    I hope this innovation drives,

    1. A tactialized short-barreled CQB AR-15-ish extra-capactity mag version

    2. A simlar offering in 22WMR

    2. Ruger to get off their duff and rip off Savage and retool the 10/22 platform to achieve the same thing, in 22LR, 22WMR, and 17HMR. Competition is always a good thing.

    Ok, so a friend was talking to a shop owner yesterday about this. He was told he would have to pay $650.

    Given the way the dollar is looking I can see why this is. I was in another shop on Friday. They had just received an order from the supplier, and everything was up 5%.
    Oh man, my fingers smell like cosmoline.

    This is why Savage products are of interest to me. They resort to innovative designs in order to accomplish what would normally be difficult.

    I wonder if this delayed blowback system would make it possible to have a semi .17 WSM? I cant help but notice the lack of price difference between .17 HMR and .17WSM ammunition. Seems like choosing WSM would be a no brainer.Also I think 25 round mags are in order.

    Ripping off designs is what Ruger does best...

    I was hoping to get one of these A17's but for $650, I'll pass and buy a real rifle...pretty steep for a hot plinker
