“bill ruger”

At its introduction, Ruger’s Mark IV .22 Long Rifle pistol was offered in two models and three SKUs. The Target model, available in black or stainless, is the all-business, utilitarian descendent of Bill Ruger’s Standard model rimfire. But for American Rifleman’s Joe Kurtenbach, it’s the Hunter model that truly captures the spirit of Ruger’s original, and capitalizes on the platform’s evolution.

As we approach the anniversary of the announcement of our independence, and the greatest upset in history, let’s take a look at the five most iconic American hunting rifle designs.

Perhaps the most opinionated argument of all time is, “What’s the best gun?” It all comes down to an unscientific determining factor known as “what I like.” That said, here are 10 firearms every hunter just has to have.

Chambered for the 7.62x39mm cartridge, the Ruger Mini Thirty is well suited to deer and similar-sized game in the same style of compact, handy rifle that the Mini-14 brought to the table.

What is it about the Ruger Model 77 that has been so appealing to hunters for half a century? It represents a great value, offering a no-nonsense design that is equally rugged and reliable.

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. has added three new models to its Wrangler line of single-action revolvers.

Over the century, Federal has risen to become one of the most dominant brands in the hunting ammo market. Here’s a look back at how it all happened.

If there were ever a classic rifle design—one that would go on to spawn innumerable copies—it is the Mauser 98. While the vast majority of American hunters rely upon the multitude of popular American bolt-action rifles, they owe a huge debt of gratitude to Paul Mauser’s turnbolt design.

The Super Wrangler is reliable, accurate and affordable. It may well be this generation’s best of the best for a “woods” gun and is an excellent rimfire handgun choice for any hunter.
