Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) proudly donated $24,000 to the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation (SSSF), an organization dedicated to educating youth about the shooting sports. Ruger's donation was raised through auctions on GunBroker.com from September through December, 2022.
Since 2010, Ruger has worked with the popular firearms auction website GunBroker.com to auction off rare, unusual, discontinued or one-of-a-kind Ruger® firearms. Ruger donates all proceeds from these auctions to charities, with just under $900,000 raised and donated thus far.
"Supporting organizations like the SSSF is vital to our industry," commented Ruger President and CEO, Chris Killoy. "We are excited to continue our support of the SSSF in its mission to provide educational and developmental opportunities to young people interested in the shooting sports while giving loyal Ruger customers the chance to bid on one-of-a-kind Ruger firearms."
Firearms sold to benefit the SSSF included a .308 Winchester caliber Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle and an M77® Mark II International in 6.5x55mm.
