Ruger's "New Unannounced Product" Flash Sweepstakes

[Raoul Duke]

I'm in. According to the sweepstakes rules, it has a value between $800-1200. Seems like that would be a bit high for either a pump 12 gauge or a .44 rifle.

If we are talking MSRP's here, a pump shotty along the lines of a KSG or takedown .44 autoloader may just fall within that price range.

Gotta keep the dream alive!

Tough luck y'all... looks like David from NC took the prize. I guess we'll find out Monday what the new gun is.

Perhaps a slightly lengthened Mini-14 in .308 since they've already brought out their version of the AR-10?

Maybe in a bullpup configuration, Tavor style?

Well, crap. Looks to me like Ruger really blew this one.

It's a Gunsite Scout in 5.56, and MSRP is about $1000. And it doesn't take AR mags.

I'm a Ruger guy, but this is not what I was hoping for.

Yeah I'm disappointed too.

Ruger and disappointment: Now, there's a fresh combination.

I think it's kinda cool, not $1000 cool though.

Yawn.

Meh, color me underwhelmed too.

As a loyal, dedicated, Ruger fanboy, it really pains me to say that I'd probably buy both of these two Mossberg Patrols(27716/27738) instead, since I can pick up both at retail for what the MSRP of one GSR is.

Sure the GSR's are better, I am certainly not suggesting they aren't, but just not by that much of a difference in price, imho.

It would have been more exciting to me if they had just announced that the new product was going to be a centerfire, stainless steel, compact, threaded barrel, American model equipped with iron sights and a modular American Rimfire style stock at an MSRP somewhere midway between the American centerfires and GSR MSRPs.
