New models are now comparable with AI & AR mags. They also have a 6.5 Grendal.

I would say the Grendel if it didn't have a 22" barrel. Truck gun should be a little shorter. Too bad they didn't make a 6.8 in the Predator with an 18" barrel or a Ranch in a 16" barrel.

I'll see the Hornady/Ruger guys tomorrow at the Safari Club show. I'll ask them when these "hi-cap" rifles will start shipping

What's dumb is that for about $10 on their end they could put a much better stock on those. But I guess that would cut into sales of their other models.

Just playing the devils advocate... would a $10 more expensive stock make a difference? Every synthetic stocked gun I own still wears its factory original "tupoware" stock and shoots great. I think people like to change the aesthetics and perhaps shape/style of a stock much more than they improve is function/accuracy when replacing a stock.

i put a bipod on one of those tupoware stocks. Then it shot a pattern instead of a group.

Partially the reason I ask is because mine all shoot fine with a bipod on.
