Ruger American in 243

[6haase6]

Got offered a ruger American in 243 for $250. Has three boxes down the pipe. Has a scope on it but he didn't say what scope. Good deal or not?

Good deal, even without a scope assuming it's not trashed.

Good deal, even without a scope assuming it's not trashed.

   But check the price of a new one, also.  Those Ruger Americans are a great value, and are reasonably priced.   The mounting system for the scope might make it a sweet deal, even if you don't like the scope.  Plus the savings in Sales Tax, etc. over the cost of a new one!

Any of you guys have this exact gun? What ammo worked best? I hand load and I'm a nosler guy. Was thinking about running 55 grain ballistic tip.

My brother has one, 100gr partitions is what he likes. Very good deal on a nice gun. Tell him you want it and sell it to one of us for the same price if you dont like it.
