      Love it, want one. I have one of these in 6.5 creed and one in 204, they are both plenty accurate. The biggest problem is the mag length of the 204 limits it to 2.27", which is ridiculous in a bolt gun. Now this has me thinking of a conversion to AR mags, stainless mags will get you 2.3 or a bit longer.

        I really am curious if we will see a Scout Rifle configuration, seems like it should be easy enough for Ruger to make those in 6.5 Grendel, if they come out with a version of the Mini 30 in 6.5 Grendel that can use AR mags that would be slick

          I wonder if this was as a direct answer to our requests to the CEO?? Anyway you look at this, Howa has some serious competition. I wonder how many Howas will hit the classifieds in the coming months.

          Its nice to see Ruger didn't just change barrels from their 7.62x39 guns. They changed the barrel length, contour, and the magazines.

          Thanks, Dinny

            If this is true it just blew my hope of a ranch rifle in the grendel. Another thing seems odd is they did not use the mags from the mini 30 like in the ranch rifle for the 7.62x39. Maybe Ruger can make theirs work better than my howa. At least if it is an AR mag you can get a 5 shot mag that will fit more flush with the bottom of the gun. Maybe I`ll just get one of these and have the barrel shortened.

                I think they're just using a P-mag for the marketing photo, and the marketing people don't yet realize the P-mag doesn't really allow Grendel usage.

                  Yeah it's the same pic for the 204 and I assume all the other small calibers they are coming out with using ar mags. The bigger calibers are listed as using ai mags.

                      Now all I need to do is find out when Boyds will make their stocks for this one. If they come out with the AT-1 that fits this bad boy, my grendel family might just grow by one more.......

                        Mine too. I'm waiting for the PC Carbine in 45 ACP.

                          Check their website. I'm pretty sure the AT-ONE and several other of their variations are all available for the RARR. Fitment kinda depends on the mag well.

                            I decked out a 300BLK RARR last year. It had a Matthew's kydex adjustable cheek riser, a Glades Tactical bolt handle and knob, and an A2 style flash hider. They were all easily assembled at home and required no gunsmithing.

                              I suspect we will have the same issue as I do with my 7.62x39 ruger american... the DBM magazine system is an integral part of the OEM stock and non removable so until someone makes a replacement we will be out of luck.

                                O. Well. I'll keep watching and see what develops. If you're right that's kind of a strike against it imo. Those plastic skinny stocks don't hold up under a bipod very well.
