Ruger &amp; Company, Inc.</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">This is the Conflict Minerals Report of Sturm, Ruger &amp;
Company, Inc. (&ldquo;Ruger&rdquo;) for calendar year 2017 (&ldquo;Reporting Period&rdquo;) in accordance with Rule 13p-1 (&ldquo;Rule
13p-1&rdquo;) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Rule 13p-1 and Form SD require the disclosure of certain information if
a company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products in which certain &ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo; (as defined below)
are present and necessary to the functionality of such products. &ldquo;Conflict Minerals&rdquo; are defined as cassiterite, wolframite,
columbite-tantalite, gold, and their derivatives, which are tin, tungsten, and tantalum (&ldquo;3TG&rdquo;) mined in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo and in the adjoining countries (&ldquo;Covered Countries&rdquo;). This report has been prepared by management
of Ruger, and includes the activities of all divisions, which we are required to consolidate.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">Ruger is one of the nation&rsquo;s leading manufacturers
of rugged, reliable firearms for the commercial sporting market. The only full-line manufacturer of American-made firearms, Ruger
offers consumers over 400 variations of more than 30 product lines. For more than 60 years, Ruger has been a model of corporate
and community responsibility. Our motto, &ldquo;Arms Makers for Responsible Citizens,&rdquo; echoes the importance of these principles
as we work hard to deliver quality and innovative firearms. Ruger has been in business since 1949 and was incorporated in its present
form under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1969. Ruger&rsquo;s principal executive office is located in Southport, CT, and
its manufacturing facilities are located in Mayodan, NC, Newport, NH, Prescott, AZ and Earth City, MO.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">The process outlined in this Conflict Minerals Report describes
Ruger&rsquo;s efforts to comply with the mandates of Rule 13p-1.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0"><B>RCOI/Due Diligence Process</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">Ruger conducted a good faith Reasonable Country of Origin
Inquiry (&ldquo;RCOI&rdquo;) relating to 3TG contained within its products. This good faith RCOI was designed to determine whether
any 3TG used in Ruger products originates in the Covered Countries and/or comes from recycled or scrap sources.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">Ruger does not directly source any 3TG and is many levels
removed from the mining, smelting, and refining processes. We therefore have very limited influence over these upstream suppliers.
As a result, Ruger relies upon its direct suppliers to obtain information regarding the origin of any 3TG that is contained within
Ruger&rsquo;s products, including where possible, the smelters of the 3TG. Similarly, many of Ruger&rsquo;s suppliers depend on
their suppliers for this information. Ruger&rsquo;s report is limited by the information regarding the source of 3TG provided by
its suppliers. Ruger does not purchase raw ore or unrefined 3TG and makes no purchases in the Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">As the first step in the good faith RCOI, Ruger worked
to identify suppliers which were potentially providing materials and components that contain 3TG. This list has been refined over
the last several years, and was further refined in 2017. Ruger reached out to each identified supplier and: (i) described the reporting
obligations imposed by Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; and (ii) requested information
regarding the presence and sourcing of 3TG used in the materials and components supplied to the Company during the Reporting Period.
Suppliers were asked to provide this information through the use of the most recent EICC/GeSI Conflict Minerals Reporting Template.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">Ruger engaged further with suppliers, as needed, to ensure
that the request was understood and complied with. Ruger then compared the smelters and refiners identified in the supply-chain
survey against the list of smelter facilities which have been identified as Conflict Free by programs such as the EICC/GeSI Conflict
Free Smelter program for 3TG. To the extent that additional information was required, Ruger followed up with various suppliers
and sought additional detail.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">After conducting a good faith inquiry, Ruger has been unable
to identify all smelters and refiners in its supply chain and the source of any 3TG that may appear in its products. The majority
of Ruger&rsquo;s suppliers have reported to Ruger that the materials they provide to Ruger either derive from recycled sources
or do not contain 3TG that originates in the Covered Countries. A small number of suppliers have been unable to obtain 100% compliance
from their supply chain, and therefore have not been able to provide complete responses. However, the information they provided
does not appear to indicate that any of the materials these vendors supply to Ruger is derived from 3TG which originates in the
Covered Countries.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 10pt 0 0">Based upon the incomplete information received from its
supply chain, Ruger has no reason to believe that any of the materials contained within its products contains 3TG which originates
in Covered Countries. Ruger makes this determination based upon information provided by its suppliers, which has been evaluated
and subjected to the above-described due diligence process.</P>
