I've got one and so far I really like it! I've only shot it a hundred times or so but seems reasonably accurate and tough as nails, as are all Rugers. To me, they feel much superior to a Heritage.

been asking at my local dealers , no one has them yet here.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I have examined all three varients at Murdoch's - a farm and ranch supply store chain here in Montana. They were pretty reasonably priced but I haven't purchased one.

Haven't seen one yet, but the average asking price at retailers is $200.

Just curious but why not available in MN or Mass.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

This gun had been advertised for a few months now, just wondering if anyone who pre-ordered actually got one yet? I've been considering putting in for one, but I'm on the fence about putting the money down and waiting an unknown amount of time.
I thought they might have more in stock before this fall, but so far it doesn't look that way. I've seen a few online retailers advertising prices as low as $160 with free shipping. If you can shop around and find a decent priced FFL, that's pretty reasonable.
I like the look of the burnt bronze model. Isn't the MSRP according to the original releases at 249? Reviews on accuracy have been rough. Off a bench was alright but freehand the sights caused issues from reviewers.

I like revolvers that have adjustable sights like my ruger single six convertible.And all my other ruger revolvers for that matter.

SNIPERBBB, yes MSRP is $249, but generally speaking that's the top end of what you'll actually pay. I saw some retailers online as low as $160 with free shipping. Just gotta pay the FFL fee on top of that. Trapset, no there isn't a .22 mag cylinder available for it. I'm not too worried about accuracy as I'll be using it on the trapline for point blank shots. Yes I know a rough Rider will do the same thing for half the price, but I like the look of the Wrangler better and it's my wife's money, I can spend it however she lets me

I've found a couple places that have the black and silver models in stock, but no burnt bronze. If anyone sees a burnt bronze model in stock, I'd appreciate a heads up!
Edit: well I did some more looking and found one not too far away at a Fleet Farm, so I ordered it. I also saw the Bud's Gun Shop website has them in stock if anyone else is looking for one. I'll hopefully have it before this weekend and get to put a bunch of rounds through it and report back if anyone is interested.
I'm excited, I've been wanting one since I saw the press release announcing their introduction.
