I'm proud of ya!  Savin' rain forests and American woodlands and swamps and critters are (is) important.  But NOT at the expense of common sense!  The PETA folks need to learn how the food chain really works ... as God intended.  (NOT that I   have an exclusive line on what the Big Guy means, don't ya know.  ;) )  They seem to forget that people are actually part of nature and that we're omnivores, NOT strictly herbivores, like some of God's critters!

     I just got home from a long day on a job site an guess what was waitin for me on the door step? 8)
     The quality of this shirt is incredible, but what else could we expect from anything with the Ruger monicker on it!  As stated by one of the other lucky winners it is dang near a jacket.  The recoil pad on the right shoulder is a very nice touch.  Thanks for the rush mail service, it really made my day.

Glad you like it.. They are great shirts.

Unfortunately I am now down to just the Large and Medium sizes... so some of you fellers might want to enter for your wives.
  ;) I wear the medium and it looks mighty purty on us gals.  :)

Guess I'm just lucky to have avoided those X's all these years.  People by me XL shirts as gifts and it's all I can do not to say, "thanks for the nightshirt".   :-\

      OK, M'ette, my wife is too busy showing dogs to shoot, but I'll enter my Grandson "Darn Near" for one of those shirts. He does like my Rugers better than the .22s he just graduated from last year. Now I have to reload twice as much.

F.H.
     My daughter, Litlle Miss, is now hooked on centerfire as well.  She looks at the old .22 like it's a BB gun-wants nothin to do with it anymore.  I'm proud but I sure miss those cheap 525 round boxes!

Okay,

I'll bite. My son would love a shirt. He is currently shooting a red pad M77 in .243 and took his first deer this last October. "I DROPPED him!" is still echoing through the mountains.

I have an OA stainless & NRV 5.5" blue that I love.

Decided I was going to get into the SASS/CAS arena a while back...Those that know me, will tell you, that if I'm gonna do it, I'll go all the way without hesitation...

Now mind you, I have a gun safe with multiple "other" Ruger items.

Went to a gun show here in East Texas..Started looking at the pistolas. I bet I passed up a dozen Rugers cause I was lookin for that click,click,click,click that pertains to other shootin irons.

Anyway, walked up and laid my hands on a case hardened, blue/black AWA. It was everything that a cowboy gun should be...

I played with. I loved on it, gave it all kinds of special attention....

Now remember I'm no stranger to Rugers....I took the AWA out to shoot and within minutes of firing shots out of it, I knew instantly that I had picked up the wrong gun...kinda like pickin the wrong woman...but that's another story.. ;)

The gun show came back to town...I took the AWA to the show...made an outright sale of the AWA and turned the cash into a brand new RNV 5.5 SS....it was love at first shot....

Well now that there are two pistols required for SASS/CAS I was left with a dilema..I had to find me another one...I did just that

now I'm sporting (in place of courting) twin sisters..and boy are they sweet..

Now there is one part of this story, that I haven't told...The AWA was bought for me, by my wife as birthday present.

When I made the call to buy the Ruger..I called her from the Gun show...and told her that I just couldn't see me not shooting the Ruger....she understood, and she understands me... ;)

so Marshall'ette..if'n there's a shirt somewhere there available, I'll be asking you to send one not to me, but to my loving and most graciously understanding wife...she deserves it. :)

and thanks for the opportunity... 8)

Leo,

Yep. I filled my first elk tag the week before, and I was not as pleased as when my son dropped this first deer. :D It's all about the memories.

Definatly Al.
     An when he moves on to elk it'll be another wonderful experience for the both of you.  Teachin him the difference in tracking an learning the patience that can last seasons rather than days due to the brains them things have.  The boys got the bug fer sure now an I think you have a hunting pard for life ;D

I own lotsa Rugers.  Love them for their performance, reliability, and value.  A Ruger was my first rifle (a 10-22 - still a favorite) and my first handgun (a 6" RSP.)  I currently own just one Ruger Single Action: a 7.5" Super Blackhawk in 44 Mag.  But, the Vaqueros in .357 are coming!

CF, you will not regret the purchase of those guns.  They shoot the .38s well so long as you adjust yer aim but there's jus somthin special about those three five sevens  8)
     Enjoy!
