I put this Ruger American 7mm-08 together this year. Bought it 2 years ago with a LEO discount from Sportsmans Warehouse. Tried Talley rings on a Burris Fullfield ii 3-9x. Friend wanted the scope so I pulled it only to find tube damage from the Talley rings, so rings had to go also. It shot 1" with Federal Fusion 140gn which uses the speer hot core bullet i believe. Decided this summer to send the action to morgan at Class III in Dallas for a barrel cut-back and rethread. Added a Redfield Revenge Accushoot reticle 3-9x mounted in a DNZ one piece ring base. Very solid! It's now 18.5" long, threaded 1/2-28 with a special ordered 1/2-28 .30 cal ASR 3 prong suppressor mounting platforn. It's a handy gun now, easy to carry and very compact without a can attached. I have debated selling it twice, no big takers either time. I even have a second olive green stock for it if needed.
