Thread: Ruger American rifle - thoughts?

They've always been my pick out of the 'budget' rifles; they blow the Savage Axis, Remington 770/710/783, Mossberg ATR etc out of the water.
Two of my mates have them and they are happy with them, yeah they have a crappy plastic overmoulded stock with plastic trigger guard, but then so does the Tikka T3X. Furley's (the Ruger importers) have been good to deal with re warranties etc in the past, I'd say find a retailer that deals through them and see if they can match the price, maybe $699 without a scope, then you're covered.
