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

Do the 223s feed reliably? I have a Rem700 that feeds 90% from AI pattern mags. I love it for varmints and flat range shooting but I’m debating a RA Gen 2 that uses AR mags for a field gun.

Ours is weird, feeds fine for first three rounds but can't get the last round to ever chamber. Shoots pretty well though. I just shoot three and leave the last round in the mag.

Seems 223s can be touchy to feed so it has my nervous to get one. Also want a Tikka but the price difference is big

The price difference really isn’t that much. I guess after you include all of the misc fees from transfer, mounts and what not it could be a lot, but just the bare rifle to rifle should be with in reason.

It’s fukall when you consider what you are getting
