Home depo normally has decent sales.

The stock seems to be more flexible than the Gen 1’s.

Is the front end really more flexible than a Gen 1? That was really my only issue with the stocks on the Gen 1. You were going to get contact if you used a bipod. I put my 5.56 RAR and my 6CM RAP in Bravo Chassis just to get away from the gummy worm stock. Guess I'll just wait for a Mini Action in 22 ARC to come available.

Take that with a grain of salt.
That’s me squeezing the fore end on one rifle.
I clearances it with a socket and sandpaper and had no issues off of a bipod. IMO

My Go Wild RA! 6.5CM, 16" barrel, topped with a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x.

I use it here in Alberta when the hunting pressure is heavy and all the critters are hiding in the thick stuff.

Awesome. Any idea what it weighs?

Plus a little for some epoxy.

Sure, pm me your email. If you wear XXl gloves it’s a little short, but still works.

I might get in on this as well if you wouldn’t mind.
Just over an ounce is great.

I’d say there is a very good chance my hands are the same size as your daughters. Or so I’ve been told.
This would probably work well for me.

Picked up a gen2 300wm right after christmas and got a .243 gen1 as well, definitely agree it fits 95% of hunters needs from a box a year to 50 theyre quality rifles for a good price and kills things just as dead as the next guys $10k custom rifle. Already dropped a couple hogs in their tracks with both, cant wait to test out the 300wm on elk this year and hopefully ill have it suppressed by then.

I currently have 3 Ruger Americans, all of them are the Ranch versions and serve as inexpensive suppressor hosts. I previously had a Gen1 Predator in .223, but I sold it to a friend. I plan to replace it with the Ranch version, but I just haven't gotten around to it quite yet.

My Gen1 in .300 Blk shoots lights great with just about anything. My favorite subsonic loads are 7.5 - 8.2gr of Lil' Gun with the 190gr Sub-X (I have to reduce the powder charge in the winter to keep them subsonic). They are very accurate and close to airgun quiet with an R9 suppressor:

It also shoots lighter bullets really well:

I have another Gen1 in .450 Bushmaster. I recently put it in a Magpie Hunter stock, and I'm very happy with the outcome. It feeds great with the less-expensive Amend2 AICS magazines.

The .450 BM shoots great, as well:

My Gen2 .350 Legend is probably the most accurate of the bunch. It is the least picky of the three, in the accuracy dept, and it seems to shoot just about anything:

I'm planning on my next Ruger American to be a 223, and I'd like to try it in a Magpul Hunter stock with AICS magazines. I'm hoping the longer COAL allowances should better allow me to take advantage of the Ruger's 1-8 twist-rate.
