I'd buy one, Ruger has always made good stuff.  Why shouldn't they get in on the black rifle market?  I know what you mean, Bill was always about making his own products, but what is a Blackhawk, Single Six, Redhawk or Mini-14 but a remake of an old idea.  If anybody can reinvent the wheel Ruger can.

Not a bad price once you add up the mags, TI rail and sights, Hogue grip, and piston system. 

Nicely done.
