The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

[goalie]

The poor man's precision rifle doesn't suck.

The only issue after one range session is that the bolt doesn't want to close on an empty Pmag. Zero issues with aluminum GI mags or Lancers, and I have a bunch of 10 round Lancers.

I had that issue with an ar mag once. I was told that the magazine just needed some break in. It must have been true because after shooting 40-60 shots through it, it never did it again.

P Mag is the only one I’ve had issues with.

My 5.56 Ranch seems to get along well with the AAC 77g OTM. One shot, dialed correction, then this 9.

It's nice when everything is working as it should.

Try some ADI 69 Matchkings some time. Really good for practice stuff.

Same.

I greatly prefer Lancer and DuraMag in mine

I used Lancers today, and will try and snag a few of the "flush fit" Duramags if they become available.

Sorry if this isn't news but I personally hadn't seen it yet. I know Glenfield was the store brand name for Marlin, I guess Ruger is starting that back up?

I saw that. Maybe a couple weeks ago.

A budget line for the budget line. Ruger gets me.

When they say “the poors” they mean me.

Glamour shot of the new "Poor Man's Precision" rifle.


It sounds great with my Polonium on it, and I'm re-thinking replacing the stock. OEM appears more than adequate for intended use.

Huntsman is a bad influence though, and it will get a Jard trigger. I'm going to wait until I can try the Duramag flush fit magazines before thinking about converting to AICS.

Looks good, how does it balance out with the suppressor?

It was a little front-heavy, but easy to shoot offhand even with the bipod. Not nearly a big enough issue to buy the stock weight kit.

Aaaaand Timney trigger (2# flat) ordered.

Waiting for ammo to arrive, my gen 2 cheapo 22CM is ready to go. Minus suppressor I’m under 1k ready to go, including 2 boxes of ammo. It’s ugly but don’t hate it. I’m going to use the compound to help with the bolt and will be sending to Kampfeld for fluting, after that. Hopefully this helps with the feeding/general not good operation of a stock gen2 action. Will be shooting soon before winter shuts down the local ranges

 

[huntsman22]

How will fluting the bolt help with feeding? Is there a reason for not maxing out the ring spacing?

Bolt fluting won’t make it worse, make it better? Who knows who cares, again it’s only an improvement. What’s your issue with the ring spacing?

not my rifle, not my issue..... just curious why guys don't take advantage of having a rail.....

What advantage you do think is being missed ?

Because you are right, it’s not your rifle, not your eye relief or really anything. But what bother you about what works for me?
