It was basically a Gunsite Scout... Ruger wouldn't sell the rights to Colt, no more Ruger NCRR...

Even the highest estimate ($49mil) puts 10,200 rifles (200 for testing) at $4804 each. The lowest ($20mil), a paltry $1960...
And even if you factor in the initial $1.5mil deposit, that's still only $4950 ea.
If that includes the soft & hard cases (Pelicans are not cheap), spare parts,
AND factory-spec servicing over 10-15yrs... Well $5000 is not that bad of a deal.
Given that its a Gov't procurement, it could've been a lot worse...
* More importanly,
ARE THERE ANY LEFT-HAND MODELS BEING MADE...?
