dear group,

i am particularly a ruger fan. my first gun being ruger 357/38 cal security
six in 6in barrel, stainless. due to its modular construction you can strip the
gun down in the field with a metal phillips screwdriver.
hammer, trigger group,yoke, cylinder comes apart to leave a solid frame
similar looking to a single action revolver when cylinder is removed.
also have the ruger mark 1 22cal auto. smooth accurate and trigger
very much worked in. 5 1/2 bull barrel.
if your thinking of purchasing a more expensive gun, as i wanted the smith/wesson model 41 22 target at 700.00 remember that the gun will always shoot better than the person holding it. glad i stuck to the ruger at 150.00 in
the early 80s

i am under the impression that only rifles 50 yrs and old are eligible for
C & R aquisition….does that apply to handguns also???????????

A lot of the pistols made by High Standard are also C&R eligible - check Gunbroker.com for some of them.

Ooops… Cold changed to Colt. One of those cases where my fingers typed something other than what my brain was thinking.

Try a Ruger Mark I and in bull barrel if you can find it - they shouldn’t be as costly as the Colt and they shoot great!

If you buy the Cold Woodsman you should wear gloves so as not to suffer frostbite. However if you get a Woodsman made by Colt’s you won’t have that problem.

Probably. Anything older than 50 years is considered C&R

ISTR seeing that some of the older Ruger .22s are C&R, no?

If it doesn’t have to be C&R, Browning Buckmarks are pretty cheap…
