Per Ruger's website, the Wrangler is made at their Prescott AZ factory. The rest of the single actions are made in New Hampshire. So no, it's not the same people assembling them. Count me in the "you get what you pay for" camp. Personally I would never buy a Wrangler. I really enjoy my Single...

Ruger is the largest manufacturer of guns in the US. They are not perfect, and some do have issues, so you will see some people pop up with issues just due to the sheer number of Rugers sold. But to say "they tend to sell lemons" is not correct at all. I've bought six of them myself in the past...

CZ discontinued the 550 because they were too expensive to manufacture, and that is with cheaper Czech labor rates. As far as the Hawkeye, I have a blued/walnut Hawkeye in .30-06, made in 2021, that I think is quite nice for the money - but I only paid $875 USD for it. The rough cast surfaces...

GP100/SP101 barrels are machined from "outsourced blanks" then button rifled. See here: I'm pretty sure the "outsourced blanks" are forgings, since as you note machining that barrel profile from round stock doesn't make sense and if they were castings they would be done in house. Since they...

SP101/GP100 barrels aren't made from castings (nor are any Ruger barrels that I'm aware of) so unless the frame itself failed the cast vs. forged argument doesn't apply here.

Ruger is a public company so you can look at their financials, they have $0 long term debt and purchased Marlin in cash. In my opinion, of the major firearms manufacturers Ruger is the best positioned right now because of how broad their product line is. Even after the past two years of panic...

I've bought two new S&Ws (63 and 686+) in the past few months and neither has a canted barrel. These were internet purchases too, so it's not like I was in the gunshop sorting through hundreds to find the few that managed to avoid the canted barrel fairy ;)
