the Ruger American .30-06 Dad gave me before he passed was a disappointment,=. I tried about 8 different factory loads in it and none of them shot acceptably - groups were 2-3" at 100 yards.
Finally sold the American and another rifle and bought a Hawkeye. No regrets at all.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
