A little backstory, I am a pretty young guy having grown up in the firearm world and have only been able to buy my own for the past few years. With my desire to hunt that meant i was at the mercy of my parents and grandparent to give or purchase a rifle for me to use and typically they didnt want to spend a whole lot. This lead to my first centerfire being a savage axis in .223 and later when i wanted to hunt deer my grandmother upgraded me to a Ruger American in .308. Despite my jumble of different rifles that have come and gone i still have not found rifles that shoot better than those had for me in the past. In my opinion, the ruger american has pretty much killed the standards for utility of rifles that are $400+ and really set the bar high.
This lead to me walking into academy and seeing the american go wild edition that comes threaded, ceracoated and takes aics magazines in my local academy for a price i was more than happy to pay. This particular edition is in 6.5 Creedmoor, of which i will most likely seek reloading advice soon enough.
I completely understand one cannot replace quality fitting and a gorgeous wood stock but if you need something to shoot they are one heck of a deal in my opinion.
My question to you all is for those who own or have owned ruger americans, what do you all think of them? Are you one for the classier things or is this enough to fill your need?
