All my rifles are vintage, newest deer rifle I own was built in 1978. Been wanting a plastic stock, light recoiling rifle so I bought a Ruger American in 243 WIN last month (already had dies, brass, bullets, and some factory ammo). Put a 2-7 Redfield Revolution scope on it (took it off a rifle I recently sold) and zeroed the rig last week. Shooting MOA with factory Federal blue box ammo and haven’t begun to reload yet. Fun playing with this cheap rifle, has a nice trigger too (very much a good surprise).


One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
