Rifles

Although RGR's revenue growth may have grown nicely over the last two years, its stock price maxed-out on July 27, 2007. Obama triggered a sales surge immediately prior to his election in November 2008. As has been widely reported, rifles--both traditional and "assault" accounted for most of the growth area Ruger rode the wave. According to Ruger's 2009 10-k SEC filing, rifles racked up some $102.2 million, $69.4 million, and $64.9 million worth of sales in 2009, 2008 and 2007 respectively. And no wonder. Ruger makes some lovely "tactical" weapons: the M77 Hawkeye and the Mini-14 spring to mind.
