Gun Descriptions

Ruger Bearcat

Understated Elegance. The Ruger New Bearcat is different from other single-action revolvers. Smaller, lighter, and based on older Remington single-actions of the 1800's, it has a one-piece cylinder frame that also forms its compact grip. It has been described as "a mechanical jewel," and is the smallest and lightest 22 LR caliber single-action made by Ruger. Compact and perfectly proportioned for 22 LR caliber ammunition, it is easy to carry and fits comfortably in a backpack or tackle box. Fulfilling the ideal of a smaller "kit gun" style 22 LR caliber single-action revolver, it is perfect for hikers, campers, boaters, small game hunters, or just about anyone who needs a dependable 22 LR revolver for the trail.

Ruger Wrangler

 The Ruger Wrangler offers all the enjoyment of a traditional six-shooter in a "budget-friendly" 22 long rifle revolver. Featuring a cold hammer forged 4.62-inch precision-rifled barrel and tough Cerakote finish, the Wrangler will provide generations of service, whether as a camp gun, casual plinker, or maybe even a little friendly competition at the range. The Wrangler is available in three finishes; Black, Silver, and Burnt Bronze, and provides unparalleled security with both a transfer bar safety and loading gate interlock. The perfect revolver whether it is your first or your next.   Specifications:  Capacity: 6 Barrel Length: 4.62" Cylinder Frame Finish: Black Cerakote Cylinder Frame Material: Aluminum Alloy Overall Length: 10.25" Weight: 30 oz. Twist: 1:14" RH Grooves: 6 Blade front and integral notch rear sights.  Chambered for affordable .22LR ammunition Transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock provide an unparalleled measure of security against accidental discharge.  Cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity.   Cerakote finish provides rugged reliability in all environments.  Checkered synthetic grips on a Single-Six pattern grip frame.
