Ruger American Rifle Question


CoolWhip

Recommended Posts

I'm looking for a nice .30-06 to get into long range and for hunting. Does anyone have any experience with the Ruger American Rifle? Can anyone recommend me a good .30-06? Preferably under $1000. (If you have one to sell even better!)

I have an American and it's been great. I wanted to do some hunting in Vermont and also some distance shooting. I have it set up with a Nikon Manarch, and I can't seem to miss. I've only shot it to 375 meters, but I really am happy with the rifle. I didn't need anything with a heavy barrel for what I plan to use it for.

Rem SPS, SPS Tac, 5R, etc. I prefer the heavy barrel versions in 20-26" lenghts. These usually come marketed as the more tatical models and usually have a B&C, Houge, or HS Precision stock.

DO NOT BUY ONE WITH THE TRIANGLE BARREL!!! Get a standard round barrel.
