I'm really curious to see if the plastic stock, I mean chassis, is going to feel cheap. My question is, why go aluminum with the handguard and nylon for everything else? Its a little confusing.

I'd be in the market if there were a left-handed version.

Yeah, another variation of "cheaper to keep er" Iffn I lived in a flat area or the west and had access to a range with 1000 yds I might see a benefit and the worth of it. Since I don't, I don't.

now that my initial excitement has calmed slightly, is there anyone else leery of getting a first run of a brand new gun? it appears that this is built off of the ruger american action which seems pretty reliable and alot of people online seem to like (along with the other group who seem to full on hate it).
i guess the bottom line question is this. do any of you treat guns like computers, phones and other tech in that the very first version tends to be buggy and you stay away from it until the early adopters get them and find all the bugs OR is there little risk in jumping right in and being an early adopter?

I'm going to take my chances. If it were a semi-auto with more moving parts, I might be a bit more reluctant. Using the 10-22 mags is a plus for me, and I love my RPR in .308, so it just seems like a no brainer. Can't wait for it to arrive!

i'm likely going to get it as well. i'm just looking to see if anyone on here has had issues with Ruger specifically when they put out a new firearm. even though i've never met anyone from MDS, i trust the collective opinions of this board more than other "strangers" on the internet.
CZ 455 Tacticool is a shooter for sure. Or the 452 is pretty sweet too. Get a yo dave trigger kit and a decent scope and you are good to go.
Someone already posted a quick range report with the rifle on Rimfire Central ...

If it’s like the RPR, they may find some things that cause some bellyaches. These things are fixed in aftermarket upgrades and then in a V2 of the product directly from Ruger. I think this is so closely geared towards RPR owners that Ruger will do whatever they can to keep them happy. I could totally see them offering a package of both together some time soon. I’m putting my Savage MKII BTV thumbhole tack driver in classifieds soon to get one of these because it’s the first .22lr I’ve seen that has a short action throw.

I am a tiny bit wary of this. Bought my RPR .308 as Gen I. Had to buy the muzzle brake and the aluminum bolt shroud afterwards. Gen II made these standard equipment, although the price was increased for Gen II’s by the exact amount of the parts I bought. Love that gun though, so I think I’ll risk it in this case. Already debating what glass I’ll put on it....

glass is a whole other story i don't want to think about right now. wish i had made my mind up on this while there were still all of those end of year sales going on.
i am interested in seeing what the new Leupold VX-Freedom looks like when it comes out.

Optic for precision long range rimfire
I have a Ruger precision rimfire on order and am shopping for an optic for shooting out to 200+ yards. Fixed or variable power. I am looking at the Pride Fowler rimfire scope but want to explore all options. Tell me what you've used and how you like it.

I’m really thinking of picking this up and doing a comparison between it and the savage mkII fv-sr. It doesn’t look to be as accurate as the cz and savage lineup.

Underwhelming results on his targets. Hopefully he just sucks :-)
I pre-ordered one. I will give you a report once I receive it.

I wasn’t impressed with the reviewer’s shooting style. Prairie-dogging every shot...
