A .308 on a 5.56 sized gun. I am betting this will sell like hotcakes.

Yawn, I am not a buyer. Is this new/innovative in some way? I would not know as I have no interest in the so-called black rifles. As always, I hope Ruger sells a bunch!

Well, yeah. It is innovative. AR10s are much bigger and heavier than AR15s. To make a .308 in a 5.56 size package is pretty dang cool, IMHO.

Well, I did hear several things. One, none have hit any distributors yet (as of yesterday) Lipseys has them listed and shown but out of stock. Davidsons doesn't show anything about them. I also heard that Ruger wants to set up a package deal for distributors, etc., buy $xxxx ( I read $4000) of certain items to get a SFAR (really not that unusual for a gun maker to do that, gets some of the slower moving guns out of their warehouses.)
