The Super Single-Six is an adjustable-sight upgrade within the Single-Six line, and this Old Model (three-screw) example represents the classic pre-1970s Ruger action. Its SC5 catalog designation confirms the 5.5-inch barrel configuration, pairing handy length with a full-size sight radius for precise shooting.
This convertible ships with the Ruger factory .22 WMR cylinder, giving you two-caliber flexibility alongside .22 LR. The extra cylinder is housed in the correct white "Fitted Extra Cylinder for Single-Six" carton, a desirable detail for completeness and provenance.
Construction pairs a steel cylinder frame, barrel, and fluted cylinder with an aluminum-alloy XR3-RED grip frame and trigger guard; the steel components wear a gloss blued finish and the alloy parts are anodized to match. It wears smooth wood grip panels with Ruger medallions, and uses a round ejector-rod housing capped by the classic button-style ejector head.
Sighting equipment consists of an adjustable square-notch rear and a ramped front, set up for fine-tuning elevation and windage. The left frame is marked "RUGER .22 CAL SINGLE-SIX" with the Ruger phoenix logo, and the 60- prefix aligns it with the Super Single-Six series during the Old-Model era.
Made in 1969 in the United States, this revolver retains the hallmark features of the Super Single-Six line: a six-shot fluted cylinder, steel barrel and frame, and the Old-Model three-screw layout that collectors seek.
