Hey all,
I am thinking about picking up a fairly cheap rifle to take advantage of (this is quite relative) ammo that is still available and cheap, and be able to shoot without needing to reload to have fun without breaking the bank. Filling the freezer now and then would be a nice thing too.
The Ruger American in 7.62x39mm stands out here. We can get Savage Axis scouts with 20" barrels, in stainless, and they look great except for the magazine. Its a 3 shot, and I have read complaints saying it works better with 2 than with 3.
Has anyone had an American Ranch for long enough or shot it enough to comment on reliability/durability? I know "feels cheap" is very subjective....do they stand up to lots of use well?
