Rugar American Hunter?
« on: March 02, 2018, 01:59:03 PM »
Been interested in this gun, more then likely chambered in 243 for my daughters deer gun/ my predator gun! Any reviews good or bad? Seems priced ok!

Go buy it. Pretty sure more then half the people on here own one including myself. No bells and whistles but they shoot great and you’re never worried about dinging it up.

People seem to love them for the price. 

Carpsniperg2 on here sells Ruger. 

I've bought from him 4-5 times.   Great to deal with.

I wonder how many people will touch their nose to their screen trying to read this...

Good choice, my buddy's daughter Leah shoots on in 7-08 she put a whitetail in the dirt at 300 this year with one shot. She also dropped a blacktail but that was much closer.

She likes that it's synthetic as her last rifle the stock would swell up in the rain. No hesitation for the price new its hard to beat, should work great.

I completely agree.

Probably the worst fit and finish of any rifle I’ve had but they freaking shoot.

Wife has one in .243 and load development took 30 mins. 1/2-3-4” all day with 95 grain Nosler BTs
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I just bought one in 6.5 c a few weeks ago. Brownells sells a nice magpul stock of you want to upgrade. I have yet to shoot mine but looking at reviews, very solid shooter right out of the box.
