You can bet I would call Rich if I thought it was outta whack.....He actually returns phone calls. He will probably send you a new scope....Would be my guess.

Both of the ones I use often, pass box tests and tracking tests and return to zero......

Just heard this shop is selling them for 980.00 with a two week wait....Very good deal..

What no 338LM?

not yet anyway.

What makes this better than something more conventional like say a Rem 700 and similar rifles?

Price. If you add up the goodies it would take to get your 700 on the level this Ruger is, you would be close to $2500 or more.

So the base rifle, sans optics, is $1,500 (give or take) better than a Remington or similar make?

If that is actually true then Ruger has just made one of the most significant advancements in 100 years, no?

How can this be?

Mind you, I'm not arguing - just trying to understand.

A Remington, will take at least 1500 or more to compete with this gun. Not including the cost of the gun.

Trigger 250.00
Chassis 1100.00
20 MOA Rail 165.
5R barrel 550.00
detachable box mag 250.00 for bottom medal and 75.00 for a mag

And that is just the start.

So they're legitimately selling a $2,500 rifle for 1K - that truly is revolutionary! But ... HOW??? :D
