Thanks for sharing. I wouldn't mind one in long rifle.

So, why aren't these showing up on the Ruger website yet? I want to know more, damnit!

Why does it appear to have dovetail scope mounts?

TBH, it looks cheap to me.

 

[Blind Sniper]

Scope mounts don't matter to me. There are conversion rails you can mount on a dovetail, turn it into a Weaver or Picatinny if you're that anal about it.

Personally, I'm looking forward to buying one, and I hope it does have a dovetail mount. I'll finally have a use for the $20 Tasco scope thats been sitting in my closet for the past year, plus the Quiet-22 rounds.

The top of the receiver may be tapped to use the scope mounts for the ten 22.

Impatient little spud...

Pics are from Lipsey's (Ruger distributor), but I have no idea why several sellers have info, but Ruger hasn't put it on their website.

I think cost was the driving influence for the design, just like the CF American rifles. I'd suspect the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases just like Marlin and Savage... which is most likely the market segment this rifle is intended to compete in.

Not impatient, just been looking for a good .22LR bolt gun for a while, and this one appeals to me.

This auction on GB has the spec sheet... drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases.

I like the interchangeable stock comb/butt assemblies... you can have an 18" with adult length butt and high comb!

Sweet, thanks man. Looks like I found this year's birthday present.

Funny I found quiet 22s today and was thinking I really want a bolt gun for this stuff with a separate zero. This thing would be perfect since it fits good old 10/22 mags.

Amen to that, man. The Q-22s are scary-quiet out of a bolt-action, lever-action or a revolver. Not even close to kidding, I have a pellet gun that is louder than these things (confirmed by a decibel meter. Q-22s were 65-72 decibels at the ear, pellet gun was 70-80).

The same thing that happened to the other 77/Hawkeye rifles when the American CF line came out....nothing. At least thats my guess.

I've been waiting for this one and when they become available, I'll jump! I owned a Ruger 77/22 for a while and it was a fine rifle but WAY too expensive! I'll wait to see what the market offers.

They need to start making the 10/22 magnum again.
