Hi all,
Anyone seen or have any opinions on the new Ruger Long-range rifle? These are the specs:
  • Stock: Speckled Black/Brown Laminate
  • Barrel Length: 24"
  • Thread Pattern: 5/8"-24
  • Twist: 1:9" RH
  • Capacity: 5 round AI pattern magazine
  • Finish: Matte Black
  • Weight: 10.7 lbs.
  • Overall Length: 45.50" - 47"
  • Length of Pull: 13" - 14.50"
  • Grooves: 5
  • Suggested Retail: $1279.00
Features they list are:
  • Heavy-contour target barrel features a Ruger Precision Rifle® Hybrid Muzzle Brake to effectively reduce recoil while minimizing noise and blast to the sides of the shooter.
  • Cold hammer-forged 4140 chrome-moly steel barrel with 5R Rifling at minimum bore and groove dimensions, minimum headspace and centralized chamber.
  • 20 MOA Picatinny rail secured with four, #8-40 screws for increased long-range elevation capabilities overtop the traditional patented integral scope mounts that are machined directly on the solid-steel receiver.
  • Two-tone Target stock features two-way adjustable comb, adjustable pull length with soft rubber buttpad, QD attach points and flush mounted Lower M-LOK® rail.
  • Two-stage Target trigger
  • Non-rotating, Mauser-type controlled round feed extractor is the most positive case extraction system ever invented, and features a fixed blade-type ejector that positively ejects the empty cases as the bolt is moved fully rearward.
  • Three-position safety is easily accessible and allows the shooter to lock the bolt or to load and unload the rifle with the safety engaged.
  • Ships with one AI-Style five-round magazine.
  • Rugged one-piece, stainless steel bolt

Seems pretty awesome to me for the money. Maybe just needs a larger bolt knob and it's good to go.
