    I don't know on this one I'm torn..

    On the one hand I waited and bought a fantastic wood rem 700 with optics that shoots factory sub MOA all day long... So would suggest this if the issue is $ for value I'd say wait... and watch.

    However I've also put my name on a wait list for a Ruger American in 300 blackout when they arrive early in the new year. But this is going to be my tight bush gun hence synthetic over wood I like the idea of the v block for accuracy, and reviews tend to bear this out and the pre turned barrel for a supressor and a bit of work on the trigger to lighten down a tad. I know I can then throw big 225 gr subs and super it with 112 or 125 gr quite happily.

    Going with this and swapping a optic to put a 3-9 leopold on this will free up additional funds for either a Sightron or Vortex scope for my safe queen as a result. Hopefully this should finish my current need to cover things..... For now...
