<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">On October 14, 2025, the Board of Directors (the
&ldquo;<U>Board</U>&rdquo;) of Sturm, Ruger &amp; Company, Inc. (the &ldquo;<U>Company</U>&rdquo;) authorized and declared a dividend
of one common share purchase right (a &ldquo;<U>Right</U>&rdquo;) for each share of common stock, par value $1 per share, of the Company
(each, a &ldquo;<U>Common Share</U>&rdquo;) outstanding at the close of business on October 24, 2025 (the &ldquo;<U>Record Date</U>&rdquo;).
The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement, dated October 14, 2025 (the &ldquo;<U>Rights Agreement</U>&rdquo;),
between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent (the &ldquo;<U>Rights Agent</U>&rdquo;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The following is a summary of the Rights Agreement.
The summary description of the Rights set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Rights Agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to this Form 8-A and incorporated herein by reference.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Board authorized the issuance of one Right
for each Common Share outstanding as of the close of business on the Record Date. In addition, one Right will automatically attach to
each Common Share (subject to adjustment) that will become outstanding between the Record Date and the Distribution Date (as defined below)
or the earlier Expiration Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement). Following the Distribution Date and prior to the Expiration Date,
subject to certain specified exceptions, Rights will be issued in connection with any Common Shares that become outstanding pursuant to
the exercise, conversion or exchange of certain securities or under any employee plan or arrangement, and Rights may be issued in connection
with other issuances as determined by the Board.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The Rights will initially trade with, and will
be inseparable from, the Common Shares, and the registered holders of the Common Shares will be deemed to be the registered holders of
the Rights. Prior to the Distribution Date, the Rights will be represented, as applicable, by certificates for, or by book-entry accounts
that evidence record ownership of, the Common Shares. After the Distribution Date, separate certificates evidencing the Rights (the &ldquo;<U>Right
Certificates</U>&rdquo;) will be issued and mailed to holders of record of Common Shares as of the Distribution Date (other than an Acquiring
Person (as defined below) and its affiliates or associates). The Rights may instead be recorded in book-entry or other uncertificated
form, in which case such book-entries or other evidence of ownership will be deemed to be Right Certificates.</P>

the Distribution Date. After the Distribution Date, each Right will be exercisable to purchase from the Company one share of Common Stock,
par value $1 per share, of the Company at a purchase price of $200 per Common Share (the &ldquo;<U>Purchase Price</U>&rdquo;), subject
to adjustment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">The &ldquo;<U>Distribution Date</U>&rdquo; means
the close of business on the business day immediately following the earlier of (i) the Flip-In Date (as defined in the Rights Agreement)
or (ii) 10 business days after the date (prior to such time as any person becomes an Acquiring Person), if any, as may be determined by
action of the Board, in its sole discretion, following the commencement of, or public announcement of an intention to commence, a tender
or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becoming an Acquiring
Person.</P>

means any person who becomes the beneficial owner of 10% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, subject to certain specified
exceptions. Such exceptions include persons deemed to be &ldquo;Passive Institutional Investors,&rdquo; who, among other
requirements, are investors that are entitled to file, and file, a statement on Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b) or Rule
13d-1(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &ldquo;<U>Exchange Act</U>&rdquo;), with respect to such
investor&rsquo;s beneficial ownership of Common Shares. The Rights Agreement also provides that any person who would otherwise be
deemed an Acquiring Person as of the date of the adoption of the Rights Agreement will not be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for
so long as such person does not acquire, subject to certain specified exceptions, beneficial ownership of any additional Common
Shares following adoption of the Rights Agreement.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><I>Flip-In</I>. At any time after a person or group
becomes an Acquiring Person, following the occurrence of the Distribution Date, each holder of a Right (other than the Acquiring Person,
its affiliates and associates and certain transferees thereof) will have the right to receive, upon exercise, a number of Common Shares
(or, in specified circumstances, certain other securities, cash or assets of the Company) having a value equal to two times the Purchase
Price of the Right, unless the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Rights Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
once a person becomes an Acquiring Person all Rights that are, or were, beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person, its affiliates and
associates and certain transferees thereof will be null and void.</P>

the then-outstanding Common Shares, the Board may exchange the Rights (other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person, its
affiliates and associates and certain transferees thereof), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one Common Share (or, in specified
circumstances, certain other securities of the Company) per Right, subject to adjustment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><I>Flip-Over</I>. If, after a person or group becomes

share exchange, consolidates or merges with the Company where all or part of the outstanding Common Shares are exchanged for securities,
cash or property of the other person and the Company is the surviving corporation or (iii) 50% or more of the assets or earning power
of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole) is sold or transferred, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a
Right (other than the Acquiring Person, its affiliates and associates and certain transferees thereof) shall thereafter have the right
to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the other party to the consolidation, merger, sale or transfer (or its parent) having a value
equal to two times the Purchase Price of the Right.</P>

The redemption of the Rights may be made effective at such time (the &ldquo;<U>Redemption Date</U>&rdquo;) and on such basis and with
such conditions as the Board, in its sole discretion, may establish. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise
the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price. The Rights shall not be
exercisable after the first occurrence of a person or group becoming an Acquiring Person until such time as the Company&rsquo;s right

Agreement, to shorten or lengthen any time period referenced in the Rights Agreement, or to make any other provisions with respect to
the Rights which the Company may deem necessary or desirable. However, after the Distribution Date, the Rights Agreement may not be amended
