This is all about commercialization for pushing of the 350 legend, which is obvious by the number of options available in the 350 Legend from Ruger. Dont get me wrong, the 350 is a great round in its own right, but denying options to your consumers for every other caliber that you offer is not a good business model. Requiring that we purchase a rifle and then spend over $100 on a compact stock is not good customer service or customer relations. But Ruger has a history of not being the greatest listener to their customers anyhow.
I think Ruger has done a great job. It took cz until 2018 to chamber the Grendel launched in 2004. Guys were quickly rebarrelling 7.62x39s from like 2005 onward. I buy factory so I had to wait all that time to get my cz Grendel. Sad eh? Ruger got with program pretty quick imo. I applaud the ar magazine and American ranch. Great little rifle. Id like to see more options too but Ruger is ahead of the rest in terms of quicker to market than most. Good team with hornady.
X100 to more youth models
