Ruger cut off most of my description so I thought I would lay out the idea here.
The idea is something that Ruger would and could actually make using existing Ruger parts/design concepts.
Basically it is a stainless rifle using a distributor exclusive they make for AcuSport which has a 18" threaded barrel (or a cut down 16" bbl for the compact version). It includes the mud guard (to protect the muzzle/crown from dirt, cement etc while in prone. And of course the threaded barrel allows the use of any other kind of muzzle device (comps, flash hider, suppressor)
Peep and post sights are off a Mini 14/30 in order to utilize existing Ruger design. Though Tech Sights or the Nodak rear with rail is a preferred option.
A pictinny rail is added for optic mounting.
Stock is directly from the Ruger American Rimfire and gives the option of standard or compact, iron or optic sights and a sling
By using Ruger parts/existing designs it might just be affordable.
