Made By RUGER it looks like a sweet rifle for the low low price of $110.00 with a scope. I just wonder who or what kind of power plant it has in it. Say's 1000FPS but it seems they all say that now.If someone finds out who is making this rifle with the Ruger name on it please let us know. For $110 I may have to take a closer look Damn addiction is kicking again.I need therapy or another gun Oh well take a look and see what you think.

On the back of the box it says "Umarex USA". I searched the Umarex website for 'Ruger', but nothing came up, HMM.......... What's up with that? -Chris ________ VOLCANO CLASSIC Last edited by cjs on Fri Feb 11, 2011 5:45 pm; edited 1 time in total   Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 1:00 am AirGunEric Site Admin Joined: 20 Jan 2007 Posts: 6930 Location: "Out There" Umarex is obviously licensing the Ruger name. This doesn't necessarily mean Ruger has anything to do with the gun, its design or its production- just that they're getting paid royalties for letting their name be put on it. As for it not appearing on the Umarex website, I've noticed that Umarex isn't exactly the fastest in respect to updating its website- so this may not mean much, yet. _________________ ` I'd say "I care."

Say Al, does your Winchester also say "Made in Germany"? My Airmagnum does. Some Umarex products were made in Italy, and I recall that some of them are now produced in China. _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 12:06 pm 2RCHA Veteran Member Joined: 21 Feb 2007 Posts: 195 Location: The Big Smoke, Ontario Over here "Winchester" is made by "Daisy" so go figure,LOL,I guess they'll put their mark on whoever gives them the lowest bid. http://www.daisy.com/shopping/customer/home.php?cat=252 , I wonder who else makes Winchester product's all over the world, LOL, Andy. _________________ QB78-D w/Fitco 4-16x44CE 2x,XS B4-2a .177/.22 w/Fitco 3-9x40 XS B2-2a .22 w/Simmons 3-9x40 XS B9-1 w/AimPoint CompM2 TAC1 Extreme w/Tasco 3-9x40/Var,.

I called Ryan at Umarex and he said that this gun is made in China, NOT Germany as was posted on the Pyramyd Air website. I was thinking about being the guinea pig for this rifle and the Crosman Benji Discovery, but I think I may just be the Discovery guinea pig now. -Chris ________ HERBALAIRE REVIEW Last edited by cjs on Fri Feb 11, 2011 5:45 pm; edited 1 time in total 2RCHA About Winchesters   Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2008 6:02 pm BBGun Bob Veteran Member Joined: 29 Oct 2007 Posts: 474 Location: Michigan 2RCHA wrote: Over here "Winchester" is made by "Daisy" so go figure,LOL,I guess they'll put their mark on whoever gives them the lowest bid. http://www.daisy.com/shopping/customer/home.php?cat=252 , I wonder who else makes Winchester product's all over the world, LOL, Andy. The Winchesters are made in two different places for Daisy,the one with adjustable trigger is made in Brazil,the other with no adjustment on trigger is made in Turkey ,by Hatson.My cousin has one and it says right on the action Made In Turkey and it is a powerful rifle.Shoots in the 970's fps all day long.Its a bear to cock and really hammers ya with the recoil.His has destroyed two scopes so far.One was a 4X32 RWS scope and the other was a 4X32 CenterPoint both were air gun rated..

You are all talking about a different gun. The Walther/Umarex Lever Action Winchester 1894, if I recall correctly. And Lord! I gotta feeling, it ain't made in China! _________________ BIG GAP   Posted: Wed Jan 23, 2008 5:48 am Alstone Moderator & Site Supporter Joined: 01 Mar 2007 Posts: 4139 Location: Linconshire, ENGLAND broommaster2000 wrote: 2RCHA wrote: Over here "Winchester" is made by "Daisy" so go figure,LOL,I guess they'll put their mark on whoever gives them the lowest bid. http://www.daisy.com/shopping/customer/home.php?cat=252 , I wonder who else makes Winchester product's all over the world, LOL, Andy.

Hi Broom, the one I have got is made in Germany by Umarex. Also I gather that the carbine version in not available in the UK any more, whether it's still made or not I don't know?

The Drozd is also illegal because it looks like 4 guns in one. They really had to squeeze the law over that one. _________________ BIG GAP NEW GUN RUGER AIR HAWK $110.00     Air Gun Home Forum Index » General Air Gun Questions and Topics You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT - 5 Hours   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Main Forums----------------AirGunHome Q&AGeneral Air Gun Questions and TopicsPicture GalleryTarget Shooting: Casual, Fun and CompetitionHunting, Pest Control, Varminting People/Events/Airgun Issue Discussion----------------Introduce YourselfThe BS TopicClubs/Events/Regional/Political Airgun Issues Maintenance, Modification and Reviews----------------RiflesPistolsAntique, Collector and Novelty AirgunsBB GunsPellets/AmmoOpticsAccessoriesAirgun Smithing Buy, Sell or Trade Forums----------------For SaleWant to Buy   Note: If you are seeing "Please enter your username and password to log in."
