Brother in law purchased one for his grandson. They are not rifle "loonies". They have only positive things to say about the rifle.
Well, I'm a rifle looney fer' shure.
got the hat to prove it. LOL
Although I've owned quite a few Rugers of the rimfire, bolt action center-fire and #1's, I'm not a dyed-in-the wool Ruger fan.
A couple months ago just before I went on the 24hr Campfire hog hunt I picked up the RAR in 22WMR.
I am much impressed. I scoped it with a Bushnell Elite 4200, 3-9.
I'm using 30 gr. CCI TNT Maxi-Mags. Zero'd at 50 yds. Not a 1 holer but under an inch.
Anywho I limited out the first day on hogs. I had the RAR with me and started shooting cow-birds at +/- 60 yds. Was 4 for 4 at that distance.
We shoot out of stands and I've started taking it with me quite often and sniping small stuff if I get bored.
The synthetic stock and price make it a take anywhere/anytime
sweetie.
In fact I like it so much I just picked up a RAR Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor to try.
Best,
