Does anyone know when the ranch 30 is coming to Canada? It's essentially the 7.62x39 version of this gun!

the price in the add was a mistake but Cabelas still honoured the price.

Mine sits brand new unfired

Does the 308 come with a thread protector in case I don't want to use the muzzle breaker? How about the recoil and the muzzle blast?

Picked one of these up for the wife, came with muzzle brake installed and no thread protector in the box. Haven’t had it out to the range yet but going for a sight-in this weekend.

Mine came with a thread protector included in the small box w/ the bolt and cable lock. They must have Heman installing the muzzle brakes at factory, was scary trying to get the jam nut loose in order to remove it. I don't hunt with hearing protection so the muzzle brake is a no-go for me, also shortens and lightens the gun ever so slightly without it. Comes in at 7 lbs w/ a Bushnell 3500 on top using the exceptionally heavy Leuopold PRW rings. Mine shoots ~1.5 MOA, although I've only put the cheapest Federal Non-Typical Whitetail 150s through it so far. The shortness is it's biggest feature, light and easy to handle. Also being so short it fits nicely into the shorter Ruger 10/22 Allen softcases.

How is the recoil and the muzzle blast without the MB? I mean comparing to a lightweight 18" or 20" barrel 308, such as RAP.

I have one in .308 and found it has no noticeable recoil to speak of. No more than my 30-30 model 94. Also the noise wasn't bad either. It sure shot well.
