Title: Ruger american rifle
Post by: birdwacker 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.

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.

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:

i still like my Tikka better but the ruger they tested in Gunblast shot moa. Now if they make a stainless one in 6.5 creedmore I might be tempted to get one.

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.
