I own one Ruger American that I bought for my wife and kids to shoot. It's an embarrassingly cheap feeling rifle. I'm surprised that it feeds a round with each stroke of the bolt, but surprisingly it does with decent accuracy. It just feels like an entry level gun.

My LH M77 hawkeyes (I own 3) that are all SS/Lam (.270, 25-06 and .300 WM) are the best shooting guns I own, the .25-06 especially. I'd look at 25aught 6's offer.
