Q&A
The Ruger American Rifle® Standard is a bolt-action rifle built with innovative designs and modern materials to provide shooters with a practical and cost-effective firearm, meant for serious hunting. Ruger uses a 3-lug bolt design on the American Rifle with a 70° bolt lift, providing plenty of clearance to keep fingers and gloves from getting between the bolt handle and the riflescope. A 2-position tang safety is easily accessible and quick to operate by both right- and left-handed shooters; the bolt can be cycled for loading and unloading the rifle with the safety engaged. A cocking indicator at the end of the bolt can be seen and felt. Ruger designed the Marksman Adjustable™ trigger for the American Rifle to be user adjustable for weight-of-pull. The Marksman trigger is light and crisp, allowing for precision shooting in the field. The Ruger American utilizes a detachable, ultra-reliable rotary magazine that fits flush with the bottom of the stock, adding to the rifle's ease of handling. The stock is constructed from rugged composite with grooves and texturizing on the pistol grip and fore-end, providing a solid, non-slip grip in any hunting environment. The stock features molded-in, Power Bedding® recoil/bedding blocks to rigidly attach the barreled action to the stock and free-float the barrel. A soft rubber recoil pad absorbs recoil considerably. The American Bolt-Action Rifle comes with a drilled and tapped receiver, and scope bases. The Ruger American Rifle is a lightweight, fast-handling, and superbly accurate rifle meant for rugged use in the outdoors. Made in USA.

A great valueI have owned this rifle for several years. Cosmetically there are some issues but minor. Feeds and shoots very reliably. Great bolt and trigger for a gun in this price range. it’s an excellent field gun.

Best Bang for the $$$$I bought the 223 predator model late winter, Enjoyed shooting it. was surprised how accurate and very reliable. Enjoyed it so much I bought the 270 model. Still no disappointment here. If there is one thing I don't like is the plastic magazine. would like metal instead.

Excellent RifleBuy this rifle! After reading up on this rifle and watching a ton of videos I purchased this rifle in .308 and added on a Nikon Prostaff 5 BDC. This rifle is definitely worth more than what you pay! After zeroing, running a box of ammo through it and a good cleaning, it held a 3 shot grouping less than 1 inch on the first accuracy test in a Caldwell Lead Sled. I've put well over 250 rounds through it now and it still holds 1 inch or less. This rifle is light weight but you do not feel the recoil. Excellent for beginners or experienced hunters. The Predator version of this rifle comes with a threaded barrel. I would definitely buy another!

exellent for your moneyI bought the compact .308 about 2 years ago and now am buying another for my oldest son. Absolutely love this rifle paired mine with the 3x9x50 prostaff and have knocked down around 8 whitetail deer 3 coyote and one pig with it all with one shot between 100-350 yards between us. I noticed some people talking about the MOA for the American rifle, now its real easy to get mixed up in all that my rifle shot about 1.5" with cheap rem core locket ammo but when I used my hand loads I was in sub MOA territory with around 3/4" groups with 168 gr hornaday A-max bullets. There are many factors in how a gun performs and if you are printing 1.5" groups don't get discouraged that's plenty good for your average shot on a white tail and often its the ammo you are using the .308 seems to favor 165 to 175 grain bullets so often going up in grains will yield better results. Also cheap hunting rounds are not very aerodynamic and as a result print wider than a more costly round such as a ballistic tip, also guns seem to have their own preference for ammo even though its the same machines making them, weird but there's always variance in any manufactured item. In any event though if you want a great rifle that doesn't eat your bank account alive this is the route to take and yes I have a Remington 770 not impressed with it at all I would have sacrificed the scope for a better built rifle.

Excellent RifleI was looking for an "option" to my Ruger M77 7mm Rem Mag. Purchased the Ruger American in .270 Winchester 2 weeks ago after several months of reading reviews and forums. Topped it with a Leupold 3.5-10x40 Vari-X iii that I had sitting in a box looking for a home. Dialed it in one evening earlier this week then took it back to the range this morning for a cold 3-shot group. Used Winchester Ballistic Silvertips (130gr). My Ruger 7mm Mag really likes the Silvertips so I thought I'd start with those to sight in. I can cover that 3 shot group with a penny! Love the trigger, and the recoil pad is excellent as well. Time will tell if it holds zero, but the accuracy is unquestionable.

Good job RugerI've had this rifle in .308 for a couple years now, and it's grown to be the go-to tool I first reach for for deer hunting or predator control. With a mid priced Nikon 3.5-14 on top there's not much that gets away if I don't want it to. Ruger did it right when they put this gun together as it seems to borrow the best features from the field of other offerings out there. The fool-proof bedding system locks up tight every time, the stock is tough enough to bang through the bush or bounce around in the truck. The bolt is substantial and really smooth and along with a great trigger it's a quick gun. Good safety, drop out mag and accurate barrel round out the package. It's not some pretty "wall hanger", its a work gun and its the best one I've found at this price point.

This Gun Is The BestThis gun is awesome! I bought a .308 caliber of this gun and I am so happy that I did. First day I went out to shoot it it was so great. So easy to shoot, so light, I love the safety feature on it. The only thing I did not find great is that I had to buy a scope to put on it too, but if you are looking for a great first gun for a kid or an adult, buy this.
Is the bolt on this rifle tight or sloppy when you open it

Looking to buy the 270 in this model for my 16 year old daughter. Just wondering how much recoil.
Asked by: simmonsm
Hi, the Ruger American Bolt-Action Rifle SKU: 1901795 does recoil.This firearm is mainly used for large game such as elk or bear. It will contain a lot of kick back. Possibly something more like a 243 or 308 for a 16 year old.
Thanks
