I can't wait! I'm a buyer for sure.

That looks like a really nice rifle, especially for the price. Maybe something to look into getting.

If it's <$1000 it'll give me a semi.

I like Ruger bolt guns.

This one looks good, but it would be nice if they also offered it in a non Buck Rogers style stock. Maybe a McMillen A3 or A4

It looks like it uses any sort of AR furniture. An "OEM"-esque model with no buttstock, grip, or handguard (and corresponding lower price) would be sweet.

It's just what I'm looking for. I'm pretty pumped. I would like to see it in .300 wm though.

If msrp is $1399 any guess on to what the street price may be?

The MSRP on the Guide Gun is $1240 and I see them for $8-900 so sub $1k I'd imagine, if not a bit cheaper.

6.5-284 Norma won't fit in a short action magazine unless you handload short(light) bullets which kinda negates the whole long range thing.

I'd get a .243 and ream the chamber to 6XC.

I want to know if it's an AR-15 or AR-308/SR-25 size barrel nut. The geardo in me needs to know for handguard theorycrafting.

I was really impressed. Nice and crisp we didnt put a scale on it. I would say it was nicer than the trigger that came on my GSR by alot.

Yep. Between this and the Ruger Redhawk in 45ACP/45LC they are making me consider them for a future purchase.

According to the Ruger website you just need an AR wrench to replace the barrel and it takes any AR handguard. I'm assuming that means AR15 and not AR10/SR25.

That is a great looking gun. It is good to see American firearms manufacturers staying on the cutting edge of firearms technology like this.

A bullpup version would be SWEEEEEET!

I wonder if they will ever do a long action version?

For around $1k street price, if they are good... I'd probably put one on my list. I don't have a good long-range bolt gun. I'd probably prefer to go with 7.62x51 (.308) for ease of finding and reloading ammo.

Not a game changer by any means for Ruger or the industry. I applaud their tenacity and like the Company but, why does it always seem they get in the game late?

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.

Its a bolt gun, what point is there in taking ar barrels?

View Quote

I disagree. Tactical precision rifles is still a relatively niche part of the gun market. If this rifle can be competitive with what's out there in accuracy, I think it will be very successful for Ruger. For what this rifle has, and to be able to get it for under $1k could be big if it turns out to be a decent gun. A Remington 700 barreled action and an aftermarket chassis is going to cost you more than this rifle out of the box.
