    New Ruger American Gen II

    I guess there's just a difference of opinion here. I really like the look of the thing. I like the stock pattern, I like the gray on gray color scheme of the standard, and I like the fluting pattern. I would like to see an FDE/brown stock paired with a burnt bronze or FDE barrel. I would've...

    New Ruger American Gen II

    RA has magpul hunter, KRG bravo, B&C, boyds, MDT field stock. All of those should be better than the Tikka factorty stock. MCarbo has a trigger spring kit for like $20 that should make the trigger much nicer, but still unlikely to come close to a tikka. So for about $900 you'd have a rifle with...

    New Ruger American Gen II

    MCarbo has a trigger spring for the original, which should work since they didn;t make any claims about the trigger being different. IMO worth the $20 and 20 minutes to install and test before upgrading to a whole new assembly. At that point I'd probably for a CVA cascade, whose stock trigger is...

    New Ruger American Gen II

    They're all 20" barrels in the initial offerings, which is a little short for the PRCs IMO. Also, I think that consideration of a can is a pretty moot point for this class of rifle. While there will be exceptions, on the whole I would bet people who are willing to spend the money, headache, and...

    New Ruger American Gen II

    I'm pretty excited about this release. I don't like the drop in the comb, but other than that this is seems like a really solid budget option. I'm hoping they put longer barrels on the magnum chamberings. But for a street price of probably $600-650 you get a light, accurate rifle with cerakote...

    Hornady CX experiences?

    I’d consider giving the gun a good cleaning and trying the Outfitter again. Some monos are reported to get pissy when they’re shot after jacketed bullets. The CX has a lot of bearing surface so that may be the case. Consider the first three shot group a fouler group and send another 3-5. If it’s...

    Best TSS size for 70yd turkey load???

    TSS is the only viable non-tox option until (potentially) warchief #5 came out. Some people don’t give a hoot for shooting at long range, they just don’t want to use lead. I went with a 410 using #10 TSS because I wanted my range limited to 50 so long shots are off the table and so my pattern...

    Hornady CX .308

    That sucks to hear. I’m a bit surprised by that. It should have impacted at above 2500 fps. That should get just about anything to open up. I don’t know how much the performance differs per bullet weight within the same caliber, but maybe that 180 is a dud. It’s also a sample size of one on both...

    Hornady CX .308

    Simple Minded Fella shot the 165gr CX at gel at 1754 fps and there was plenty of expansion and wound channel. Hornady sets CX minimum impact velocity at 2000 fps, but different weights in different calibers can be expected to vary in performance and they tend to be a bit conservative in their...
