I picked up a Ruger American compact in 7mm-08 at Sportmans last week. I have yet to load any ammo for it. New factory ammo is too expensive and hard to find. I did make some 7mm-08 brass from some 7.62 LC brass. I have some 7x57's so I have bullets. I will also need a scope since it has no irons sights. kwg Ruger American compact |

I have one in 6.5. Not the compact tho. Insane accuracy for a cheap gun. Came with a 3 rd mag, and I bought the magpul AICS 7.62 mags too. Be aware if you use the magpul mags, and accidentally over insert them on an open bolt they will take a lot of force to get back out. Snap them in on a closed bolt, no issue. Also my pic rail was not mounted tight at all. All screws were barely snug. Attached File |

My American is the compact with an 18" barrel. I'm not sure a 16 power scope is what I want. I'm thinking more on the line of a 3-9. A 2-7 would be the bomb. kwg |
