wunbe said:As a traditionalist with mil/serv dating from the M1 era, I can't like AR style rifles in general but a LR precision bolt gun with a free floated barrel and an adjustable trigger just might turn my head were it not for the weight -- 10 lbs + w/o scope -- and price tag -- about what a far prettier Ruger No 1 goes far. Throw in the unreleavedly ugly character of the rifle and my "I pass" light goes on.
Hell, if Ruger gave their varmint rifles the same trigger and floating barrel you could get similar results at half the cost, less overall weight, and you would not scare the horses with it either.

My only question is....is their often spotty QC going to be up to the task of actualy delivering on what they're promising?

Another question..... if they're going to sell it as a "Precision" rifle, are they going to offer any accuracy guarantee? Most places that claim to sell an accurate rifle will guarantee a certain level of accuracy - usually one MOA or even less (realizing that it could well be load-dependent).
+1 I've got a black gun (and it's only 9.4 lb) but prefer blue and walnut like my No1s.wunbe said:might turn my head were it not for the weight -- 10 lbs + w/o scope -- and price tag -- about what a far prettier Ruger No 1 goes for.

PAShooter said:It doesn't seem like this gun is in the Ruger site for sale. It seems like a lot of hype before they are in production so a guy like me could buy one. I would be interested in the .308. I may check with my local dealer for availability. But I am not going to wait for 16 months like I did for my last gun (non Ruger) ordered.

gtxmonte said:This is a RAR action and a Ruger hammer forged barrel. They are touting the supreme accuracy of this rifle. So if this one is that accurate, how come no other Rugers are.
gtxmonte said:So you think just taking a RAR action and barrel.......tossing it in an alum chassis, immediately makes it a 1/2 MOA rifle
