I have two of the earlier ones, a Ranch in .300bo and a Predator in 6.5 Grendel. Both AR mag versions.
At $420 & $440 each they were good value, the Predator did require a bit of smoothing on the feed ramp but I'd blame that on the steep shoulder of the Grendel cartridge.
But when prices shot up I thought Ruger had stepped in it. Those rough edges I accepted for yesterday's prices were harder to overlook at over $600 msrp.
Now Ruger appears to have stepped up and added more value to the Ranch/Predator line.
