tobnpr, nice rifle.
Even though I have no intentions of shooting in any type of rifle competition I'm giving series thought to purchasing the Ruger rifle being discussed, it looks like it would make a great longer range coyote shooter.
I'll choose mine to be in 243 as I'm already geared for handloading in that caliber.
I have an older 700 BDL Varmint heavy barrel in 243 that's a tack driver (3/8 inch at 100 yards) it will do everything I need for shooting coyotes at longer range.
However I like the AR style grip on the Ruger along with a couple of other features the Ruger has.
I certainly have nothing against Savage rifles as I have a heavy barrel Savage bolt gun in 223 that I'm very fond of.
I'm sure a Savage like tobnpr posted the picture of in 243 would make me very happy.

I want one in .243 as well. Gary's for those of you that have em are rumored to knock off 100$ during the "ruger sale" next week from 999$ to 899$. If that's true i'll be picking one up shortly. More accuracy results from steinmaster on the hide.

Blackops_2, thanks for posting the picture of the target shot with the Ruger rifle, I gotta have one now.
I noticed the load used for the test group was loaded with H4831.
I've been shooting IMR4831 in my Remington 700BDL Varmint with a 95 gr Nosler BT bullets so maybe working up an accurate load for the Ruger will not take a lot of doing, I may be able to use the same load in both rifles.
I've checked the distributors I normally deal with and none seem to have any of the Ruger rifles in stock right now, however I will be buying me one.

No problem Hunter. Ryan just uploaded a video as well. Post says he should have a review soon.

Is this a tactical rifle? Like a sniper rifle? Sure look the part. Neat gun.
McMillan gives their interpretation of "tactical", here. I think it's fairly accurate and in sync with how most of us would interpret the term.
