It's a Model 77/22, with XS scope rail, XS Ghost Ring backups and Leupold Scout scope. Given today's ammunition prices, it probably pays for itself every 500 rounds! Rich

I agree, it would have been the way to go. How many mags come with the gun, and how hard are the Accuracy INT. mags to get? I really want one of these rifles. I also read somewhere that Ruger is working on a less expensive polymer mag for the GSR.

I also read somewhere that Ruger is working on a less expensive polymer mag for the GSR. 1 ten round mag comes with gun. the mags can be purchased but I have yet to search for them very much. I did see one MSRP of $80 for a ten round mag.

How much did it run you sir? $799 plus tax for gun and $279 plus tax for the leupold scope. so, after the bastards get their tax money it was almost $1200. throw in a set of butler creek flip caps and a sling and it will be all of $1200.
