After testing the Ruger American Predator, this latest announcement from Ruger has me pretty stoked. If what they did on the RAP is any indication, this new rifle looks to be a nice little tack driver.<\/p>\n

MSRP is a bit high at $1399, but the street price should be just under $1,000 if my guess is right. That’s still pricey, but if this gun performs along the same lines as their budget-models I do expect to see sub 0.25 MOA performance with match ammunition.<\/p>\n
