...Gun Digest and Ruger? The 2006 edition is out and there are Rugers on the cover again. This makes, what, about 30 years in a row? Well, maybe not all 30 years, but I can't think of the last GD cover that didn't have some kind of Ruger product on it. Does Ruger pay GD to do this? Or is someone there just a huge fan?

Covers on DBI Books et al are paid "advertorial."

Well, that explains it, then. Thanks!

The et al in your reply is intriguing. Now I have a whole new line of thinking.
