Cool cartridge. My ranch drives nails, my buddies ruger americans shoot great. That being said they should just sell the barreled action for much less, those stocks are horrendous. The stock on my sons Daisy 880 is better than the American line. Once you buy one for 419 or 449.......out the door for 500......then you put a 200 dollar Boyds on it........coulda just got something else. At least offer a hardwood option.
