That's a garbage resolution.I made an interesting New Years resolution to only buy one gun in 2018. I might as well get it over with early.

Ya somewhere around 70% of folks that start going to the gym don't keep going.That's a garbage resolution.
Which is why it is best to start a membership in March, shorter line from the beginning!Ya somewhere around 70% of folks that start going to the gym don't keep going.
Yes I do, and your points are well taken. I've got two reasons for my skepticism. First, I see the Ruger as a common man carbine, at a common man price. Once we involve changes to accommodate one cartridge over others, I still don't see the price as remaining common. Second, I'm old school. I see the 10mm auto cartridge in such a gun as the cusp between pistol cartridges and a nuclear meltdown. I just have a whole bunch of respect for this cartridge. I've seen one of these cartridges blow. I just hope such a release in the Ruger product would only happen after tons of research and development. I know they wouldn't offer it without this same R&D, but I've seen failures of many offerings over the years, in spite of R&D.
Regardless of the caliber, or interchangeable cartridge options of the future, I look forward to retiring this old wore-out thing.

I find it interesting that he's not straight-arming that gat.
I believe I am going to most likely need all the stock spacers with my ape-arms!
One of the first things I "hope for" on these is wood furniture. To "me" these would be amazing with wood stocks. Plastic has become so damn popular there may not be enough market for it these days but I hope so. Damn that little rifle would be awesome with nice wood stock and forearm, but if that doe's not happen I will still love having one.
I have nothing against wooden stocks, in fact I have preference for them on some rifles. However, I'm not sure I'd like one on a takedown rifle. If it was not a takedown then I'd already been in the wooden stock camp.One of the first things I "hope for" on these is wood furniture. To "me" these would be amazing with wood stocks.

How would it differ? In function? I have one takedown rifle with a wood stock and when you pull it apart you have the stock in two pieces - same as when it is put together.However, I'm not sure I'd like one on a takedown rifle.

Oh don't get me wrong! I would have preferred it in wood also but it would have most likely DOUBLED the price!Functionally it wouldn't be different. Just a preference.
That will of course be a sticking point, cost. I know I would love wood stuff on it. Not sure how much I would be willing to pay for it. Will have to wait and see what the after market does. If it ends up being as much as the rifle I guess I will live with the plastic. If someone comes out with one for under $200 or so? I would be VERY tempted. If it was in the $100 range? I would be ordering one right then and there. It will all come down to cost vs what the masses want to pay. Not that I will feel too bad if i have to live with the plastic stuffOh don't get me wrong!

Did not know they were doing that. That price I could live with enough to order up now. Will see if the other half wants wood for her's. If she likes it will get it for her. Then say look I got you this nice wood furniture for your 10/22 and I got "us" this nice PC9Ruger makes wood for the 10/22 takedown for $137, I suspect this one will be similar.
