Very nice. When can I shoot it?

Nice. Let us know how it shoots.

Wow...just made a couple of corrections to my OP....barrel length & twist....a 68 year old goat typing on an iPhone can be dangerous.....

Ohhhh....almost forgot, also comes with factory installed picatinny rail.....

Also, awaiting the release to market of Ruger's new SR Suppressor (.22 cal) it's a direct thread and can be disassembled for cleaning. I think MSRP is going to be $425....

Nice! I really like the modularity of that new Ruger stock...smart move by Ruger, IMO.

Good choice, KiloKilo. I do not own a quieter rifle. Turtles shudder at the sound of my name.

I've got one as well, it's a tack-driver!

Cheers! M2

Yep.....it is a great little rifle...here's the first 6 rounds....40 gr CCI @ 50 yds. With 15 mph 90 degree x-wind.

I'm back in the shop now to reduce the trigger pull, seems to be the heaviest 5#. Gonna lower it to 3#, run a brush & patches thru it and go back to the range.....

BTW, which Vortex scope are you using ? I'm looking for one with a Mildot retical...

I had one for my kids, great shooter, I bought an early one. If it were threaded I prob would have kept it.

You can buy alot of cans for that $425, I'd recommend the AAC

I actually ditched it in favor of the Nikon Prostaff Target EFR Rimfire Rifle Scope 3-9x 40mm, which I'm very happy with. The Vortex had too much parallax shift and the turtles were laughing at me.
