Following the mid-2025 acquisition of the former Anderson Manufacturing facility in Hebron, Kentucky, Ruger has officially launched the <b data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"198\">Harrier<\/b>\u2014a new line of modern sporting rifles designed to dominate the &#8220;workhorse&#8221; AR-15 market.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">At SlavGuns, we\u2019re always looking for gear that offers the best &#8220;bang for your buck,&#8221; and the Harrier seems aimed directly at the space currently occupied by Palmetto State Armory and the Smith &amp; Wesson M&amp;P15.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"3\">The Hebron Connection<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">The big story here isn&#8217;t just the rifle, but where it\u2019s built. By taking over the old Anderson plant\u2014one of the highest-volume AR component factories in the world\u2014Ruger has effectively absorbed massive production capacity. While the Anderson brand is being retired, the &#8220;Poverty Pony&#8221; heritage of high-volume, affordable manufacturing is being upgraded with Ruger\u2019s legendary quality control and &#8220;Rugged, Reliable&#8221; engineering.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"5\">Two Paths: Model 28601 vs. Model 28600<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Ruger is launching the Harrier with two primary configurations, both chambered in 5.56 NATO with 16.10&#8243; barrels.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"7\"><b data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Harrier Standard (Model 28601)<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"8\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">MSRP:<\/b> $699.00<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Furniture:<\/b> Traditional A2-style pistol grip and buttstock.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Handguard:<\/b> Partial Picatinny rail with M-LOK slots.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Vibe:<\/b> This is your &#8220;slick&#8221; entry-level rifle. It\u2019s light, functional, and gets the job done without any extra bulk.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"9\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Harrier Upgraded (Model 28600)<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"10\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">MSRP:<\/b> $749.00<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Furniture:<\/b> Upgraded Magpul MOE-K2 pistol grip and Magpul stock.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Handguard:<\/b> Full-length Picatinny top rail with M-LOK slots.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Vibe:<\/b> The &#8220;tactical&#8221; option for shooters who want more modularity and better ergonomics out of the box.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"11\">The SlavGuns Take: Is the $50 Upgrade Worth It?<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">In our opinion, <b data-path-to-node=\"12\" data-index-in-node=\"16\">yes<\/b>. For a mere $50 difference, the Model 28600 is a no-brainer. You\u2019re getting a significantly better pistol grip (the MOE-K2 offers a better angle for modern shooting stances) and a much nicer adjustable stock. If you bought these parts separately, you\u2019d spend more than $50 and have to deal with the shipping and installation yourself.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">The handguard choice is where it gets personal.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"14\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Partial Rail (28601):<\/b> We love the weight savings here. Unless you\u2019re planning on mounting a laser, a thermal, and a secondary light, the partial rail keeps the front end nimble and easy to swing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Full Rail (28600):<\/b> If you\u2019re a &#8220;gear junkie&#8221; who runs multiple optical accessories\u2014like a red dot + magnifier + night vision\u2014the full-length rail is mandatory. It gives you the real estate you need without compromise.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"15\">The New King of Value?<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">Ruger has a reputation for entering a market and immediately setting a new standard for value. With the Harrier produced in the specialized Hebron facility, they are clearly positioning themselves to compete with the likes of PSA and S&amp;W. If these rifles deliver the reliability Ruger is known for at a sub-$700 street price, they\u2019re going to be a massive hit.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">We\u2019re excited to see what else comes out of the Kentucky plant. For now, the Harrier looks like a terrific entry into the AR world for anyone who wants a solid, American-made rifle that doesn&#8217;t break the bank.<\/p>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"18\" \/>\n<p
