The email notice I got calls it a hardwood stock so it's probably the same birch as 10/22's. MSRP is $449 compared to $339 and $369 for the various synthetic stock models. They don't show it as being any heavier, 6.1 lbs vs. 6 lbs for the synthetic.
The synthetic models are being offered on gunbroker in the low-mid $200's so I figure once this gets to everyone's shelves you could probably pick one up for $300 or less.
Not really an earth shaking announcement as rifles go but I have to again tip my hat to Ruger for continually bringing out new products or new versions of existing ones. Most companies announce a few new models or variations once per year, Ruger seems to give us something new to gawk at about once per month or sometimes more often than that.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
