The price is very reasonable and I believe it will be lower given the current conditions in the market.<br /><br />I have a 10/22 and I noticed early on that it would shoot just about anything. This rifle is built off of that platform, so reliability should be excellent. <br /><br />I also have .22 lr conversion kit for my AR and it does not perform Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474580244868535609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-71215046188805646792009-09-22T18:27:35.841-06:002009-09-22T18:27:35.841-06:00The president of Nordic Components is a friend of ...The president of Nordic Components is a friend of mine...I talked to him this AM and he is a VERY HAPPY CAMPER, as he makes the custom "shell" for the SR-22...<br /><br />mbMichael Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630187848984050478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-1937465078005629342009-09-22T17:37:55.898-06:002009-09-22T17:37:55.898-06:00Ruger didn't "invent" this offering....Ruger didn't "invent" this offering. Two years ago I spoke to the guys at the NRA annual meeting who did the engineering on the 10/22 action wrapping. All it is, is a 10/22 with a casting that goes around the action etc. Inventive but not Ruger.

I am guessing that with the usual "black rifle markup" that actual price for buyers will be close to $800. For that, I can assemble a top-line tack-driving rifle with the best aftermarket parts and STILL afford a Leupold scope on top.<br /><br />There is no reason why this model should cost 3-4 times more than a basic 10/22.gullyborghttp://gullyborg.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-87830278440710926642009-09-22T14:34:59.058-06:002009-09-22T14:34:59.058-06:00What's the MSRP?

Putting a collapsible stock and some rails on a Mini 14 no more makes it an AR then dressing up a 10/22 makes it an AR-22. <br /><br />The problem that I see is from a business standpoint..... they really dropped the ball by designating this rifle as "ericire12noreply@blogger.com
