Misses the mark. I'll take a Savage MVP over it any day.

I think you mean
Mossberg MVP, which is what the Thunder Ranch and Patrol rifles are.
Mossberg is making some damned nice bolt-guns these days. And they are priced very well, too.
I think the Ruger is over priced and they really screwed up on the AICS magazine. I think they could have picked up a lot more market share (from guys like us with 87,000 AR mags laying around) by using AR mags. Ruger has a habit of almost giving us what we want.
The Savage guns are nice but the stock is
very cheap feeling.
The Thunder Ranch stock hss plastic but doesn't seem "hollow" like the Savage. The MVP laminate stock is a thing of beauty as well.
Mossberg has some really cool announcements to make at SHOT next year. Gonna really take a bite out of Ruger's GSR market.
