Today at SHOT Show 2026, Luke C ( @BallisticAviation) speaks with Tabor from Ruger about the all-new Harrier rifle line — Ruger’s latest take on the affordable AR-15 platform built for the working man. We cover everything from design philosophy and materials to performance, pricing, and where the Harrier fits in Ruger’s growing lineup of modern sporting rifles. If you’re looking for a reliable, American-made AR that won’t break the bank, the Harrier is definitely worth checking out in 2026.
