Henry to my mind I feel you may be onto something. Though I don't mind the rifle, I feel the designers didn't make up their minds whether it was supposed to be a handy scrub rifle or a dangerous game safari rifle (for want of better terminology).
I also dislike that butt styling. This particular feature was one of the things I hated on the Gunsite Scout, among others. It is a shame to see it carry on in this rifle.
I admire Ruger's adventurous attitude for coming up with new products though. If this product wasn't likely to land here for near 2000 bucks I could see myself buying one.
