Rugers always sell 20-25% below MSRP and have for decades.I don’t understand - couldn‘t sell enough. There has always been and remains more demand than supply. However, Ruger should focus on an 1894 in 45. The 44 is selling below msrp on The street because of inaccuracy not demand.
The 336 classic isn’t; when you can find one. There is a .01 auction over $1700 on gun joker right now.Rugers always sell 20-25% below MSRP and have for decades.
That's a temporary situation due to availability and entirely besides the point. When the guns are commonly available, Rugers always go for 75-80% of MSRP.The 336 classic isn’t; when you can find one. There is a .01 auction over $1700 on gun joker right now.

Not really.that’s like the gas station joke - when we are out of gas we sell it for less too.
Wrong. They got too expensive to produce and sell at a profit. I have one.They've never sold enough of them to keep them in production.
You contradict yourself and confirm my post, lack of sales.Wrong. They got too expensive to produce and sell at a profit. I have one.
I can not comment on sales or lack thereof. All I know is that Bill Ruger claimed he couldn't make money on the first design; hence the re-design.You contradict yourself and confirm my post, lack of sales.
The first version was too expensive to produce because it had to be milled from steel billet. The 2nd version was compatible with investment casting and much less expensive to make. Neither version sold well enough to stay in the catalog.
What "common non-rotary mags" exist?If Ruger ever reintroduce it they'd be smart to make the receiver modular to enable for 44 mag, 357 mag, 10mm, 9mm and 30 carbine. And have it use common non-rotary mags. Of course this would never happen but it would be neat
Nonsense.Wrong. They got too expensive to produce and sell at a profit. I have one.
It's been that way with Winchesters as well..357s sells for more than .44. Which seems odd.
Had one in the early 80s, would love to have another.Who doesn’t already have a Ruger M44 Carbine? Mine is tube fed. Was on my list of things to sell this year. Getting out of the 44 magnum game.
I suspect that you may be forgetting about the concept of a rifle sling. If you're ready to shoot and stalk through undergrowth, you're carrying with two hands. If you're not ready to shoot, throw it behind your back.I really have a hard time conceptualizing hunting with something like this:
That's one option, if you're in an open area. In brushy areas, another is to carry it, in your hand. Like people have been doing for hundreds of years.I suspect that you may be forgetting about the concept of a rifle sling.

90% of my hunting is with the rifle in my hands. I like a sleek carbine like the little Ruger. Hardly ever use a sling.That's one option, if you're in an open area. In brushy areas, another is to carry it, in your hand. Like people have been doing for hundreds of years.
Nope, did not forget about the sling. All my hunting rifles have a sling. However the last thing I want in thick brush is a rifle barrel sticking up behind my back and out of my view or a large todger sticking out of the bottom. Both of those things are not conducive to efficient or stealthy movement. I much prefer carrying the rifle in my hand when moving through places like this:I suspect that you may be forgetting about the concept of a rifle sling.

Me too. I find myself using a sling less and less every year.90% of my hunting is with the rifle in my hands. I like a sleek carbine like the little Ruger. Hardly ever use a sling.
