Rifles chambered in .350 Legend, like this new Ruger AR-556 MPR seen in Indy last week, are not exclusively destined for the so-called “straight-wall states” but you can bet that sportsmen there will be interested. (Photo: Chris Eger/Guns.com)
Ruger had three rifles chambered for the new Winchester-designed straight-walled .350 Legend cartridge at the NRA Annual Meeting in Indy last week.
The new round, which premiered at SHOT Show earlier this year and caused buzz for its attributes that included a claim to the throne of the fastest production straight wall cartridge on the market, offers more energy than the classic .30-30 Win. with less recoil than the .243 Win. Ruger this month added the chambering to two models of their American Ranch Rifle and one of their AR-556 MPR.
“We heard our customers loud and clear, and are proud to answer their call,” said Ruger President and CEO Chris Killoy. “We anticipate the woods of Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, and many other states will be full of new Ruger rifles this fall.”
The .350-caliber MPR uses a 16.38-inch nitrided barrel with a radial-port muzzle brake that uses 1/2x28TPI threads. The rifle includes a Ruger Elite 452 AR-trigger, Magpul furniture and a 15-inch free-float handguard
