The rifle’s smoked bronze Cerakote finish, folding MSR stock, and M-Lok handguard make it equally suitable for field or competition use.

This example presents in Excellent overall condition with minimal handling wear. The bore is bright with sharp rifling and rates 9.5/10, and the rifle retains about 99% of its original finish. The Ruger MSR stock adjusts cleanly for length of pull and comb height, and the handguard and rail are unmarred.
