Ruger just announced they are teaming with Magpul with a rifle Stylized after Ruger's original Trapper Series rifle, this model features the new Magpul Industries ELG stock and forend. Constructed of reinforced polymer, the ELG furniture is durable and impervious to even the worst weather. Designed to be functional and attractive, the stock and forend are M-LOK and QD attachment capable. The stock also holds six rounds internally and comes with a cheek riser if needed. This should be a fun one to test.

i could be talked into it. Ive already got all my lookers, wouldnt mind having a couple on the utility side of he collection. I sure won't take any of my Cowboy models out in bad weather, or move twigs and brush out of the way with the barrel.
Apparently, tactical lever rifles have gained a good amount of popularity for Ruger to do this.
I'd rather have seen them reintroduce the 444P, maybe a threaded bbl, in walnut and PG.

Not my jam but there's a ton of young shooters that will buy that. Not everyone out there thinks a lever gun should be blued with walnut stocks.

Well, evidently, they don't care about us old traditionalist people.
You didn't mention the cal. not that I give to hoots.
The only thing I'm "really" interested in would be an 1894 in 41 mag. with the 18" barrel.
I (may) end up with one of the 357's, but would prefer the 41.

I love a rifle with beautiful wood furniture as much as the next guy, but I have no problem with this either. For a hunting rifle that gets tossed into the side-by-side and probably will get wet, this has some appeal.
My 336 Classic has fine looking walnut. My Guide Gun is brownish, laminated wood that looks OK and shoots great. The wood on my 3 JM Marlins ranges from “meh” to “that’s sweet!” but the oldest is from the early 1970s.
The funny thing is I hate the rail, not the stock. It just raises your optic up that much higher, interfering with getting a good cheek weld. And to my eyes it just looks “wrong”.

It is ugly. Having said that, as a nigh time hog hunter, that m lock system is handy for bolting on kill lights. It is just so dang ugly.
Ruger is only interested in the "Internet Commando" plastic crap.
I hounded them for a year and a half to get a Super Redhawk in 454, so they made them in 22 Hornet??
They're smok'n some hi grade ganja over there!??
If they make some nice lever guns with walnut and octagon barrels I'll consider one, until then?

I guess this is where the demand is? Maybe they need to run these out to pay the bills and build up profits so they can turn their attention to the traditional Walnut and blue rifles and classic calibers like 35 Rem and 444.
That rifle is not my cup of coffee but if it gets the younger shooters to buy lever guns---I am all for it. I will just stick to my old JMs.
Sorry, just not my cup of tea. I'll stick with my originals but there are some that will drool all over this one.
