New and broken
sparky0068:
5.56, the part has a fracture that was present and a seperate fresh break, I'm not worried Ruger will make it right.

I was considering a Remington 700 the other day and somewhat horrified by what that firearm has become. Kind of sad where price point has taken quality.

I totally agree with you on the Remington and now the Marlin brand they picked up and have made a joke of. The horror stories on these abound. But I am still willing to give Ruger a pass on this one. At least for now. I have bought two new Rugers in the last few years and both have been excellent. It looks like Sparky wound up with a flawed part that made it past the QC department. Let us know how they handle the issue. I will be interested to know because I have been eyeballing the new Precision Rifle of late.
DenmanShooter:
I have a couple questions...
When you say you "picked it up" apparently you did not open and inspect.
Did you buy online and just pick it up at a FFL who did the transfer?
Did you actually purchase it at a local shop?
I never complete the transaction until I inspect the goods, but that's just me, I guess.

Purchased local, I did inspect, the part that broke was under a shroud that is not easy to remove without tools, the shop swapped the entire gun out and is sending it Ruger, they have seen a couple similar issues lately, the new was torn down and not picked, zero issues upon detailed inspection.
