Ruger and others seem to have released a lot of new models in the last few years. Most seem to be inexpensive, cheaply made, but pretty reliable and the rifles are accurate. Nevertheless, I would prefer them to release fewer models and concentrate on quality more.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

90% of the new stuff will be black and tacticool.

A left handed stainless 77 in an all weather stock would be nice.

Buddy ordered one of the Ruger precision rimfire. Anxious to see how it shoots, the bigger versions certainly do
She never made it past the bedroom door, what was she aiming for...? She's gone shootin..

Leaving for Shot Show tomorrow the 19th. Will report back while I'm there if much is new. Probably just package deals for us dealers. But we will see.

Nevertheless, I would prefer them to release fewer models and concentrate on quality more. Certainly agree! While cheaper rifles are always nice, I like blue or stainless steel with walnut stocks. Also, I miss the classic designs.

I believe most of us around the 'Fire appreciate classic design. And I know we have different opinions about what that may mean. But I believe Ruger has done a good job (mostly) of putting their finger on the pulse of the market and they make what sells. Some of us may want high gloss, blued steel and walnut but if that won't sell to the masses, Ruger either won't make it at all or they'll only make limited runs. It doens't make me happy, but I'm sure it makes their shareholders happy.

I'm not sure exactly what is meant by "tacticool" Tactical I understand. Perhaps it could be better referred to as user friendly, or purpose engineered. Jack O'Connor wrote about "classic stocked" hunting rifles because they were better suited to his purpose and type of hunting. The gun rags have to have something to champion and "weather resistant" stocks have come into vogue. Calibers have ran the gamut from .223-500. Elmer Keith had his following and many people today are convinced that they are 'under gunned" with anything less than a .3ooWM or bigger for a 90# deer. Some like the .223 or 22-250. To each his own.
Many soldiers have had plenty of experience with the AR styled platform so they gravitate to that. Chassis are just an easy way to stock a rifle that conforms to the AR style in a drop in fit that promotes accuracy.
Different competitions have gravitated towards different style stocks and different caliber specific rifles fit more to their purpose. The various types of Benchrest competitions have specific requirements.
I use different rifles for different purposes. PRS type platforms are different so they work better with different stocks and optics. My hunting stocks are all the classic style championed by JOC. The optics are a little different but not all that much. It depends on what the longest shots are contemplated for hunting. O'Connor shot an Elk at 600 yards with a low powered fixed power scope. In his day variable power scopes were not as reliable but his advise is pertinent today. The scope on a hunting rifle is it's sight and it should conform to that purpose. I love my SS 5-20x50 HD scope but it is too big and bulky for my hunting rifle so I use a shorter lighter scope. However I build my rifles to my specifications and don't expect anyone else to like what I hunt with.
For a gun company it is a never ending quest to keep up with trends and offer what the most people want at a price they can afford. Winchester made a fine hunting rifle but could not get it out the door at a price that everyone wanted to pay. Remington took over the market just as Savage has cornered a large part of the market with their somewhat homely bolt action engineered for ease of manufacture and accuracy. Whatever Ruger comes up with you can rest assured that it will be what they think they can sell for a profit to keep their workforce paid and satisfy the most people they can. Over the years they have offered a good value for their offerings. I expect they will continue their tradition.
