I can purchase this rifle for $605.
I've been looking for a carbine length,
heavier barrel bolt in either .308 or 7mm08.
This Ruger is a bit shorter than I'd thought I wanted
(originally seeking an 18 or 20"),
but I'm sure I want something shorter than 22".
(I'm more interested in fast target acquisition at <100 m.)
A Leupold FX-2 (for front mount) is another $300.
I'm now thinking that if ... no, when, the SHT_,
.308 will still be more avail, so am leaning towards it.
(Not quite as flat as 7mm08,
but what's a mm or two @ 200m?)
But what I am mainly asking is this:
Anyone want to offer a strong case
for or against that Ruger Frontier?
And, as long as I'm dreaming out loud,
does anyone know if/how easy it would be to
install a tritium front sight
and maybe a ghost ring on the back?
