Introducing the classic and distinguished Sturm Ruger Model Ninety-Six, a lever-action rifle that seamlessly combines the charm of old-world craftsmanship with the innovation of modern firearm design. Manufactured by the esteemed American firearm maker, Ruger, this model is a rare gem from their 1996 collection, marking the company's successful foray into lever-action rifles.
In very good condition, this rifle shows only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. The minor blemishes at the bottom of the stock add to its character, enhancing instead of diminishing its appeal. Included in this sale are one 25-round magazine and a 10-round magazine, ensuring you'll have ample rounds for either a hunting trip or a day at the range.
The Ruger Model Ninety-Six is known for its lever-action mechanism, a design that harks back to the classic western-style shooting experience but with a modern touch. The blued finish not only provides a protective layer but also gives the rifle a sleek and timeless aesthetic. Its walnut stock with a synthetic butt plate is comfortable to hold, bringing an element of ergonomic design to this traditional firearm.
One of the key features of this model is its generous ammunition capacity. With the ability to hold up to 25 rounds in the magazine plus one in the chamber, it ensures a prolonged shooting experience before the need for a reload. Moreover, it's not just about quantity but also quality. The front drift adjustable blade with a brass insert and the rear adjustable flip-up with a U notch and white triangle highlight make for precise and accurate shooting.
This rifle, being a first-year production model, is not just a firearm, it's a piece of history. Owning it would mean owning a classic representation of Ruger's dedication to superior craftsmanship, robust design, and reliability. Whether you're a small game hunter or a target shooting enthusiast, the Ruger Model Ninety-Six with its .22 LR caliber offers a shooting experience that is both smooth and accurate.
