Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger firearms brand is synonymous with many things – exceptional single-shot falling blocks, superior bolt actions, well-built wheelguns, and rimfire pistols galore. But lever actions? Not many shooters associate the Sturm, Ruger & Co. logo with cowboy guns. Yet here we are, holding a Ruger Model Ninety-Six, or Model 96, one of multiple lever-driven rimfires and centerfires from days past. This numerically-named lever action refers directly to the year it was launched – 1996. Though produced for some 13 years, Ruger’s rimfire levers remain overshadowed. Collectors will also note the centerfire 96/44. The rimfires of our focus wear an 18.5-inch barrel topped with iron sights. The design feeds from Ruger’s recognizable rotary magazine platform. The stock, with lines similar to the famed 10/22 semi-automatics, is built of hardwood with a semi-pistol grip design. There’s even the expected front barrel band. While the 96/44 was set up for Ruger’s proprietary rings, the rimfire 96s accept standard equipment. The guns are lightweight and wieldy, with the overall measurement of 37.25 inches in length and the bare gun weighing 5.25 pounds.
