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???

Bob,

I like the rifle a lot but in the end isn't accuracy more important than all those accessories?

say a savage 10 could out shoot the Ruger, wouldn't the Savage be the better choice for long range work?

would be if it came with all the same options for the same price........But alas that would not be the case here.......I own a Savage model 10 in .223. I had to put a stock and bed it, put a target trigger on it, a 20 moa rail......Now I have better than a 1000.00 in it, but it does shoot 1/2 MOA.....And I don't have a fully adjustable chassis. Nor magazine feed...
