New Ruger precision in 22 cal

I wonder what kind of accuracy we are going to get from this rim fire does anyone no ? a funky chassis isn't gonna cut it with a precision trainer if the accuracy isn't there its got to do 1/2 in at 50 SLIPP
 
Precision in my mind is shooting at same hole or very close to it repetitively.

I do not see the 22LR as compatible with that :) at over 50 meters

but good marketing and business strategy by Ruger
 
Ruger has been doing a pretty lousy job of finishing lately. See the people talking about the zipper sound of their bolts in the American Rifle series. It takes a lot of polishing etc to get them decent,I don’t want to spend big bucks and spend hours working on a bolt

I assume we can only put the BX-10 magazines in it since anything that holds more is a prohibited device (because of the 10/22)?

Yes. Looking at how good (in my opinion) the rifle looks with the BX-15, I'd prefer a pinned 15 over a 10. Hurts to say "pinned rimfire mag". :p

Cool, to bad it's a ruger, that's a deal breaker right there.

I'm almost of the same mind, but I'm reserving judgement on that until I see real accuracy reports. (not guys plinking @ SHOT) If they prove to be accurate, end-up in the $500 range...and I can swap-out that 30 MOA rail for a 0 or a 10 MOA, it will be hard for me to resist. Won't order online sight unseen, I want to see what that stock feels like. I've had the privilege of shooting an RPR in 6.5 Creeemoor, and while I'm not expecting that kind of quality, I do have high hopes it won't feel overly cheap/flimsy. With their bolt guns, Ruger seems to be doing more "right" than wrong recently, so I'm very curious about this one. I love beautiful wood stocks, but I obsess about them staying that way. A "beater" black gun with good accuracy? I think it would very much be up my alley.

I agree with you.

I scooped up a Ruger American in 223 a couple years ago on sale. I immediately had regrets and purchased a CZ 527M to fill the void. Since then I ordered a Boyds stock for the American, had it bedded and just last week spent time polishing the bolt and action (about 3hrs). It's actually a relatively easy bolt and action to polish - took me less time then I spent polishing a Savage 93R (I know it's not apples to apples). The inside of the American receiver was rough and the I couldn't stand the zipper sound of the bolt. I am happy to say that i now have love for the American - the polished action is just as smooth as a factory Tikka and the rewards of having put the effort into it yourself is priceless.

Would I do it again? No. I would personally never buy a budget rifle again.

Sorry off topic from the Ruger Precision rimfire

I'll tell you what cracks me up... the masses are clamoring for cheap shyte... and the masses are clear, they want it CHEAP. Ruger caves like all of the other big producers and gives them what they want... a CHEAP rifle... and in return they get; "My bolt sounds like a zipper!" (Insert image of child stamping feet and screaming).

You want cheap? Then you don't get finely milled and jeweled bolts or deep bluing or grade III walnut or seamless wood to metal finish or fiberglass/carbon stocks... you get what you asked for... a tube bolted to a chunk with a pin on a spring that goes bang.
