Why are so many folks so high on the Ruger American?? Just curious

It's an American company, American made - more accurate (IMO) than the old Ruger M77, it's a good, handy, accurate and light rifle..and on top of all of that, very inexpensive. Nothing really not to like about them.

Cheap rifle that normally shoot very well!. I've got two of them that are both shooters.

Cheap rifle, accurate and durable. Bought my wife a lh model in 7-08. Sucker shoots lights out to 350 which is the furthest I've shot it. My only real gripe is the action could be a little smoother. No other complaints considering what you're getting and what you're paying.

Hey Chongo here is a link to a RAR LH .223 that I had listed in the classified. Just in case you want to get her another. Gun is ready for the field with good glass and a Timney trigger I dropped in it!!! Damn good buy

I have the Standard in 7m-08 and really like it. I bought it before I made the decision to get suppressors for my long guns, otherwise I'd have bought the Predator model. Took three deer with it this past season with 120gr Fusion-it's a killer.

I have one in 300blk. Funny little gun and quite a handy length.
Are you going to pull those pistols, or whistle Dixie?

Handy, fun, comes threaded for suppressor, I love those things. I haven't bought one, but I fired one in .243 and it was very pleasant.
