Thank very much for the review. Best one I found on Gen2. Looking to buy it in 243 for my son, and this video helped me to make the decision. Really appreciate.
I tried to adjust my trigger, wouldn't go below 4 1/2 # . Backed the adjustment screw all the way out. Sent it back to Ruger. They said they shot 20 rounds through it and it functioned ok. I replace the trigger spring with a Mcarbo spring 3lbs now! 204 Ruger sub moa all day now
I've got a Howa cerakote camouflage stock that will poke all three rounds into a single jagged hole at 100 meters or 109.4 yards and it doesn't matter if it's a Remington or winchester 100gr core lok or a power point bullet. After 60 rounds it went from a 3/4 outside to outside group to a single jagged hole the size of a cigarette butt looking right at me. I figure it took those 60 to smooth out the bore and fill in the imperfections of the bore. It's got a 22 inch barrel and attains a maximum deviation of an average of 11 f.p.s. I always let my barrels cool off for 15 minutes between shots with the bolt open. I've been professionally trained in camp pendleton over 30 years ago and this is the only rifle that I own that I don't have to handload for optimum accuracy. Semper Fi.
I found my trigger pull gauge. I backed the trigger screw out 3/4 turn last time I had the stock off and it’s currently at 3lb 13oz. I’m guessing there are a couple turns left in the screw. The trigger pull gets better the more I shoot and it feels lighter than it is.
I tried and it did work, though I felt I was rounding the bolt. Are you able to tell how much torque you applying when you put the bolt back in? When I tried, my wrench rubs on the release, and I can’t determine how much force is being applied.
@@darylgiese756 I tried the ball end too but it felt like it was stripping the bolt as well. So I ended up punching the pin out. I used the tool to put the release back together.
@@paullopez6588 I have had mine apart several times since the review and continue to punch the pin out. Now that I’ve done it a few times, It only takes about 10 seconds to get it apart and 1 minute to get it back together!
I know there are guys who don’t. For some reason, I do when I put on a lot of miles. Honestly, I get paranoid now when I hike with a rifle without a locking bolt. Happy hunting!
Thanks, great review. Bet lot a guys wanna be friend w u because of the range.... hahahaha For myself, I like running from the magazine, making that my habit. That Newhall shooting still sits in my mind.... but that's just me. Be safe out there! May His angles have charge over you, protecting you as they did Him. Jesus is King
My ex wifes .243 with 20" bbl 95gr sst superformance 2830fps, same ammo 22" xpr 2980 fps , same ammo 24" rem 700 3040fps, my brother's 28" tcpro hunter barrel 3190. Point is it matters
My savage hunter in camo with a tapered bull barrel has killed ground hogs at over 300yds. It is not a 110 tho. Will shoot better than I can hold on bean bags. I love it, has never let me down when I squeeze the adjustable trigger. The e 3x9 Leopold mk3 never loses zero, tho I haven't dropped it. Best bolt gun I've ever bought. Now I have a BCA 243 SPIRAL CHROMED 20IN BARREL THAT'S WILL UNSEAT THE HOG SLAYER SAVAGE.

you did a great job on the video thanks for the work you put in I will be watching for more videos🤠
Enjoyed the review. The question is, does the MDT Field Stock fit? If it does, that's a viable option for those who don't like the new stock design.
Great review. Agreed on the accuracy. Many thanks!

A 3/16 ball head Allen wrench will take that bolt out without removing the latch. It shows it in the manual. It’s not too bad after you do it once.
I will try one, thanks!
It's much easier than punching out the mag release.

Gen2 has same. Foot print as gen1 put mine in magpul american stock
Where are the targets?
Do they not include a thread protector with these guns? I myself hate muzzle brakes too and that's the first thing I'd be tossing
No, they don’t.
Never had an issue with a non locking bolt.

How many in/lbs do you torque your action bolts to?
Go figure I got the one 243 gen 2 that is not centered in the stock lol other than that I love it
Thanks, great review.

How can a person this committed to sharing relevant information still be shooting video vertically?
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾✌
I found out you love to hear yourself talk !
Not usually but I like guns. I wasn’t planning on the video but was really impressed with the rifle, for the price, and thought I’d post one.
It is called a review 😅. What do you expect him to do just stand there and video and not say a word.
@@BrandonTrip actions speak louder than words !
20 inches is not a short barrel
All of my other .243s have been 22 inch, which is the majority of what you find on the shelves. I have no issue with a 20.
