Now this is a move I’ll admit I did not see coming, but am very much a fan of. Ruger has released a hardwood stock variant of their 10/22 and American Rifle hybrid American Rimfire. The new version comes complete with all the normal American Rifle goodies including adjustable trigger, free-floated barrel, etc.
Now, the checkering is not to my taste, but the small added cost (retail for $449) adds significant value in my mind, as I still like my hunting rifles to be a solid wood stock. This falls Aurelius into competition with my Henry rifle for squirrel hunting.
The new variant is available now (I checked with distribution, its already in-stock for your local gun shop to order).
