0

Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. is proud to announce the 50th Anniversary Ruger Bearcat revolver, commemorating the small frame, single-action revolver William B. Ruger, Sr. once described as “a mechanical jewel.”

“We have strived to make our special limited edition 50th Anniversary New Bearcat a faithful and worthy tribute to its humble 1958 forebearer,” said Ruger President Stephen L. Sanetti. “It has plain but handsome cocobolo wood grips, a gold-colored trigger guard, and a special gold-filled rollmark “50th Anniversary BEARCAT – 2008”. It also has a special serial number prefix, and will only be manufactured in 2008.”

The blued, limited edition 50th Anniversary New Bearcat also features two gold bands and a gold-filled “RUGER BEARCAT” rollmark on the cylinder. The 4-inch barreled revolver, chambered for the popular and inexpensive 22 LR cartridge, will be shipped in a new gun rug bearing the Ruger logo, together with a detailed history booklet.

The special limited-edition 50th Anniversary New Bearcat joins the ranks of the 50th Year Ruger .357 and .44 Commemorative Blackhawk New Model single-action revolvers, issued in 2005 and 2006 respectively.
