Got to handle one yesterday. Frankly, it's not something I want. I do not like the extended 10 rd. box magazine. And the barrel is too short. I do like the iron sights, the two scope setups and the adjustable stock. Maybe ruger will make a version with 19 inch barrel and a conventional magazine ? I can see alot of usefulness with such a rifle. E

1. 20 inch barrel 2. make low round mag that sits flush with stock and still give the ability to use the extended high cap by switching 3. stainless (ruger's target grey stainless would be great) 4. quality lightweight/synthetic stock
The changes I'd make...but I don't make the rules at Ruger.

But for a gen-purpose rifle that will also be a primary hunting rifle I'd have to go 20in. Ruger already has out zytel mags in 3rd (flush) 5rd, and 10rd. The target gray would be my preference as well. I'm hoping someone will market a lightweight stock for that rifle as well.

I didn't know they had a flush mag available. That's a big plus. Thanks!

That would be very cool. Any idea when they're next having a range day? I have pretty much decided my next AR is gonna be a LaRue lightweight. Haven't decided on caliber yet, though. The last one was November 11 & 12, according to their website. I think they have them at least 2-3 times a year. I have a couple (ummm...actually more than a couple) of handloading projects, but I will be tinkering with .300 Blackout loads next weekend. If I can get it to shoot accurately, it will probably become the house rifle. If not, I think I'll try a 7.62x40 barrel Nice having no moderators around, we can talk AR's in the Handgun forum, without a moderator having kittens
