    Sir !!! Excellent video - I purchased the exact same rifle and caliber 3 months ago.. After a couple of different scope options - getting the rifle broken in. I love the rifle... I couldn't be happier with the result of my purchase. I have found that it prefers a slightly heavier grain bullet - I'm getting my best results between 62 and 71 grains. Typically most of my shooting is between 50 and 200 yards and it serves that purpose well. Thanx for your video. !!!!!! Mark C. The Old Guy In Texas :)

    Really like this rifle for the price point. The gun metal cerekote is a great touch. Like the raised comb. Ruger should have left the "non" ranch model with the 22"barrel rather than cutting down to 20". Some really cool calibers coming out this year too on the gen 2!
    So tired of really nice rifles being put on the market today in 6.5 cm & .308 only.

    I just intentionally bought a Gen 1 American in 7mm-08. I love my Gen 1 .270 & 300 BLK. No issues with any of them. I do like (some) of the Gen 2's upgrades, having had a chance to check out a .308, but, the $200+ increase in price compared to some models of the Gen-1's is not worth it to me, fancy twisted barrel & all that. I will most likely get a Gen 2 .270 once they hit the gunshops and once supply is established & prices go south of MSRP, which was the entire point of the concept, cheap, effective, & nothing too fancy. These Gen 2's sort of missed that point.

I called them and said I own a ranch 556 and it has 5800 rounds threw it with no misfires is the 556 designed for the AR to. They basically said live with it.

      Longer barrels definitely have their place, but we're big fans of the shorter barrels for running with a suppressor. Their "Standard" Ruger American Gen2 has a 20" barrel over the 16" that the "Ranch" has, if length is what you're after.

    • @phillipardell5579
      @phillipardell5579 10 месяцев назад +3

      Jesus, why? There's no velocity benefit with the cartridges it's chambered in due to faster burning powders. They're inherently less accurate due to less-stiff, whippier barrels. And who wants to lug around a magnum-length gun chambered for a non-magnum (considerably, in some cases) cartridges anyway? This is no .338 Win Mag. It's a ranch rifle, chambered in intermediate cartridges. All a knowledgeable shooter needs is a barrel length that maximizes the cartridge it's chambered in, which in this case is around the 16" legal minimum. .223, 300 BLK, 350 Legend, etc.

They improved the stock,l grant you,the first gen. Was not perfect, but it worked well enough. I never had a problem with the bolt smoothness,and though the cosmetics look nice,cutting 2in. off the barrel,and putting a muzzle brake on it,especially for a.223/556 is a bad joke! All it does is increase muzzle blast,and in larger calibers,cut velocity! Also,what is the latest big thing about “Cans”,or is it some kind of COOLNESS thing? You are paying BATFE 200.00 dollars for a “permit” to own something that you can not allow/ let anyone else use,and your name is on a list that lets Big Brother know what you got, and where to find you,if they ever want to take it!

    First thing I would do is take this junk Rifle back use the money to get a real rifle if not you will be sorry ?

      Do you have any basis for your claim that these are junk? Have you had a bad experience with the Gen 2 Ruger American?
      They just came out and seem to be quite nice especially at the price point they are offered at!
