2024年11月15日 · For a HUNTING rifle, I'd get the Gen2 because the three position safety locks the bolt closed (down) so it can't lift or open while carrying the rifle. The Gen1 guns don't lock the bolt down & the bolt can lift (causing a misfire at just the worst time) or they can open entirely allowing the cartridge to fall out & debris to get in the action ...

2023年7月29日 · Oh, and another plug for Promag 10-round magazines. I wasted so much time and effort trying to make the garbage Ruger brand 10-rounders work. Those terrible magazines almost made me give up on the rifle. The Promags have worked perfectly and now the Ruger American, with its high-reliability and excellent accuracy, is my go-to rifle.

2021年4月6日 · The Ruger's flat sided action looks deceivingly like something that could be secured in a vice and a band wrench used to crack the nut loose. The right tools and go gauges could make for a lot o fun. Thanks, Bill.

2012年8月5日 · Sounds like a good rifle/cartridge combination. I absolutely LOVE the .270 Winchester, and the Ruger American is the best rifle I have ever seen for the price. My LGS is selling them for $349.99 right now....

2018年3月16日 · The Ruger American Predator is a good rifle as is the Ruger American Rifle is as good other than not having a threaded barrel. I am going to also throw another suggestion the Thompson Center Compass comes with a threaded barrel …

2012年10月21日 · Took my new 270 American rifle to the range to sight it in on 12-13-12 and used 270 Win. 130 grn. ammo. Shot 15 rounds. The Problem is that after each shot, opening the bolt required extra force. Has anyone with other calibers had this problem or is it just the 270? I have e-mailed Ruger and hope to hear from them soon.

2022年5月24日 · Shot again yesterday testing Hornady 140 grain and 129 grain Interlocks. Best loads were: 140 grain with Hybrid 100V/40.5 grains, yielded a three shot group of .559" at 100 yards; ES-27, SD-11.

2014年10月29日 · The American is an entry level gun, albeit accurate and reliable. The Hawk eye is made to the traditional standards of a mid to higher grade hunting rifle: fit, finish, material, etc. If you are just trying to put meat on the table, or use the rifle exclusively as …

2022年10月16日 · First off, I have a Ruger American Predator (RAP) left hand in 308 Win. Ser # 6908xxx. I purchased it recently and I immediately shortened the barrel to 18" since I really just want a maneuverable gun for deer hunting from a box-blind.

2014年3月14日 · I bought a Ruger American 30.06 yesterday evening. Today I tried to cycle some of my 30.06 rounds that work perfectly in my M1 Garand, but these same rounds won't seat in the Ruger. They will come off the magazine okay, and go into the chamber, but the bolt refuses to close. Not sure what's up.
