Is "in line recoil path" going to be the new marketing buzzword for a tube gun?
Can't wait for that to be trumpeted as the cure for any and all problems for the next 3 years. Interesting gun at the price point for sure, but other than a sort-of-chassis (I guess?) I don't think its really anything new or groundbreaking. Throw it in a normal stock, and it wouldn't turn any heads... same as the overpriced Savage BA series. |

You know if they didn't put it on there, some moron out there will call Ruger and raise hell because there's no optic on the rifle. |

Well, its interesting.
I don't understand, the GSR uses proprietary mags, but this uses some of the most common mags around

6/10 MOA @ 100 yds....meh.

This can be seen in the improved LCP, LC9S and a host of guns released since Bill Ruger assumed room temperature. They actually seem to be listening to the market. |

it takes AR handguards (according to the Ruger sight)
allen wrench stored on board to adjust the trigger.... seems to have a lot going for it. I am not sure if it takes .308 AR barrels or not. They mentioned on their site that it has an easily replaceable barrel. 
overall, it seems neat. |

Looks like a take away from the Tubb 2000 which is a nice design with a stiff price tag.
I hope Ruger makes it and it actually works, |

1:7.7 twist in the 243. Ruger has been doing their homework. I am definitely interested.
Ruger has been killing it for almost ten years now. I wish they would have dumped the family back in the day as I can't even imagine what we would have today. |

I am guessing it is more like the savage rifles. Pop in the right gauge and screw it down. I always wondered if Savage patented their particular threads because a gun like this that used savage barrels would be the shit since there are so many good options out there now. |

If you would have told me 10 years ago that ruger would be build sub 400$ compact bolt action guns in 300 whisper and 223 I would have laughed until I couldn't breathe and that is just a couple of their cool guns. Even their handguns got new life breathed into them. New Ruger is Boss |

Very competitive price point as just the chassis of most similar designs are pushing that 1k price tag, and some over it. Interested to see if the trigger is based off of another design or it's proprietary. Barrels that don't need to be chambered by a gunsmith and using AR rails is nice too.
