[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 870643, member: 23486"] :) I appreciate the honest debate, thank you. I still find it hard to see why it's a [U]better[/U] rifle than the Savage (DPMS ok, you win). Does it shoot any better? No. Better looking? Maybe. Cost? I can't answer that, don't know what they cost. Your "ugly me to death" statement made me laugh. My latest Savage is a spitting image of those 4 words... but dang does it shoot. I have a custom or two that are decent though. What does the Ruger offer that other doesn't (I totally agree with your Remington statement, god help them). The Savage LRH offers a built in Muzzle brake, while not necessary, you can turn it off if you don't like it. The three screws are a PITA for sure; why work with them when you don't have to? As for the action, pressure is pressure right? It's bolt thrust that the big mags add... yet they offer the Ruger in any commercial cartridge I can think of (458 etc). I understand that Investment casting is pretty well different than "normal" casting but I still fear the unknown. How are the new Ruger triggers? The last one I worked with reminded me of the new X-Mark ..... junk :D. I guess it wouldn't be hard to drop in an aftermarket. In most short action cartridges, I wouldn't have a problem with bolting a picatinny mount to top of the Ruger but I do have to question it's strength compared to the more "conventional" methods. Thanks for keeping it light, sometimes it's hard to explain one's opinion without coming across as an ***. t [/QUOTE]
