Help me build out a Ruger American Gen2

Just installed the Ruger Gen 2 Predator into a KRG Bravo. With no scope, I am at 7.25 lbs. Right at where I want to be. I have an 18 oz Vortex Diamondback and with the rings, I should be around 8.5. Thanks all.

Help me build out a Ruger American Gen2

So, I went ahead and ordered a Timney trigger. The trigger in the rifle can be adjusted down to about 3.5 lbs, but it has a lot of creep and I like to run a trigger at about 2.75. I have a Riton Conquer coming back from repair I can use until I find a lighter weight scope at the price and with...

Help me build out a Ruger American Gen2

I decided to go with the KRG Bravo. I have owned both the Field Stock and the KRG. The KRG is just a bit more robust. Although a bench stock, it should put me where I want to be with weight. The Ruger Gen 2 is a 6.5 lb rifle. If my calculations are correct, with a scope it should put me...

I will probably have to take it to a smith. I don't have a barrel vise. Thanks.

I am flexible on weight. Just as light as possible.

I like the adjustability and modularity of a chassis. I have several rifles with standard stock, but had a SIG Cross a while back that I liked but sold. Of course, wishing I hadn't. But, I just wanted more velocity with a longer barrel.

Thanks, I shoot suppressed though. It comes with a radial brake, which feels like it is welded on.

Help me build out a Ruger American Gen2

So, I was not planning on getting another rifle, but the PX had a 20% off sale going on and had a Ruger American Gen2 Predator in 308 Win. I got it for $400, no tax. I just could not pass it up. I am wanting to do a chassis hunting rig. Trying to keep it fairly light, maybe 8 lbs with scope. I...

Speer Bullets thread

I just got a HOWA 30-06. I am a huge fan of the Speer Gold Dots for hunting. Speer does not supply load data for the 168 grain Fold Dot for 30-06 because it is a "self defense" round. Anyone got a load for this bullet and caliber combination? Thanks.

Single Shot Mountain Rifle Build: CVA Scout

I just bought a CVA Scout Compact in 6.5 Creedmoor myself. Got an alert from Sharps that they had the CVA grip interface in stock and immediately snapped it up. I am getting the folding adapter to use an AR buffer tube, as the minimal stocks that are available with the picatinny rail are not...
