Still no word whether the stock will be available separately or not.

The bigger news is a stainless barrel in 16 inch configuration.

I should've seen that coming, because I just bought my standard GSR a month ago

It's about damned time.
Now if I can just get Tech-Sights to make a replacement rear sight, Magpul to make AIC pattern PMAGs, or Wolff to make replacement polymer magazine springs, I could die happy. |

I want to say I like laminate stocks. If made right they are more weatherproof than wood. Composite is cool though

For me, its strictly a function of weight. ^ this I don't really see the composite being any more durable or rigid than the laminate... the laminate is drop dead sexy, the composite is functional and lightweight. I'm a function over form guy, so the composite is right up my alley, but I don't think there's a better looking gunstock material out there than gray laminate and the GSR's is a great example. |

I want the composite stock. An added bonus is that if the stock is hollow (as most are), the user can add spare parts/cleaning gear to tailor the rifle's balance point to their preference..

Id rather see the laminate stock available with a full length of pulll option. I hate having all three of the inserts in at once to get a good LOP; it looks funny to me.im tall and lanky so I'd buy that stock option for a replacement.

I just wish they would do it with an 18" barrel.

It's free floated and decently lighter, both superior to the original model. Sure hope they sell the stock alone, or maybe roll out more novel calibers like .260 or 7mm-08.

XS Sights makes a replacement rear sight peep that will accept screw-in apertures, and which, by itself, makes a pretty fair ghost ring rear sight. There is a Ruger-specific adaptor required for the base of the aperture, IIRC. Adjustable for initial zero, but forget about making changes without tools and some hassle. Most Tech Sights are not much better in this regard. It's not easy to find it on their site, so call or e-mail them for details. |

I really like the Alpha Industries GSR magazines above all others so far. Rock solid steel construction, compact like the polymer 10 round mags, it can't accidently fall out from bumping the mag release, it retains the ease of reloading and it feeds rellably.

Might I ask what problems you were having exactly? Loading? Feeding? Extracting? |
