I had the opportunity to handle one of these first run Ruger rifles today and was not impressed with the finish quality. The heavy barrel and bolt looked great, the 2 stage trigger was acceptable and the Magpul furniture was good. The upper had deep casting marks on one side, more than any blem upper I've ever bought. The upper to lower fit was tight, the handguard was nice and the muzzle brake was good looking. I was glad to see they were being made in Mayodan NC, my home state, but was disappointed in the finish. The price point of $819 seems fair. It was the only one they were able to get. Not buying, yet!
