The Sturm Ruger Model New Bearcat in .22 LR is a stunning representation of exceptional craftsmanship and nostalgic American firearm aesthetics. Manufactured in 2018 by Sturm, Ruger & Co., a leading firearm manufacturer since 1949, this model is a revival of the iconic Ruger Bearcat's smaller frame introduced in 1958, offering a blend of history and modernity. In excellent condition, with slight signs of any prior use or handling, this revolver mirrors the classic styling of Civil War-era Remington revolvers.
The single-action-only (SAO) mechanism, a characteristic feature of this firearm, allows the trigger to perform a single action: dropping the hammer. This feature enhances the shooting experience by providing the satisfaction of manually cocking the hammer for a more traditional feel. The revolver is lightweight and accurate, with blade front and integral notch rear sights, making it perfect for target shooting.
The revolver's unique appeal lies in its decorative unfluted cylinder, which displays a rollmark with a bear and cougar design, making each piece unique. This intricate detail not only makes it a conversation starter but also enhances its value as a collector's piece. The satin stainless finish of the gun increases durability and resistance to rust, ensuring longevity of use. The cold hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy, further cementing the gun's reputation for quality.
The revolver's capacity is 6 rounds, typical for revolvers, offering reliability and ease of use. The .22 LR caliber also ensures affordable shooting, allowing for regular range visits without straining your wallet. Included in the sale is the original case and owner's manual, ensuring secure storage and adding to the collector's value of the firearm.
With the Sturm Ruger Model New Bearcat .22 LR, you're not just purchasing a firearm; you're investing in a piece of American history with unparalleled quality, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
