Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Seen the new Ruger bolt gun?

HiPoints aint my cup of tea but obviously enough people like them that they sell a ton of them.

Why?

Have you even looked at the rifles features before slamming it?

You proably own't see it on the "Custom rifles" forum here, since Ruger will not need a $500+ McMillan Edge on it. At 6.25lbs in a long action- it's light enough already?.

It also won't need any bedding , because that stock is already pillared and floated right out of the box.. Unlike 90% of the m77s or No 1 rifles that Ruger has ever made in the past.

The trigger won't need to be adjusted by a 'smith either-it adjusts down to a crisp 2.5Lbs with a screwdriver. It will probably feed reliably due to the polymer rotary mag which the Finns were not even smart enough to come up with during their last 20 years of constant redesigns.. No need to call Darcy Echols to get it to feed. Damn the luck.

The stock on that new Ruger is already better looking in terms of it's basic lines than half of McMillan's current sporter offerings.

I guess if you wanted that Ruger to be as ugly most rifles of the glass stocked rifles on the custom forums, you COULD pay someone to paint a baby puke colored "McSwirly" looking paint job on the stock.

Yeah- you won't see that Ruger on the Custom rifles forums because that rifle probably DOES NOT need 2 to 5K worth of "look at me" done to it just to shoot and function well.

You heard it here first.

I'm kind of curious if any of the pogues singing the praises of Ruger's latest "innovation" will actually put their money where their mouths are. You ladies talk a good game, but I have a feeling if it came down to it, your attitude's going to be "It's a nice rifle -- for someone else."

No Schit Sherlock! That's what we are saying, it will be a nice gun for the masses. Generally speaking those of us on a gun site are not the masses, we are more rifle looneys. You are just looney!

So exactly what is it you're trying to gain by beating the drums and singing the praises of the Ruger tent stake? Suckass of the Year? You've got my vote. You're just a typical self-important internet dumbass. Long on advice, short on experience. But I will give you this: you're smart enough not to take your "advice."

I'm just pointing out that this new rifle fills a need that Ruger has not been in the market of before.

What "NEED"? What f*cking "NEED"? Is there ANYONE -- ANYONE AT ALL -- who NEEDS this? This is Ruger's way of saying "We give up. We're out of ideas for new products, so now we're going to focus on the lowest common denominator of the public." You know, for people like you. But you've already said you aren't going to buy one.

Hopefully this and that stupid SR22 go the way of the PC9/PC40 and 77/50 muzzleloader.

Congratulations. you managed to get through an entire post without using the f bomb.

Opps. Well at least you were able to express yourslf in a civil, adult manner once.

And BTW, given all your Ruger bashing; The real measure of a company['s success is its return to its stockholders. Ruger stock is up over 100% in the last year. Not too shabby in today's environment, AND for a company serving a "mature" market.

Can I provide you with the names of some reputable shrinks?
