Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Ruger American plastic stock

I got my Ruger American Predator in .223 a little while back for $359
Haven’t shot it much yet, a little bit with a 4x Weaver and it shot ok.
Just topped it with a 3.5-10X Leupold. We’ll see how it shoots this weekend.
I don’t mind the stock so much. And I like the compatibility with AR magazines. The 3 RAR’s in .308 that we have had in the family have all shot great.

The stock is a flimsy POS and butt ugly. However it is the most accurate rifle I own. For those of you who chase MOA you know that the last thing you want to do to a real shooter is change anything. I simply could not abide the ugly black plastic (an aversion I picked up serving in the US Army). I still did not want to change the stock so I sent it of to have it hydro dipped in a burlwood pattern. At least now if not aesthetically pleasing it is tolerable. The bonus being it still shoots lights out (1/2-3/4 MOA) with Hornady 180 grain SST bullets.
