Down here they dont last long, any good used 96 model 22lr 22m or 44 the buyers want them so the market price is climbing. I seen it go from $6-700 to $12-1500 in last 3-4 years.

I wonder if they go for that much up here in Wisconsin. I have 3 sitting side by side in my cabinet a .22 (my first rifle ever), .22M and the .44M (first deer rifle)

By the recent sales price that's about $3500 worth and they'd be gone in day.
No wait US OZ dollar conversion to you brings it down to about $3200

I own a 96/44 and a 96/22M. I love them both and would not part with either.

That Makes me smile..

I've always wanted the .17 to complete the collection

To me the 96 44 always seemed like the recoil was more than a comparable marlin so I sold mine to a friend who wanted one. Also ruger box mag will not handle as long a round as marlin so I cannot use some of my favorite 300 grain 44 mag handloads in it.

I bought a 96/22 about 4 years ago. It had a terrible trigger. Sent it to TT Shooter and now it's a lot better. Good little plinking gun. Don't like the way the lever has to be part way down to get the magazine out. Like the 39's better.

Good job gettin that trigger fixed and yeah why does that lever need to be down a fraction to reload its is annoying.

I need one too and a 44mag but really they not be more than safe queens,,,, still always a looking.

Marshal Ruger

I am sure hoping that Ruger will start producing lever action guns again especially for cowboy action shooting. Would really enjoy having one in 38 Special / 357 Magnum or 44 Special / 44 Magnum or in 45 LC. Is there anyone else here that is involved with Single Action Shooting Society that feels the same?

I will be keeping my eye out. I did answer the Ruger survey here recently and mentioned just this fact about reintroducing the Lever Action Rifles.

I would love to see Ruger come out with a 38/357 and 45 lever gun for cowboy action shooting as well. They dominate the single action market, you think they would like to expand that catagory. And, throw in a pump action cowboy model shotgun as well...

They also make the 96/22lr, i just picked one up!

2296mag

Then enjoy yer shootin its a great fun gun

Thought they quit making the 96/22. Bought one new a few years ago. Trigger was heavy and gritty. Sent the trigger group to TT Shooter for his trigger job and it's much better.
