I have a semi-auto set up and I think 16 x 20rd are enough. So toss in another $30 for a sling and $100 FOR 5 x Pmags (it comes with 3)... still under $2850...
Here is a link to the Ruger video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15YkjtV_ud0
Quite the rifle, 5R rifling included... adjustible trigger pull... WOW... This will set the standard for new long range shooting (over 1000 yds). The only downside to this rifle is that I am likely to see one at my spring shoot, and it should be superior to my DPMS set up... argh...
Would probably want optics on it, which brings it up another $300-$400 with rings.
See my post above... The scope, rings and bi-pod will cost ya over a grand alone.

Nice pick! I wish I had something of that quality and power when I was 10. I wish him the best of luck with with it.
He should NEVER let his first rifle to be sold, traded, bartered, etc. It should stay in the family forever. He may even start now and write a dated log about everything he does with his first rifle. Information like this will be of great knowledge for your great, great grandkids and beyond. Also tell him to keep the box and any papers that came with it in pristine condition.
I found wrapping boxes in Saran Wrap and paperwork in a Zip-Lock works okay, I have paperwork that's over 40 years old that looks new.

thank you, i will tell him to do so, he is a very responsible boy im sure he will do so. yea i tried to get him to bite on the 22 but he wanted a little more power so i said heck with it and got him what ever he wanted. (in price range of course) i will tell him about the zip lock bags.
