The Rokslide 95 (Ruger American 😁)

Here's my gen 1 7.62x39 Ranch. The gun has always impressed me with whatever ammo I feed it. Often shooting around 1". In preparation for youth deer hunting, I swapped the red dot I had on for an old bushnell trophy I've had around. I also made a kydex cheek riser and installed a linear compensator to cut down the blast a bit from the 16" barrel.

Great fun rifle to shoot. I'm hoping to add a gen 2 in either 5.56 or 223 and maybe add my first suppressor. Has anyone used the 223 chambered ones with 5.56? Any pressure signs?

I’ve been eyeing this since it dropped… good feedback from you so far? I think the aesthetics are great compared to other options
Killed some stuff since, and really like the MDT...

My son (now 10 years old) has racked up 4 deer in three years with his, topped with a 3-9x40 Leupold VX-Freedom CDS. Shots have ranged from 80 to 430 yards.
Follow up from this…..I decided to throw a suppressor on it this year for my daughter to shoot. After getting a few baffle strikes, I sent the rifle to Thunderbeast where they confirmed the alignment was way off. They got it down to .004ā€ runout, but nothing like spending $300 (with round-trip shipping) to fix a $400 gun. šŸ˜‚ After I got it back, this is a 15-shot group at 100 yards with factory 143 ELD-X. Not sure what happened with the two ā€œfliersā€ (probably me).

I have a Ruger American that I did a "pin and weld" suppressor mount on that has accounted for a couple bears. I'll have to get a better picture later but it brings the oal length down to about K can length while still being more or less hearing safe with a longer suppressor. I'll probably SBR it once the $200 tax goes away. Very accurate.

Curious if anyone knows how it does in snow compared to the Ruger Hawkeye? Don't believe that has been tested lately. I have a late hunt that could involve snow.
