I've never seen a factory rifle with just a stainless barrel. They're usually all or nothing.

If you see a rifle with a carbon steel action and a stainless barrel you can pretty well bet it's been rebarreled.



The RARs in 22-250 with 1-8" ROT barrels that SAS special ordered from Ruger have a CM receiver and a SS barrel. You may not have seen one, but they are proof that Ruger has made RARs with CM receivers and SS barrels.

I wonder how the Ruger Ultralights showed up. Warehoused somewhere? New run?

Hmmm No. They made a bunch of them so it was not a prototype. I owned one as well.

If you read SOS reviews, most of the complaints revolve around slow shipping. I ordered a gun through them. They were slow as advertised. I knew that going in though, so I wasn't disappointed. All I can say is believe them when they tell you they are going to be slow.



Do you mind me asking how long it took for them to ship your gun? I don’t know if I should be expecting to wait weeks or months.

I honestly cannot remember. Seems like it took about 10 days. At one point I got a little nervous because a rebate was in play. That concern was for naught as they made the sale date the day the order was placed rather than when it was shipped. If you must have it within a month, I wouldn't do it.

Some of the later Winchester 70 models were also 2 tone.


While it's true that all liberals are crazy people, not all crazy people are liberals.
