I haven't shot it much due to health and farm commitments, but mine shot fine. They aren't target guns but it was a good plinking gun. I bought it to let Tina haul it around to shoot varmints if she wanted. It's plenty accurate for that. What reading I have done suggests that accuracy was hit and miss, but the misses were still plinking accurate. The hits were very accurate.BigAl52 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 11:48 amHave you shot the Wrangler much Marine? Ruger has now come out with 6 and 7.5 inch barrels. Ive thought about one in the 6 inch model but I did a little youtubing on the 4 inch model and the accuracy of those wasnt all that greatBrokenolMarine wrote: ↑Sat Jan 28, 2023 11:27 amI have bought several in the last couple years. Four I bought from a friend at friend prices so those don't count. But, I bought a Ruger American Ranch Rifle in 556 and the Uberti Birdshead Single Action 357 from a large shop in OKC. They buy in bulk so they can sell at fair prices. They even sold ammo at comparatively reasonable prices. Just this year we also picked up a Kimber Micro 9 for Miss Tina and one of the new Ruger Wranglers from a smaller local shop here in S. Central OK. Their prices are more than fair. Their policy is to sell reasonable in hopes of making customers for life rather than try and make a one time sale.
On the flip side, when I was Looking for the Bolt gun, I shopped in the various gun shops up and down the highways in the area, between here and OKC and here and the Texas border while making my various trips to the VA Hospital and trips to my daughter's at the border. I saw prices for used guns higher than the guns cost new, and new guns at 150% markup with the shop owners saying, "Stock is too hard to come by these days." or "You just can't get these nowdays." I just let them keep them. I'm sure they sold them rather quickly. New ones and the used ones.
A lot of those shops were also marking up OLD stock, magazines, slings, gun cases, cleaning kits, everything they had... and making the same excuses.
My rule of thumb was if I was looking for an accurate 22 I grabbed a bull barreled Ruger Semi-Auto Mk II.
I had a tack driver and during a shuffle I was talked out of it by one of my young protege's shooting bullseye who couldn't afford a high end gun.
He shot it well enough to win at the local level.
