As I was telling a buddy at work Ruger will probably come out with a few new firearms every few weeks. I just hope they don't overdo it and over saturate their line. I do like the EC9s I bought and am looking for a PC carbine for the cheapest I can get.
Interesting but I would only consider it if they chamber in .22 WMR or, better yet, .17HMR.
30 MOA base? Marketing purposes only, I'm thinking.
I'd caution and sideline the purchase until enough people have reviewed it. I've seen great Rugers and ones that are just plain disappointing. Not much that a bolt rimfires can go wrong, but there are other options as well that are very capable. Savage Mk2 FV-SR in Boyds stock is hard to beat
A few years back, the "to die for" rifle was the RPR. Last year, many were sold in the classifieds. At one time, there were three on the front page of the long guns section.
This is going to be more of a long range rimfire setup. A 30 moa base can only help the intended purpose of this rifle. Markinging has nothing to do with it what so ever.
It definitely looks cool but i have my doubts that it will shoot as good as either one of my cz's 452 scout which is a kids gun and a 452 trainer. I bought a savage hbar thumbhole stock 22 bolt gun the same day as my cz's and it wouldnt keep up accuracy wise and it was a heavy awkward pig to carry. Needless to say its gone. Plus the cz's are lighter and easier to carry in the woods. Definitely interested to see how it does.
This gun reminds me of 10/22 in a replacement tacticool stock. It sure is designed after the TOR, but it doesn't seem to have that beefy appeal
