Southport, CT – -(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger &amp Company, Inc. (NYSE-RGR) is excited to announce the extension of the 2 Million Gun Challenge to Benefit the NRA – which is now the 2.5 Million Gun Challenge!

Between the 2015 and 2016 NRA Annual Meetings, Ruger met the challenge goal of selling two million new firearms, for a total donation of $4,000,000 to the NRA-ILA. Ruger CEO Mike Fifer and President/COO Chris Killoy presented Chris Cox, NRA-ILA’s Executive Director, with a check for $4,000,000 at the 2016 NRA Annual Meetings in Louisville, Kentucky.

“Ruger’s continued commitment to supporting the NRA-ILA is outstanding,” said NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris Cox. “The funds raised from this program will help us in both our fight to protect America’s Second Amendment and our effort to educate voters and get them to the polls this crucial election year.”

During the challenge period, one of the largest independent distributors of Ruger® firearms, Davidson’s / Gallery of Guns, also pledged to donate $1 for each new Ruger firearm they sold. Their effort added more than $350,000 to the NRA-ILA cause.

“We believe that everyone in our industry should stand united and fight to protect our Second Amendment rights,” said Davidson’s CEO and President Bryan Tucker. Mr. Tucker echoed the message of Chris Cox, noting that “Our participation in the Two Million Gun Challenge is one of the ways that we continue to support the NRA-ILA and show our leadership in defense of the American Constitution.”

Both Ruger and Davidson’s / Gallery of Guns have pledged to extend the challenge period through the end of October, to ensure continued support up until the election. Ruger’s goal is to sell another 500,000 new firearms – totaling $5,000,000 in donations to the NRA ILA for the 2015-2016 period.

Ruger CEO Mike Fifer commented, “With the support of our loyal consumers, we are not only able to make history again, but we also are showing our support of the NRA-ILA during this critical election year. I want to sincerely thank Bryan Tucker and the Davidson’s organization for joining us in this challenge. I hope others follow in their footsteps to create a level of support for our Second Amendment Rights and the NRA-ILA that is contagious,” Fifer concluded.

Ruger’s goal is to sell another 500,000 new firearms – totaling $5,000,000 in donations to the NRA-ILA for the 2015-2016 period.

when RUGER starts using FEDEX I will start ordering more things from RUGER but if the keep on delivering using UPS that keeps on loosing your orders I will stop ordering from RUGER because UPS stinks.

My first pistol was a Ruger Mark I and my first revolver was a Ruger Redhawk 7.5″ barrel with a dovetail barrel for scope mounts.

A few weeks ago I bought a Ruger 556 just for the heck of it before the CA ban goes into effect. However, I’m not biased I have many other brand names too. I do agree that Rugers “are the best guns you can buy at a decent price.”

@Norman, I know how you feel. I felt the same way. I waited months for my RPR. I got my order in within a minute after receiving an email notification.

Ok. I have been on the “list” for a new precision rifle for months now. If they want to sell another 500000, they might want to get the guns out there!

I did my share by buying a Ruger Precision Rifle this year.
