It took 6 months, but UPS finally did pay me for the Ruger.... I had to get estimates of repair from Gun Smiths, etc. I would supply them information, then they'd wait a while, when we'd call them back, they would then say they needed something else. They gun was not over $3500, so in the end it all worked out.
I actually came out ahead, because UPS paid me full value of the rifle, and then Ruger fixed it for free. I wasn't expecting that from Ruger, at the time I thought my only option would be to have a new stock made, which was more expensive than the value of the gun. On a last second whim, I called Ruger to see if I could just get it replaced by them, after checking serial #'s etc, they told me to ship it to them. I was expecting to be billed for the work, but next thing I knew, it was back at my FFL and they'd done the work at no cost, other than shipping.
Ruger is top of my list when it comes to customer service. :-)
