New Ruger precision rifle.

[Donny Fenn1]

My comment was in jest

Experiences like yours can certainly turn someone off a particular brand of firearm. Ruger isn't the same company since old Bill passed. The corporate bean counters are responsible for that. Compare a pre- Hawkeye 77mkII to a current model and you'll instantly see what I mean.

Yep, they make ARs now, tactified the Mini 14 and 10/22, have higher capacity mags, make 1911s etc.

Well me it was in 2011.

Real Guns has a review up with some nice detailed pictures. I'm looking forward to his next installment which is a barrel swap to 243. I don't reload and 6.5 Creedmoor is not readily available near me.

It does look promising. Hopefully we see them in Canada sooner rather than later.

 

[Silver Baron]

I expect the dealers here to chime in where and for how much, as soon as they become available in Canada.

They have been going for 1099US at the few places that had some in. They sold fast.

 

[zupermann]

Yay---another (affordable?) precision rifle for the masses!

 

[TacticalTeacher]

I particularly like how it can handle AICS, M14, Magpul, SR25 magazines. What a concept.....

What's not to like?

Cheers,

Ruger is guaranteeing 5 shot moa to 1600.

It would be a sweet gun if their claims hold true....guess we will wait and see.

A fully loaded precision rifle that comes with an aluminum chassis, fully adjustable folding stock, sub-moa accuracy up to 1600 yards and costs about a quarter of what similar rifles from other manufacturers sell for? Time will tell but it sounds a little too good to be true. On paper, the Mini-14 seemed like a good idea too...

The words "Ruger" and "precision" don't belong in the same sentence.

 

[Cranky Pants]

Looks interesting and the reviews seem good. Ruger has been putting out some nice stuff in the last few years, Their R+D team seem to be working for their pay cheques.

Do you allways have to spit in everyone's coffee?

 

[Dr.Lector]

I'm sorry I offended your sensibilities.

This has me frowning.

Seems like a common sense thought.

Time will tell......

I wonder if it will blow up in my face if i buy one?

Every ruger rifle I've bought in the last few years has had issues... some minor... some major but all needed to go back to the repair depot.
I think i will stick with my savage for a precision rig.

 

[caramel]

When available, i will buy one and trial and error it, this is the only sure way to know it's potential... JP.

It looks like it could do the job. For a turn-key product, a price of approximately $1900 CDN is fairly attractive as long as it shoots
as good as it looks. I'll be waiting to read/view some actual user reviews on this puppy. Other then that, way to go Ruger.

here is a video of Ruger's official ad regarding this puppy & the one below it is review of the rifle by Gun blast.com

Hopefully Ruger is turning the page on its recent quality/accuracy issues. If what I am reading in the early reviews holds true, I am down for one in 243.

 

[Can-down]

Nice.
