fdh88 Report post Posted July 24, 2015 I'm looking at the Ruger American chambered in .308. Most reviews I've read are favorable. Does anyone have any experience with this rifle? I'm just curious to know what the quality is like due to the low price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goinhuntn Report post Posted July 24, 2015 Its a decent gun for the money, but it is basically an entry level rifle. It is comparable to the savage axis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
outdoor rush Report post Posted July 25, 2015 I have a Ruger American Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor and it shoots 1/2" groups with factory ammo. I am very happy with the rifle and would recommend it to anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nralifer Report post Posted July 25, 2015 You should check out the review of the Ruger American rifle in G&A (available on line) and then check out the new Ruger Precision Rifle. Both use the same bolt system, and have borrowed design concepts from Savage in that the trigger resembles the Accutriger and the barrel is secured to the action by a barrel nut. I do not own a Ruger bolt action, but I can tell you that both rifles peak my interest. The Precision Rifle is featured in the August issue of American Rifleman where it is discussed in detail.

khmer6 Report post Posted July 25, 2015 The trend will continue. the number of barrel lug and adjustable blade type triggers have exploded. Nearly everyone has on these days ruger savage Remington mossberg. It makes for a good shooter at a very low cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJ Long range Report post Posted July 25, 2015 My brother has a ruger American in 308. It's a good gun. Shoots factory ammo at around 3/4 Mia and reloads at 1/2. I wouldn't hesitate to get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
backcountry_brad Report post Posted July 25, 2015 I got an American not too long ago in .30-06 and love it so far. It's probably the best rifle you can buy for under $500 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
