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 a 20", unthreaded barrel. 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 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 scope is 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.
$450 for the rifle & rings, $750 for the complete package.
Scope is NOT available by itself.
