My only hopes with Ruher releasing this, is that maybe just maybe, the round gets a bit more popular for someone to freaking make a bolt gun in it.
Knowing Ruger, they'll listen to consumers, and....
Release a semi carbine in 5.7 next.
sigh
Yup. I think it was Mossberg or Savage that tried to make a bolt gun for it that flopped? Not sure why - some people said there were accuracy problems, which doesn't make sense to me.
I think it would be a mistake for Ruger to try to compete with the PS90. Sure, they could probably do a camp carbine that takes the 57 mags, but since I already have three PS90s, why would I want a camp carbine? Sure it would probably sell, but I would rather have the PS90 or even an AR57.
Unless they made a better bullpup that would take the PS90 mags (which I really doubt they would), I would only be interested in a bolt or lever action, even a single shot (especially if it was a lightweight single shot). I would really like to see a really lightweight bolt/lever action that took the 57 mag (it would be a good idea if they made a 5 round mag so it would be legal for hunting).
But most likely we will see a semi-auto rifle.
