Not the prettiest pig to put lipstick on. May as we'll start from scratch and build a rifle for what they want retail for these. http://www.ruger.com/products/gunsiteScoutRifle/models.html Talking to you is like trying to nail jello to the wall.

I don't have anything against a 16" barrel & having a coll. stock AR with a 16" is nice to have in the truck but for a bolt gun with a 1-8 & a mag for the heavies, I want a little more barrel for that function, at least 20". The issue I have with the RAR Predator is the Mag, but it appears that is being addressed. To each his own. You will not make peace with the Blue Coats, you are free to go

If only one, I'll go with the longer OAL and smile all the way. If there is a big enough demand someone will make a custom bottom metal that accepts AR mags.

I was looking at one the other day and thought that maybe I could make a rear sight work in the holes drilled for the rail.

I have no use for forward mounted scopes, a regular 1-4X would do everything better anyway. I just can't pull the trigger on one, although it has potential. Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
