A few interesting new products from Ruger this year at the SHOT show.
The new Precision Rifle looks like a very nice package for the intended purpose. Comes in 308, 6.5 Creedmoor and 243. Seems to offer all the bells and whistles usually wished for in this type of rifle;
- a folding, length of pull- and comb height- adjustable stock,
- the barrel is cold hammer-forged, and can be replaced using AR-style wrenches
- Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger
- etc...
Barrel length is 20 inches for the 308 (1:10 twist), 24 inches for the 6.5 Creedmoor (1:8 twist), and 26 inches for the 243 (1:7.7 twist).
In the promo video which was shown at the Ruger booth, the shooter (who happened to be the rep I spoke with) was getting clover-leaf grouping at 200 yards.
MSRP is $1400 US.
Cool new 10/22 presented at the show: a Take-Down model, with a short Target Barrel. Seems to me it's about time this sees the light of day. Barrel length is 16 inches, fluted, muzzle is threaded (1/2 - 28)... should be a fun gun! MSRP is not for the light-hearted at $629 US. That barrel does look good though.
The 77-series has one new model to show off; called the Ruger 77/17. Has the Ruger rotary mag, chambered in 17 wsm (24" barrel, stainless), or 17 hmr (22" barrel, blued), and a pretty good looking American walnut stock. MSRP is $979 US for the HMR and $1069 US for the WSM.
Finally, there's a new interesting package in the American line. Ruger is offering their American rifle in four calibers (243 win, 270 win, 30-06 and 308) with a Vortex Crossfire II scope. When the Ruger rep presented this package to me, I replied that it was about time one of the Big Guys would offer a rifle-and-scope package with a scope that actually wasn't crap. The rep laughed pretty hard and replied, "yeah, yeah I hear you".
MSRP is $639 US
