Anyone own and/or have used the Ruger American for hunting? I'm taking up deer and, probably later, wild boar hunting for the first time, so I'm shopping for a hunting rifle in 30-06 (maybe .308).
I've researched the Ruger American, and I'm thinking of ordering it online. One of my concerns is that the build quality may not be up to pair. I've heard some say it "feels cheap." Is there anything else I should look for or be concerned about?
I'm wondering what some of you more experienced and seasoned rifle and hunting aficionado think about this rifle. I'm also open to other affordable suggestions as well.
Thanks!
