well  even with the price ( I would if I could )   looks like I won't be getting it   :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
just like the LCR, LCP,  10/22  not for me  :'( :'(


not knowing much about AR pricing

if you say  $1000 is over priced   for 2K  it would want to be the Apple Mac of AR's
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Would have been nice with a folding stock. MSRP puts it out of the park, unless I sell off more of my collection. I don't know if I could get by with less than 60 firearms in the safes.

I'll wait a year or two for the bugs to be worked out. Then I won't spend 2 large on an AR.

Even if you folks aren't interested, there may be a couple guys out there that like it even with the price, ya'll just got them to scared to say so.  And if it doesn't take off with civilians, cops will probably be all over this, even with the 2K price tag.  To some LE agencies the name Ruger means something.

Till I read on here that people thought the price was high I had no idea...

$2000 MSRP. WHAT????? Are you kidding? Is this the Rock River Killer or something????? That is in the Pro-Series Government range. And last time I checked FBI Hostage Rescue is running that gun basically the way it comes out the box, with a halo on it.

I dont know. I like Ruger. I hope it is everything that I am afraid its not. I would have been happy to see it, to begin with, in the 1300-1500 max MSRP. with a dealer price around 1100. And if it turns out to be great then jack it up.

If it turns out that all is good, then I might buy one. Just because I know how well Ruger can build a gun. But it will have to be a while before I jump into that.

OK, five pages from gun nuts who are so easy  its lucky we weren't born girls. At least one of whom has plenty of cash to buy the thing (yes Bill I'm talking about you ;)), and zero positive comments. Not one, zero, zip, nada. They better hope they get a military, LEO or Mexican drug cartel contract or this thing will have the life expectancy of a startrek redshirt. Just sad.
