In all seriousness I saw a Ruger American in one of those Bell and Carlson Stocks they came out with...... and I don't know how it shot after swapping but it looked about 1,000 times better. Ruger is going to have to do something about that stock.... what a insanely accurate POS stock that is. All they have to do is round a few edges in the mold... I mean dam. I've got one American and the stock around the trigger guard would cut your finger until I filed it down a little. Rifle will shoot under MOA easily.
Remington needs to poach some of Ruger's management. They so good at making less expensive guns they have about put everyone else out of business. In the race to the bottom.... Ruger is #1 without a doubt.
Ruger probably has less than $10 in t by at stock so that's how they can sell them so cheap. Life's too short to hunt with a gun that feels like cheap Tupperware when you shoulder it. As I turn into an old fart, I'm drawn more to traditional bolt actions like the Model 70. I picked up another one at the gun show last weekend, a M70 featherweight in 7mm WSM. Has very nice wood with nice grain and some fiddleback, plus it's in a not so common chambering, which I like.
It will need a bedding job to see if it has accuracy potential. I have always like the featherweight stocks, the shoulder just right for me and I like the slender foreend.
