    Has the Ruger American Gen 2 been out long enough to be considered “proven”?

    Looking for something I can build and afford to shoot enough to cement fundamentals up to being consistent at 3-400 yards in the field on Black Bear, while still maintaining enough impact velocity to incapacitate the animal quickly. 6 creed seems like a possible good middle ground between .223...

    Has the Ruger American Gen 2 been out long enough to be considered “proven”?

    Do you do much hunting with your .223 setup? I’m on the fence between getting a .223 over a 6.5cm for now to be able to buy more ammo and build fundamentals. I’ve been reading up on the .223 thread and it’s almost got me convinced, but I’m not sure that it’s a better option than setting up and...

    2-piece Battle Belt Style Setups, Anyone Else use Them?

    As this is my first year trying out the 2 piece belt I’m still getting the system worked out. I’m still running an internal frame backpacking pack while I save up for a hunting specific pack, and the one I currently use I have no issue with fitment of the pack over the belt other than my IFAK...

    Trash in the Backcountry

    Check out the roll up dump pouches on Amazon. Maxpedition looks like they have a decent one for $25 that I might grab!

    2-piece Battle Belt Style Setups, Anyone Else use Them?

    Interesting, how big of a fanny pack and what kind of gear are you carrying in it if you don’t mind me asking? I got my mainly for range use as well, it isn’t noticeably bulky at all (other than my IFAK). The only issue I’ve had with it so far is a hotspot on one hip due to it not being...

    2-piece Battle Belt Style Setups, Anyone Else use Them?

    Does anybody else run an inner-outer 2 piece battle belt setup while backcountry hunting? I run an Agilite Magnetix that I’m trying to get dialed in. Generally I use it to fill the role of carrying a Handgun, Multi-tool, IFAK, dump pouch/water bottle pouch, and maybe a spare mag. This setup is...

    Has the Ruger American Gen 2 been out long enough to be considered “proven”?

    I actually may be the dummy who would prefer to space out the pain lol. It also makes sense to me to shoot a few hundred rounds through the rifle as it comes from the factory to make sure it’s a barrel/ action worth investing in the chassis for, or deciding I don’t like it, selling it and...

    Has the Ruger American Gen 2 been out long enough to be considered “proven”?

    Anything against chassis’ or do you just prefer the tradition with vertical fore grip style? There’s quite a few affordable chassis out there for the Ruger

    Has the Ruger American Gen 2 been out long enough to be considered “proven”?

    Alright guys what changes when we throw Bergaras into the mix? Seems like Bergara vs Tikka would be a better comparison and long term move than the Rugers.

    Has the Ruger American Gen 2 been out long enough to be considered “proven”?

    Don’t necessarily have my mind set on the ruger but on a surface level it would seem it packs slightly more value into the oem rifle with a more ergonomic stock, rail,threaded barrel, muzzle break, AICS and already shorter barrel. This seems more enticing to me than a smoother action, as long...

    Has the Ruger American Gen 2 been out long enough to be considered “proven”?

    I like the way you frame the question at the end of the percentage of buyers displeased with their purchase that’s a good way to think about and kind of what I was getting at in a roundabout way

    Has the Ruger American Gen 2 been out long enough to be considered “proven”?

    Tell me why the gen 2 American sucks and I should buy a tikka instead. Other than the typical “smoother action and better trigger”.

    Help me build a cheap 6.5 CM/PRC from the ground up

    Thanks brotha appreciate the input Don’t have a set budget as I’ll piece it together over time most likely, but I’m just wondering if anything out there would give me better value and a good aftermarket than just buying the complete tikka or Ruger for $6-700

    Help me build a cheap 6.5 CM/PRC from the ground up

    FNG here, I’m looking to build a bolt gun as a much more capable upgrade to my trusty 30-30 but I am poor. Debating on going 6.5cm to build my skills and be able to afford to shoot more ammo or go straight to PRC as I’ll mostly use it to hunt the mountain west. Is it better to start with...
