Ruger SP101 22LR pics

Not bad shooting for using that massive FO front sight.

Ruger done good with the dovetailed front sight. It should be an easy matter to swap out for something else. And I assume it's just a matter of time before we're seeing some nice aftermarket options.

They always need a trigger job and some attention to internals. Unfortunately, they are a bit of a pain being stainless.

Just as a note, if you are referring to Wolf .22 LR as being russian "match" ammo, it actually is very very good .22, and not russian, IIRC.

Wolf isn't a company by themselves, just an American importer. While most of their centerfire stuff comes from the Tula/Barnaul ammo plants in Russia, I believe their .22 is Finnish or some other origin. It is good stuff. Their 12ga bird shot is also quite good, and not russian, either.

This stuff isn't the WOLF 22LR that's available now. I bought this ammo probably close to twenty years ago. I have it all dumped loose in an ammo can now but I believe it came in a box marked "biathlon."

This Ruger SP101 in .22lr will be my next pistol. It has jumped to the top of my list of firearms I want. My last range trip out, I was shooting my Ruger MKII and a S&W model 66. I was discussing with a friend about how I would love to have a .22lr revolver. My friend was shooting his SP101 in .357 Magnum. I always enjoy shooting his SP101. Ruger has answered my prayers.

cool!
any word on pricing?

$531 with taxes, etc.

Sorry for bad lighting but i paid $359 for this Brand NEW in box
8 or 9 years ago and it's the .357



>$500 seems very steep for a .22 but if you can afford one i bet it
is going to last far longer than a few of us combined.

I could really see picking one of this up as a trainer. I think Ruger made a smart choice with this one.
