Mine. Alllllll mine……<\/p>\n

\"Ruger<\/a>

I picked it up this weekend from my friend Reese at The Nashville Gun Company<\/a>. Not a fan of the Mossy Oak stock, but colors are about the least important feature of a tool.<\/p>\n

Two cool things about this particular catalog item (11140, if you’re interested–and I think it’s a distributor exclusive to AcuSport) is that the bag it comes with is brown instead of black, and it came with a BX25 magazine instead of the standard 10 round rotary magazine.<\/p>\n

When I was picking it up, I casually mentioned that I was going to need to pick up a scope base for it, and Reese informed me that it came with one from the factory. Since I was planning on using the PEPR and Sweet-22 combo I took off the M&P15-22 when I realized it wasn’t going to work out<\/a> on that rifle, that was great news.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, as has been the case several times<\/a>, things didn’t work out the way I planned:<\/p>\n

As Oddball put it: “That’s frustratingly<\/i> close.” So now I need to decide if I’m going to buy a picatinny base<\/a>\"\" or another set of $20 QD rings<\/a>\"\".*<\/p>\n

One thing about the rifle that kinda surprised me was that the barrel band is…plastic:

And the screw that clamps the barrel band is clearly much longer than it needs to be:

And of course the reason I bought this model was BECAUSE THREADED BARREL:
\n\"IMG_3676\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I’ll need to take that off and get a thread protector. Also I need more magazines because the answer to “how many magazines do you need” is always “More.” I have two from my Tec-22 that will work but I’m going to need more than that.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*As it turns out, Ruger’s base is Weaver and the PEPR is Picatinny so it would’t fit anyway. Weaver rings will fit in a Picatinny base, but Picatinny rings won’t fit on a Weaver Rail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
