    Anyone NOT like the Ruger american?

    My son loves his .300 BO and his .17 HMR

      It’s not light, but it’s extremely balanced. The stock itself is 3.3 pounds. The POS factory stock only weighs a pound.

      This is the .308 RAP

      Nice! You like it better than the mdt chassis?

            As shown, no can. Pushing 10 pounds is my best guess based on the scale I have on hand.

            Pending glass you put on it, it’s basically 2 pounds heavier than the rifle comes from the factory.

                  My wife is pretty happy with hers, especially for the price. Picked it up when they were $200 and the scope was free from a giveaway. It’s accurate enough for the intended purpose. A little rattlecan work to make it hers and we’re good to go.

                    I think they are ok, if you are going to leave them as is. I had one and it shot about 1" three shots with factory ammo, that was the good. The bad is the stock is a ****, the "bluing" is a very poor protectant, the barrel is ribbed, but not for pleasure for cheapness. That same ribbing is on the bolt for a not so smooth throw. Its like they keep the lathe on high and never quite finish the gun. It is just a gun that screams cheap. Putting a good stock on them is the classic lipstick on a pig, you have a $300 gun with a $400 dollar stock that is now worth $350 for the package. I agree with buy a used Remington or something along those lines. All I typed holds true with all these budget rifles, not just picking on the American.

                      might scream cheap....but they are sleepers...they are much better rifles than the price says they are.

                        All of your comments make me really appreciate my Rem 788. I got my first one for $67 brand new. They would shoot rings around a 700.

                          At the same time, a 700 cost $98.

                            I had one in 30.06 and didn’t like it.
                            Mine had significant feeding issues. Using only factory Ammo I was constantly getting wedged cartridges and bolt overrun failures.

                              Those that have made the factory stock heavier...

                              What material did you use to fill the voids?

                                Rockite. And drill holes between the partitions so it flows through to each side as one.
