Looks like a Tikka with a Savage trigger.
Personal opinion, but the '06 version would benefit from having a 24" barrel. At 22", the '06 and .308 are equal performers. 150- and 165-grain bullets, anyhow.
with all the other options that have shown to shoot well in this price range it wil take a while of many solid reviews to displace the current cream. With names like the Stevens, axis, venture, vanguard, as well as sales on savages, remingtons, tikkas, etc it will take a rifle that consistently performs to make the ruger a value.
I like the three position safety on my M70 right there on the bolt where it belongs.
It's nice to see everyone's got their mind made up about the rifle's quality (or lack thereof) before ever actually seeing one.
go to Gunblast.com and see the machine marks on the receiver, the mold marks on the stock, the ill fitting plastic magazine, plastic trigger guard, et, et. et.
This from a rifle you know Ruger made perfect, as it was being shipped to a respected internet gun writer for a review.
Did you not see the 5/16th inch group? You left that part out.
Did the gun market really need another budget bolt gun that isnt that much different from what is already out there? .
Looks like a Tikka T3...

Bet it won't shoot as good out of the box.......
Did you see the test groups.
With an MSRP of $450 (which is less than a tikka retail) street price will be real close to $300
Honestly guys! I want to know how you make a new bolt action in the 21'st century that doesn't borrow some design elements employed in other models.
Last I checked a Mustang and Prius both have the motor up front and have four wheels. Does that make the Prius a copy of a mustang.

I suupose you saw the hollow plastic stock
Integrated rings
If I could get one in .25-06. I would sell my XL-7, and buy one.
