Overview & Historic Appeal

Ruger has a long-standing reputation for durable, mechanically sound firearms. The New Model Single Six line earned its place among shooters for consistent action, straightforward maintenance, and classic single-action operation. This specific unit — manufactured in 1975 and offered under SKU-25100038 — preserves that heritage while including practical extras: an additional cylinder and leather holster for immediate use or customization.

Condition Details and Practical Notes

Careful inspection reveals a small scratch on the right grip and minor bluing wear on the left barrel side. These are cosmetic and consistent with age; the barrel is clear and the bore remains in good condition. Weight is listed at 3.48 lbs with packaging noted as BOX: L3/other. These specifics matter for collectors tracking provenance and for shooters who care about handling and balance.

Range Use and Versatility

With an extra cylinder included, you gain flexibility for loading configurations or spare rotation during extended range sessions. The leather holster allows safe carry and adds to the vintage presentation, enhancing both function and display value.
