BarryinIN Posted January 2, 2012 Report Posted January 2, 2012 Ruger announced a new rifle today- the Ruger American Rifle.http://www.ruger.com/products/americanRifle/index.htmlhttp://www.ruger.com/news/2012-01-02a.htmlMSRP $449Bolt action with 3-lug bolt, trigger that looks and sounds like the Savage Accu-Trigger, 4-shot rotary magazine (hmmm), 6.26 lbs (!), and conventional screw-on scape bases instead of the usual Ruger integral rings.It looks like that ugly Remington 770 with a Savage trigger.

BarryinIN Posted January 3, 2012 Author Report Posted January 3, 2012 I guess I could have put this up before. Quote
ausfahrt Posted January 3, 2012 Report Posted January 3, 2012 You just can't beat the looks of a bolt. The fact that it is American made is just icing on the cake. Quote
Pablo Posted January 4, 2012 Report Posted January 4, 2012 Nice. Please compare to my Savage Lightweight Hunter 11.The Ruger price looks nice. Quote
BarryinIN Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Posted January 30, 2012 I'm standing in the shop right now. They just got one in off the ups truck. $349 is what he is going to sell them for. Nice trigger. It looks better in person. It has a set of Weaver-ish bases on it. Quote

BarryinIN Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Posted January 31, 2012 If I do, it will be hearsay. I doubt I'll buy one. Nothing against it- I just don't see what it does that I don't already have. Quote
G-MAN Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 I'd be all over one of these if Ruger would offer the short action version in 7.62x39. Quote
