Nice rifle! How much did you pay?

A hair over $1800 including taxes and background. It's a nice rifle and the first factory assembled AR style rifle I have ever purchased. All my 5.56 rifles have been cobbled together from lowers, uppers and parts kits.
Next step is a scope and mount, but in the meantime if I can swing some .308 I want to hit up a decent 100-300 yard range to see what I can get with irons.
Ultimately I want to get a AAC SDN6 for it.
As far as a takedown version I don't know if they would, it can be done we know this but the real question for Ruger would be sales projections. If it looks like it would fall flat or if they did they would most likely keep the standard on the product lineup for a while to see how the takedown sold. If sales were good maybe they would drop the standard 762 from the lineup.
One thing I have to say is all the Ruger firearms I have owned thus far have been over built, durable and very reliable and I suspect this one will be as well. Next on the block besides the scope and finishing my 9mm SBR is a Ruger GP100 Wiley Clapp 3".
