Apparently, this is practically brand new. My LGS couldn't even order one a week ago, though his distributors had item numbers for them.
I think I'm going to get one. I'll do a review if I go ahead with it. |

Brand new model. Haven't been able to finger yet. My LGS said he's getting one... just doesn't know when.

Looks nice. I wouldn't buy a grey laminate stock though. Ugly. Now a brown laminate stock and I could be tempted. I think the only laminate stock I own is a nazi Mauser bysterica.

Nice. I need one in 17hmr or 22wmr. I've got a 22lr compact that's a great shooter.

Not sure what target game this is intended for. Most 22 target rifles have iron sights. Looks like a nice rig tho.

Wow, after all of the crap I changed out on my regular Ruger American Rimfire they release this thing.
 I'm sure I'll end up with one just because I'm a sucker for bolt gun .22's. Especially if they take the 10/22 mags.

Found one today at Cabelas in .22lr and got it. I've ordered a scope for it and hope to have a range report this week. First impressions are very good. Finish is a nice blue, not matte, FYI, and overall the gun feels more expensive than it is. The action is decent out of the box and I expect it to smooth up with use. The bolt knob is more appealing in the hand than it looked in pictures. Balances pretty well to me, but I tend to like heavy barrels FWIW.
I really like the stock more than the polymer ones on the other RARs. The comb is fairly low, but again I like the way it feels; I ordered a scope with a 33mm objective and low rings to keep it streamlined. I was really impressed with the factory trigger (this is my first experience with one of these) and I don't think I'm going to change it out for something else. My Silencerco Spectre II threaded on nicely and I think the threads are .400 because there was no gap between the back of the silencer and the fat part of the barrel. |

Sorry I didn't come back to the thread sooner. I was hoping to have a range report on my .22 but sadly I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.
I think I paid $439 at Cabelas. Too much but I was hoping to use it during my older son's spring break. Threads: From the muzzle to the shoulder is .400. The threads themselves look like .300 from first to last thread. |

IF this new rifle proves to be a shooter, I will be selling my Savage TRR with Boyds and my Savage Stainless Thumbhole Varmint and buying a couple of the new Rugers to replace them with. No reason to have two types of mags when I have so many other Ruger rifles- two Americans, 13 10/22's, three 77's....All take the rotary 10 rounder....Simplifies parts/magazine inventory. |

Quality isn't the best but accurate non the less. When I first got it it would, no joke, shoot 5 shot .4 inch center to center groups with CCI SV at 50 yards. I have pics of the target around here somewhere. One fine day I took it out of the stock for cleaning (despite being all stainless, it will rust if you look at it wrong. I call it the USS Rustoleum. I had to pull it from the stock regularly to ensure it hadn't started rusting somewhere) and when it went back together 1) the bolt was severely binding against the stock and 2) group size doubled. I could never find anything wrong with the stock. I ended up sanding the barrel channel a bit to free bolt movement. Oh, can't forget, the bolt stop raised a huge burr of metal on the bolt from normal operation. The bolt is apparently made of something rather soft. Admittedly I haven't even called Savage; I know how this works. If it's shooting .8 to 1.2 at 50 yards it's going to be declared acceptable and not even looked at. I have better things to do with 30 bucks than piss it away shipping a gun to the manufacturer for them to tell me it's fine when I know damn well it isn't. I can't get SavageGunsmithing.com, an expert on Savage rim fires, to even respond to my inquiries about what might be done to correct the issues. I looked into bedding the stock and found out it's almost impossible because the stock doesn't have enough material in some areas to be relieved. So. Crap design, crap stock design, rusts, and poor materials. I'm well past screwing with this thing any more and I'm putting exactly zero additional money into it. It's going out the door to be replaced by something that's less prone to falling apart. I won't be spending any more on Savage rimfires either. Thus my interest in the RAR target, among others. |

Found one. Vasilated between the 22MWR or the 17HMR and went with the 22WMR for hitting power and bullet weight. At my local Sportsman's Whse. It's the walnut and sexy as hell. Stock pic for now but will post her up once I get her dressed out with an nice optic and bipod this weekend.
