AZ 2A classifieds without the politics

easy peasy right..

 

Thanks for the "extractor" detail.

 

Absolutely. Just need a file and some time.

 

ahh, I didnt install the optic.. just helped with modifying.. then they installed. good to know.

 

Just FYI. I bought two .243 Ruger American Gen 1s for my kids. They shoot well and are light enough for the kids to carry them, they've taken a cow elk and a javelina, plus jackrabbits with them. DD1 put three rounds through one hole last week, good shooter and good rifle.

The problem for us western hunters who aren't shooting from a stand over corn is that the bolts do not lock when on safe.

It's a design thing I didn't know about when I purchased them. Gen 2 is the same. Plenty of online commentary about it- but for us it is a PITA when we are walking through the landscapes and frigging trees and brush open the damn bolt, collecting leaves and dirt in there. We've been on hunts where we have to relocate a bit to reposition on our quarry and lost a cartridge. We don't generally walk around chambered for convenience' sake.

Sure we can tie the things closed but it is a hassle sometimes with two kids and one adult. They have also vibrated loose in the truck on rougher roads.

Love the performance, hate the bolt. I would not buy them again myself. Maybe look for a Howa 1500.

Good luck to kid on the hunt!

 

Dunno who told you about the gen 2...

 

Thats a bummer, I got a Ruger American in 223 and 22 for me and my boy and I really like them both
Both surpress amazingly
Just waiting for him to be old enough

 

I like my ruger American in 6.5cm. With a good optic and good ammunition it shoots amazing. I'm far from being an expert on anything 2a related. But I've shot and own quite a few rifles and it's become my favorite.

 

Ruger American is lowkey the best value out there right now for bolt guns. Shoots incredible for the price point. Rimfire or centerfire.

The centerfire triggers (no experience with the RF, might be the same) are very easy to do an amazing trigger job at home with a replacement spring and some shims. The gen 2 stock looks pretty killer too with cheek rest spacers available.

 

Edit initial post made in wrong thread
But heard good things on the Ruger American. But i remain a Tikka respecter

 

Back in 2016-17 I picked up a used Ruger American chambered in 30-06 with a Vortex Crossfire II 4-24x50 scope for about $380 from Cabela's. I purchased it for a deer hunt and put maybe 50 rounds through it before my hunt and maybe 10 since. I had it either on my back or in a scabbard tied to my horse. I didn't have any issues with the bolt coming open while I was walking around that I can remember. Definitely a good gun for the price.

 

I asked this months ago but I’ll ask again, anyone in Phoenix area have a revolver for sale? Looking for something with a 4” barrel or shorter, nothing too big.

 

Might want to include desired caliber

 

I’m not picky. .357, .38, .45, just curious what’s on the used market.

 

You should wait a month and go to the big December Gunshow at the State Fair Grounds. This is the biggest one of the year
