Ruger Pump Shotgun

[kmrcstintn]

just a quick comment on their quality...I currently have a Ruger GP100 .357 mag revolver and a Ruger P95 9mm semiauto; until recently I owned a Ruger Security Six .357 mag revolver...no problems with any of them; Taurus products and me never got along and most likely will never get along...4 different .357 mag revolvers bought at different times...all of them suffered (timing went out on one of them, bad mainsprings on tw0 of them, and hammer alignment problems on the last one) :banghead::banghead:

Ever wonder why EVERYBODY is making an AR-15? It's because they are cheap to make. They were makin them every bit as good and dirt cheap back in the 60's. The RUGAR-15 is easilly as cheap to make as the Mini-14.

Well I guess you need to tell that to every AR manufacturer out there because not even the most basic sporter AR15 model has a MSRP of $600. Try to build a ruger 556 from parts and you will pay more than $1600, that troy stuff is pricey. Again you seem to pick Ruger out put them down for doing something that everyone else is doing. AR's do not cost $600 and have not for a while. You seem to have some sort of idea of how business is done, maybe you should start manufacturing piston AR15's with a nice troy quad and troy sight and the rest of the stuff and sell it for $600. I would buy one from you.

No one is a bigger Ruger fan than me, and I actually did get very excited at the prospect of a Ruger AR. My favorite .22 pistol, my favorite hunting rifles, my favorite centerfire pistols, my dream shotgun and even my favorite revolvers are all Rugers. Call me a fanboy if you must, but I personally am pretty brand loyal to Ruger. I mean, I am the same guy that has wanted a Ruger 1911 for literally years!

That being said, I don't know that I would jump on a Ruger pump shotgun. In a rare case of going against Ruger, I simply can't see why I would buy a different gun other than my 870. It's accurate, reliable, fits me like a glove and works smoothly. I love Ruger, but unless they can make a pump shotgun that does something noticeably better than my 870, I don't see the point.

You're confusing retail price/street price with the cost of manufacture. The AR-15 has a HUGE profit margin these days. It's cheap to manufacture and people are paying outrageous prices. Again, the reason that EVERYBODY is making one is that they can sell it for five or ten times the profit they get from virtually any other gun.

I posted this FACT as a way of comparison. The Pump Shotgun has comparatively little profit margin. People expect lower prices and have already got them.

Because if Ruger made shotguns, they would be as big as a canned ham and weigh almost a metric tonne. However they would work very well and be almost unbreakable. UNless the barrel fell off.

Browning already has a lock on that market niche.
