ruger american

So after years of waffling and research I finally pulled the trigger on a 221 fireball rifle build. I found a cheap used Ruger American ranch in 300 blk, and I just ordered a #1 contour Shaw 19" barrel. It's a barrel nut style for the American action, so I want to get a better nut too, but the...

I have been enjoying my Ruger American Predator 223 with AR Magazine since early this fall. It's a nice shooter. Recently I purchased a Boyd's Thumbhole Stock and have been working on bedding the steel V-Blocks into the lumber. Boyd's included a glass filled polymer AR Magazine well and...

Thr resurrected thread on the ruger American's great accuracy with steel case ammo has again piqued my interest. I have read several reports that this ruger in x39 can accomplish about 1moa with steel case ammo. All reports I have heard, read, or experienced seem to indicate that steel case...

I am looking for a new coyote rifle, but contrary to my standard SOP I am not trying to pour my life savings and kids college money into this new rifle. I want to spend $500 or less and am looking at the Ruger American Predator chambered in .22-250. I've handled one in the store but I'm not...

After poking around a bit, I've come to the conclusion that I need a rifle to fill a currently unoccupied niche in my collection. Deer, antelope, bear and maybe elk is the quarry, but the rifle/caliber combination is where I'm stuck. I've narrowed it down to four rifles and three calibers...
