Please read ALL the details!
This is NOT a regular American, although it mostly looks like one.
Barreled action is from the compact model, so only 20" Stock is from the regular model, with AICS mag well & MDT 10 round mag & adjustable cheek riser installed.
I had the chamber re-cut from standard to .223 Wylde & throated specifically to shoot heavier, long projectiles & take maximum advantage of the 1:8 twist. The bolt has been refinished & polished to get rid of the infamous 'zip-zip' noise. I also installed a beautiful Timney trigger that is hands down THE single nicest trigger I've ever tried. Dead on 2lb break with zero slop or creep.
I can happily & easily put 30 rounds of 77gr TMK hand loads into a 1.25" 100yd group & it will maintain that accuracy of to 800yds
I've got much, much more invested in the rifle than I'm asking, but I also understand that to most folk it's "just a Ruger American"
I don't know my exact round count, certainly over 500, but well under 1000.
The rifle WILL come with the rings but without the scope. The scope will be available with the rifle, or possibly after it sells. It's an SWFA 6x42 milquad with mil turrets. VERY highly sought after & has been unobtanium for a couple of years now. It won't hurt my feelings at all to keep it. I have 3 others & a spare couldn't hurt.
$500 for the rifle, $400 for the scope.
