I/ve never owned one of these rifles. I've seen them around. But IMO, if it has the Ruger name on it, you can count on it being a well made solid firearm. There are some aspects of Ruger firearms that I don't particularly like but I can't argue the fact that they are well made. Every Ruger I have owned - pistol, revolver, rifle - has never failed me.
I'd say if you want it - get it.
