The Ruger American is just another cheap plastic gun to compete with the Remington 770, lower end 700s, Marlin, Savage and Mossberg.
It's nothing special, nothing fancy and the few I have seen were not that impressive. |

Overpriced.
The best buy in a basement model rifle these days is the Mossberg line. |

I'm not sure what some of you people are smoking, because around here I've seen the American Rifle selling for $330 brand new - please show me where you can even buy a Remington 700 action for that price.
Compared to the other offerings in the sub-$400 category, the Ruger would probably be my pick, despite my lack of interest in Ruger products. It's got an exceptionally smooth bolt, an extremely nice faux-Accutrigger, detachable mag, and sleek design. It doesn't look like Glock or Taurus shat out a bolt gun, which is far more than can be said for certain other bargain models out there today. |

I wish one of these companies would do a cheap bolt gun with a decent aperture sight instead a cheap scope mount.

Around here I'd say go to a gunshow and find a used one, I've never paid more than $400 for one. Gunshows vary though so who knows about the OPs area. |

I handled one at a C.A.L. Ranch store the other day. It was OK, but I think I'd rather have something more substantial. I didn't like the plastic magazine. It looked cheap & flimsy.

Look for a nice used Swedish Husqvarna. You can find a very nice rifle made of forged steel and walnut. Just look and don't be a schnook. https://www.simpsonltd.com/index.php?cPath=371&sort=2a&page=1&osCsid=d9ee064a9160ed3a1d5113b87797a086 |
