I know..... and there is no reason for it that I can see.
It's as if someone in the supply chain is jacking the price and making huge profit but who knows. I haven't looked to see what they sell for in the states these days but when they first came out they were under a grand canadian and in a dozen years they have more than doubled in price at retail.

edit...... looked up the USD MSRP on these and was kinda blown away. So the high price is being pushed by Ruger themselves. I wonder how they justify it??

The Mauser action requires a lot of machine time and hand fitting. Unlike their American line, which is much easier to produce.

I know but still, when they came out they were under a grand for some models and just over a grand for others. That's Canadian pricing too but I guess it is what it is. I would buy one at today's prices if it came in 338federal but sadly that won't happen so if I want a scout type rifle similar to the gunsite, it's a custom build on a different action.
I like the OP's set up though.... not sure the stock color and action color really work together for me personally but I do like the finish on the stock. Looks great.
