Just curious, what is the value of the Ruger? I really do not think you are comparing apples to oranges. You say the Ruger is well worn? In what ways? Do you need parts etc. I had a buddy that had one and Ruger would not repair it. Said it was too old. Offered him half off any other gun they carry. I do not know much about old Rugers but again, would love to see a Blue book price of one. You can pick up a nice shooting Heritage anytime for around $140.00 so in that respect I would say go with the Ruger.
