You're killing me here! Trying to save this weeks spending for any weekend sales.
Also eyeing this model - I like the interchangeable stock riser, FDE stock, and a little shorter barrel (16.5).

I wonder if you'll ever find one of these. I don't see it on Ruger's site as they all seem to have 18" barrels now. Maybe a distributor special or something?

might know.Its a sportsmans outdoor exclusive. For the past few months I do the Notify Me - I get the email within 2-3 days they are in stock; then they go out of stock in 2 days; rinse and repeat. One day I'll jump on it - just too many other wants right now.I wonder if you'll ever find one of these. I don't see it on Ruger's site as they all seem to have 18" barrels now.

Well, I had a windless evening at the range today and was able to get my new scope dialed in pretty good. Obviously this gun will shoot better than I can shoot it, but that's no surprise.
All shots taken using CCI Standard Velocity.
Here is a picture of my 50 yard target with the Burris MTAC 4.5-14 x 42 scope. Set at 14x and shooting from the bench I was able to get pretty good groupings even though I was having trouble getting comfortable behind the rifle. After a few shots to tweak the scope after shooting in the wind the other night, I was able to get a decent 5-shot group.
I then took 10 more shots at a different target and grouped them pretty good, except for a couple of strays that I know were my fault. I just couldn't settle into the rifle, if you know what I mean, and in the field to the South of me there was a flock of turkeys just making a God-awful racket and it was hard to concentrate. I shot another 5-round string at another target and felt much better about it. I just need to get used to this bolt-action business I guess.

I then decided to shoot a mag full of SV's with my Gussied Up 10/22, also from 50 yards. Even though this scope is only 7x, it is very clear and precise. I didn't have any trouble seeing... or hitting the target as the picture below shows. I think I'm still favoring this 10/22 rifle over the RPR, but I've got a lot more shooting to do before I make up my mind.. At any rate, they are both a blast to shoot and I wish y'all could come out and shoot with me.
Happy Memorial Day to everyone! Hope you get to spend some quality time with the Family this weekend... maybe at the Range!

Any new range reports out there?? Rapid fire bare bones 10/22 pencil Barrel with inexpensive Simmons 3 to 9 scope and Fed 36 bulk ammo @ 50 yards.. 2 BX25 and 1 BX 10 at a pretty good clip. The first 10 we're moment of squirrel head.
