Nothing wrong with Rugers, mate. They're built as hunting rifles and built to last. I have an American centrefire and am very pleased with it. I had an issue with the original mag (one of the original .223s) where the final round would occassionally stovepipe. They learned about this and changed the design of the follower ever so slightly.
They had me contact Nioa and I had a new redesigned mag sent to my lgs from their next shipment. I got a call when it arrived. Walked in, handed them my old mag, was given a new mag, walked out, no questions asked.
New mag has functioned flawlessly, and as an aside, you can load a 6th round into the 5 round mag, though I don't like to. But good to know I can have seven rounds in the rifle if I have to go for a walk.
Also, if you get a card saying you get a free cheek pad if you register it, I suggest you do so, as they honour it even in Aus. Good cheek pads, too. Have a zip pouch (handy for boresnakes) and ammo loops.
