Ruger american rifle
« on: January 02, 2012, 09:35:51 AM »
Ruger has a new rifle out that looks like a Tikka mated with a TC venture and it shoots as good as they do!  WWW.gunblast.com or www.ruger.com :yike:

It kinda resembles a Tikka but it will never replace my Tikkas.
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

I wonder what calibers will be available, and if it is still Ruger strong as far as the action is concerned.    Looks like a sweet gun.  Wonder if it will be available in stainless. 
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

Ruger has long needed to answer the S&W, Remington, Savage Axis, Marlin XL series, with a feature packed entry level rifle. No show quality Walnut or deep polished bluing just pure function for a good price. Hopefully they'll expand the line to be SS with other choices as Marlin did.

High point is:
The NRA says I'm a Master!
Colt's, Ruger's, Dan Wesson, & Kimber are my friends!
Proud to be a U.S. Navy Veteran.

If you never follow your dreams, you'll never go anywhere.

Critical thinking keeps people from freaking the hell out every time some half baked blogger forgets his meds. Unlike some of you, I do not have TawkethOutOfAnus© syndrome.

kinda ugly, but will probably be a good entry level rifle for those that need one!

Interesting. It looks like it could be a good competitor for Savage and Tikka. I wonder what the MSRP is on one of those.

Personally, I usually go for tried and true over being an early adopter.
