I have a Ruger American Gen1.
I’m attempting to set it up as properly as I can-
Is it necessary to upgrade the factory rail where the scope sits and/or do any type of bedding?
Are we thinking the stock rail is sitting truly flat and level?
I’ve simply degreased the screws and torqued to spec… it shoots great but I don’t want to be chasing my tail when trying to level the rifle/scope.
Is the kit worth $50 or can I get the same thing for $10 on Amazon? Will the cheap one be at “true” ?
Model SP3001 On a hunting rifle? Basically Spuhrs badass high-end PRS tactical mount.
I have the opportunity to purchase one of these for a good deal. These are $515 retail and I’d be paying around $230.
If I don’t buy this particular mount, I’ll be buying the Spuhr hunting series (HP30-25) separate rings (brand new) for the same price at $230, which is full retail.
Should I take the deal on the more expensive used ones at less than half price, or would they be so overkill on a hunting rifle that it’s a dumb move?
It’s already got a big scope, 22” barrel, 9” suppressor- more of a long range setup to begin with.
Take the deal or pass and just get regular rings for the same price?
Any downsides besides maybe looking like a try-hard(?) and a few oz of added weight?
WRX STI 31k miles. Does this mid way through warm up cycle. Goes away as it continues to warm up and rpm’s drop.
Video makes the rattle sound slightly louder than it is.
I have two 6.5 Creedmoor rifles. Both Ruger Americans- I have a Gen 1 and Gen 2.
My 16” alignment rod glides freely down my Gen2 barrel, but in my Gen1 it gets friction about 4” down and will stop the rod. If I push on the rod, it will slide through the friction but it’s not an effortless glide like my gen 2. What gives?
I’ll also add my gen 1 has probably 200 rounds shot through it.
Gen2 has had 12 rounds total.
My immediate thought…Is my Gen1 barrel bent?? Or is just tighter tolerances with the rifling? They’re both 6.5 Ruger Americans- seems like they should be identical regardless if Gen 1 or 2.
Just seems weird
