I have not had it on the chronograph. I am sure I am giving up some velocity. I honestly doubt I will ever shoot anything with it past 150 yards. If longer range will be an option, I would probably carry a different rifle. I must say I am really happy with how things turned out for this Ruger American. The rebore and cerakote gave it new life. I did my homework before having all the work done. I tend to agonize over purchases and making decisions like this. I am very OCD about all aspects of my hunting gear. Talked to a few people before making this decision.(AU338MAG) and then went for it. Very happy with the outcome.


Hunting brings out the worst in people.
