You're crazy grin

What's actually crazy is putting a $100 scope on top of a $1,000 rifle.

I'd put a Ziess on top of my pecker if I thought it would improve my chances .

Ruger has hit it out of the park with their American series. I had a .308 compact and it was very accurate with my handloads. I was getting sub moa groups with a Primary Arms mil dot scope at 100 yards.

The trigger on mine was very very nice and the action was smooth enough. Not as smooth as other rifles but very nice for the money. I killed my first two deer with that rifle.

I love my American. I own a 30-06. Bought mine bare with no scope from bass pro on sale for like $400. I would find somewhere selling minus the scope if you're trying to put your own on. Save you a couple hundred.

But yeah love my American. Great Value

I bought a Ruger American compact in 7-08 for my wife last year. For the money it is a great gun, accuracy is very good. I put a Nikon on it and with American whitetail ammo I can get just under moa groups, with corelokts I can get right at 1 moa. I have my eye open for one in .270 SS.

If you do your part that cartridge will absolutely kill. My wife smoked a 235# boar last Saturday and dropped him. THen she smoked a 125# sow on the run, might have made it 5 yards.
