with their acquisition of Marlin we can again look for well made and factory backed rifles. they support SASS in many ways and deserve much appreciation.

Randy Saint Eagle, SASS # 64903 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Now if they’d just start making a good SxS shotgun! Thanks Ruger Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 They did and it wound up costing far more than anticipated. Sold very poorly and it was discontinued fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Hunter SASS #20389L Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Yep, $3,500 for a stock Ruger SASS shotgun was a little above the norm for us. Think they were only made for a couple of years 18-20 years ago. A friend of mine has one and I shot a couple of rounds of skeet with it recently. It patterned with the right barrel shooting center to right of center and the left barrel from center to left of center. Had to think about the leads depending on which barrel you were using. I didn't score very good with it but it is a well made shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sold very poorly and it was discontinued fairly quickly. I have two friends in Ruger who worked on the engineering of this shotgun, it turned out to be to expensive to sell once they made the first couple, I have spoken a number of times with one of the senior salesmen about a SASS shotgun but he has told me Ruger doesn’t see a profit point for the few SxS they believe they would sell, there is far more money in their semi auto pistols and rifles and their new Marlin line. It is a shame though because I did get to handle one of those shotguns once and it was a sweet gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 At WR several years ago Ruger had a tent set up displaying pretty much every revolver they had. Talk about eye candy! Being able to handle every Ruger revolver made was a treat. The Ruger reps there were knowledgeable and friendly. Twas a great display! Thanks, Ruger!

Certainly agree about the reps! Tried to talk them into selling their SFAR in 308 but no go. Said how about a scout rifle in 308? Still no go so I bought a hat!
