Smaller, lighter, and based on older Remington® single-actions of the 18's, the Ruger® New Bearcat® has a one-piece cylinder frame that also forms its compact grip. It has been described as "a mechanical jewel," and is the smallest and lightest .22 LR caliber single-action made by Ruger. Compact and perfectly proportioned for .22 LR caliber ammunition, it is easy to carry and fits comfortably in a backpack or tackle box. The New Bearcat features a decorative, unfluted cylinder, blade front and notch rear sights, and the patented Ruger transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock for protection against accidental discharge.
