milespatton - yes indeed...one has to wonder Ruger's wisdom in bringing this out now w/ the .22LR shortage. Do they know something the rest of us don't? I've a big stash of .22S given to me that I'd spend the money on buying a rifle for rather than one in .22LR just to have something to shoot at my local range. The Henry pump rifle comes to mind...
Instead, I've been upgrading my 10/22's while HOPING the LR shortage ends sometime in the rest of my lifetime (68y/o) LOL.
