The_Vigilante Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Received an ad via email from Ruger advising they are introducing a pistol/rifle tomorrow that "everyone will want." Anybody have any ideas of what their new offering will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Perhaps the "Gunsite Scout Rifle", as reported by The Shooting Wire. Box magazine feed 308 bolt gun with an ~18in barrel. I've always liked the concept (I have a Remington 660). Maybe it will finally take off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Man Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) The M77 Scout has been released. LCP's big brother is the big news. Edited January 3, 2011 by Middle Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFlowers Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Supposedly the announcement is at 2:00pm EST today (Monday, Jan 3, 2011). Personally, while I like the Ruger firearms I own, I can't think of anything "new" that falls into the "must own" category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFlowers Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Even when it's "just marketing", if you are going to hype it that hard you need to at least produce something capable of meeting some of the hype. Producing a black copy of a Kel-Tec is not doing that. So either I am seriously jaded, or has marketing gone so far that we no longer expect anything from hype?

GentlemanJim Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 My guess is that its a pretty good little gun...Ruger has always been about price point To build a good product for a good price, not a TOP tier product with a price tag to match I would give it a chance, and see how it performs Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Producing a black copy of a Kel-Tec is not doing that. So either I am seriously jaded, or has marketing gone so far that we no longer expect anything from hype? I think Jim's got a good point. While Ruger's not inventing the wheel here, they usually put out a pretty good product at a good price. I guess it makes sense for a company, from a sales standpoint, to hype up a new product, whether or not it's completely original, in order to sell it. This is true of EVERY product, gun or otherwise. So I would imagine that a Ruger rep might say that it differs a lot from a kel-tec in that RUGER produces it and their products are built solid with great prices....yada yada yada.

GentlemanJim Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I have a good friend that runs an indoor range He also rents guns to shoot...they had several Keltecs that just flat flew apart at a few k rounds. They will give this new gun a try as a rental....that should tell the whole story Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David.Hylton Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Wonder how long it will actually take for it to hit the shelves. It seems like it takes a Ruger about a year from announcement to seeing it in stock. The announcement says shipping in February, but I remain skeptical.

J-Ho Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Ruger seems to have really stepped up their game after the passing of Mr. Ruger. Just like Jim mentioned, they are about price point. They have always made ugly stuff that works but it seems like they are a little more flexible these days. Yes the LCP was a pretty close copy of the Kel Tec but Ruger pretty much caused the little 380 boom. Personally I don't have a use for this gun, I like my Kahr just fine. But after the LCP (no it wasn't perfect but it's good enough) I think this little gun will do just fine. good on Ruger. One of these days, I might actually own one ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jar Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I might be interested if it didn't have a manual safety and a magazine disconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
