The Ruger Gunsite is still on my want list.
Like to have a Steyr, but that is also twice the price. Same goes for magazines.
Where I live, single digits and even negative temps are not unusual. I need a rifle I can count on when I squeeze the trigger, it goes BANG!
Not CLICK!
I have had that experience with the M16A2 service rifle happen to me too many times for comfort.
