I'm a Ruger fan And when I wanted to upgrade to two new hunting rifles for my son and I, I didn't hesitate to buy two rifles.
Being a Ruger fan and owning several Ruger rifles and pistols, I had no thoughts that something wouldn't be right with them.
Taking them to the range, 100 yards with 4 different kinds of ammunition, I was not able to make anything smaller than 4" - three round groups with either rifle.
I tried again a few months later, same results with several more brands and weights of ammunition. ......4" groups.
The worst part of it is the "flyers", using a Caldwell sled and careful aim, 6" and 8" flyers out of the groups were not uncommon. :shock:
Since then, I traded them both off and bought two Tikka T3X's, now, my groups are 1/2" MOA....
HAS ANYONE had this kind of experience with the Ruger American in 30-06?
