I've unboxed my own Ruger American Gen 2 in 7mm-08. Great rifle. Added a Burris E1 4.5-14 ×42 scope and clipped the trigger spring for a nice 2.5 lb trigger pull and am getting 5/8 to 3/4 inch 100 yd groups with a couple of different factory loads. Nuff said!

I have a Gen 1 Go Wild addition and love it, other than the common RA complaints (stock, eye alignment). Did Ruger fix how much flex the forend had, It looks like they fixed some eye alignment issues with the new stock design: is it improved? I agree they look sweet! Merry Christmas!

@jefferytillis8309 7 ай бұрын

The forend is what I want to know about as well. Was the number one complaint about the first gen. Did they do anything to fix it?

The stock feels much stiffer than the original. I hope to get it to the range very soon and will be doing a video on it.

@@jefferytillis8309 I’ve seen a review and when he flexed it it was just as floppy. It wasn’t touching on the left hand side but was on the right. So epoxy filler time if you are going to use a bipod on the sling swivel. Disappointed, extra 300 -600 to spend on a upgraded stock/chassis.🥺🤷‍♀️

You can tell by a person 's personality and gun IQ. By his handling of his tools tossing it around play it down like junk. The manufacturer put the locks in all the tools you need there or accessories and bonus. Some state require lock when you walk out of the gun store so having one is necessary and by law

how much $$ cost rifle

@prfwrx2497 7 ай бұрын

730 MSRP. Damn good deal IMO. Cerakoted barreled action, CHF barrel, action glides (unlike on gen 1). Compared to gen 1 American with Magpul stock, it's 3 pounds lighter, has better bolt feel and finish (cerakote), and even if you buy the Magpul stock separate (you don't have to), it evens out MSRP wise. So you get a free stock and more refined action (same action, better finishing touches = smooth action vs corduroy feel). Ruger Americans shoot pretty good, so this + a cheap chassis or ruger hunter stock = budget compact PRS rig you can swap the stock for hunting with.

This is not a precision rifle, Ruger even states that. This is a hunting rifle. It's not designed to be a precision rifle, it's not marketed to be a precision rifle, it's designed and marketed as a hunting rifle. It will never give you groups like a precision rifle. It's funny how you think because a gun shoots better than you, makes it a precision rifle.

Interesting! Liked the 1 st. Gen. Why shorten the barrel? Especially on magnums,but also on standard calibers, lose velocity!!?? First thing comes off,is the muzzle brake!! Absolutely no need,especially in smaller,lighter calibers!! Pain in the ears for other shooters at the range,and need ear muffs when hunting!! Counter productive! Maybe catering to the”Cool” factor??? I like Ruger guns but shortening barrels will make me look elsewhere, when looking at a new gun!! Wait and see!!🤔🤔
