Law of the State of Delaware (the &ldquo;DGCL&rdquo;) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors, officers, employees

and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to
criminal actions or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. The DGCL also allows for the indemnification
of such persons in derivative actions under certain circumstances. The Registrant&rsquo;s certificate of incorporation and bylaws
obligate the Registrant to indemnify the Registrant&rsquo;s directors, officers, employees and other agents to the extent and under
the circumstances permitted by the DGCL and other applicable law. In addition, each indemnitee also has the right to be paid by
the Registrant for the expenses incurred (including attorney&rsquo;s fees) in connection with any action, proceeding or suit in
advance of the final disposition of such action, proceeding or suit upon delivery to the Registrant of an undertaking by or on
behalf of such indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from
which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant or authorized
by law. The Registrant maintains liability insurance for the benefit of its officers and directors (subject to certain exclusions
and limitations) against certain liabilities. The Registrant has also entered into individual indemnification agreements with its
directors.</P>

liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by
a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed

&amp; Company, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the &quot;Company&quot;), in connection with the proposed registration by the Company
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &quot;Act&quot;), of 750,000 shares (the &quot;Shares&quot;) of the Company's
Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the &quot;Common Stock&quot;), pursuant to the Company's 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the
&quot;Plan&quot;) and a registration statement on Form S-8 (the &quot;Registration Statement&quot;) filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the &quot;Commission&quot;) on the date hereof.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 1in">In rendering this opinion we have examined
or are otherwise familiar with the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended to date, the Plan, the Registration
Statement and the minutes of the corporate proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the authorization of the Shares.
We have also examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to us, of the corporate records of the Company,
certificates of public officials and representatives of the Company, and such other documents and records, and have made such investigations
of law, as we have deemed necessary for purposes of this opinion. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity
to the original of all copies and the factual accuracy of all certificates submitted to us.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 1in">On the basis of the foregoing, we are of
the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when issued
in accordance with the terms of the Sturm, Ruger &amp; Company, Inc. 2017 Stock Incentive Plan at prices in excess of the par value
thereof, will constitute duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 1in">We express no opinion as to any laws other
than the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the federal laws of the United States of America.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-indent: 1in">We hereby consent to the filing of this
opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category
