I am a happy owner of a 22mag RAR. It is a great gun for what it is. My only hunting rimfire. IMHO, This is a step in the right direction, if Ruger wants to sell me another or compete with CZ. Given I dont need another, it probably take a lot more to sell me another rimfire.
Another step would be too improve the 77/xxx trigger. A 3rd step might be a top grade American truly competitive with CZ or 77/xxx. Serious snob appeal - in a good way. The new design should be less cost to build and about as good as anything out there.
I like this wood option, but for a little more money the CZ looks better (style). Mechanically, or design, I prefer the Ruger American over the new CZ455. It just need a bit more hi class in the wood version.
I seriously believe Ruger is on the RIGHT track here. For every $100 price increase, I bet the market shrinks 90%. So; time will tell, how far up scale Ruger can take this thing. Has anyone one even seen a wood RAR?
