I have 3 other rugers and a ruger made marlin. None of them are like this.
The Ranch rifles are. Even gen 1. The demand is just so high. You may want to ask Ruger to do an exchange or help you. Since this is a US rifle, you can contact Ruger US directly. I think there is a threat in this irungun forum where they say that US warranty is better than having to go through gravelagency which provides the warranty for none grey market imports. Put it to a test. Will be interesting to see.
