I'm not real sure what to think. Atleast they offer it in a 6.5CM! Did you see that weight..kinda confused. It looks like all the other wiz bang chassis rifles but it says ruger on it :/ I bet snipers hide will have a lot of stuff on this rifle. For 1k I don't know if I wouldn't buy a tikka CTR.. Look forward to the reveiws.

Eh.

A 3/4 MOA precision rifle is pretty unremarkable in a world of .5 and .25 MOA guarantees.

3/4 seems pretty good for a $1300 MSRP rifle. Who has a better accuracy guarantee at anywhere near that price?

FWIW, I don't think it was a guarantee....that just looks like their average.

As long as we're talking 3 shot groups:

Remington SPS's are almost half that price and consistently shoot 3/4 MOA.....ditto Tikka's, Sako's, and Savages.

Both of my 70 year old K31s are sub MOA with service issued GP11 ammo.

Edit: reading the article again, looks like they were 5 shot groups. So, yeah, it beats my K31 I bought for $200, as it opens up after 3 rounds.

Still, the other offerings are cheaper with similar performance to the Ruger.

averaging five consecutive, five-shot groups.

Five groups of five shots, I wonder how much time elapses between each "consecutive" group. Does the barrel cool back down?

I won't be buying one, I don't have easy access to a range long enough to warrant any of these types of rifles, but LGS says they'll be selling them for a $989.95.

It was an average of 5 consecutive 5 shot groups repeated with 3 different types of ammo.

You must be really lucky, because I rarely see any of the above mentioned factory rifles perform that well, especially when using a bipod. Accuracy aside, I think it's awesome that Ruger is selling a rifle, with a street price closer to a nicer chassis, that takes AR barrels and furniture and has a magwell that can take both SR25 pattern and AICS mags

Seriously.

Before learning of this rifle I had little interest In long range precision guns as I simply couldn't afford to do so much as think about them.

This rifle changes that.

I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on one of these.

If I were a coyote, and lived west of the Mississippi River, I would consider this new Ruger a negative development.

I was at the Range that Ruger announced this gun at.. Got to handle one..

Im Really impressed with it. its a FAR cry from a M77
3 lug bolt
70 deg lift
5R rifling
Pmag feed
folding stock
Adjustable for length and cheek weld
AR type forearm
Sweet trigger ( like the accu trigger)


I dry fired it a few times and ran the bolt some very smooth For $1000 bucks Id sure be in on one if I was looking... and I damn near got one in 6.5 Creedmore any way.
