Know of any retail locations that have these in stock? I have a friend looking for one.

No, I don't. I was one of the first ones to get the rifle and my gunsmith had to special order it. There was a shop in Enid that said that they had gotten in two of them and the customers just loved them.

I'm not crazy about the forward Scout Scopes and a regular scope works very fast and well for me, so I was thinking about a .308 youth bolt rifle as a general hunting gun. Academy has the Remington 700 ADL youth for $349 including scope, but I would rather have the Ruger and the Mauser action, I just don't know if it is worth over double the price to me.

How about an oversized bolt knob and a winter trigger guard? Anyway ya gotta love its looks. Tacti-cool bolt gun! It ought to be a big hit with pig hunters.

It wouldn't be a bad SHTF rifle either. It is actually kind of a fun rifle to shoot and now that Ruger says that mil-spec ammo is gtg in it, it should not be all that expensive to shoot. I have a bunch of South African and maybe a little Portuguese and even Indian surplus on hand and a bunch of German surplus coming in from New Jersey, and if I like the German stuff I'll order more of it. The supplies of 7.62mm NATO surplus are drying up, so I'll get all that I can of it.
And if push comes to shove, there's always Wolf.
