BarryinIN Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share 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.

Tom Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 The receiver looks a bit like a Tikka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfahrt Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryinIN Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryinIN Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'd be all over one of these if Ruger would offer the short action version in 7.62x39. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
