How old is the kid?


Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

although this thread is about over since he was headed to pick up the new Ruger American last night.

the ruger Americans bolts sometimes feel a little gritty new , I grease the outside of the bolt then cycle them a bunch , that and a brick of 22 and the smooth right out

you know now he is going to need a 308win Ruger all American Predator

If you are going to stick with bolt action - I would highly suggest the CZ model 457. My sister has a Ruger American .22 and I really don't like that trigger. CZ has a better trigger.

Went to get the Ruger American last night. First time I've handled one and it seems like a solid starter rifle for him. If he wants a nicer one in the future, he can fund it. I didn't get to bring it home since I'm an AK resident stationed in PA, my NICS always takes longer. I should get it on Saturday. Not many rifles on the shelf to try out but there was a nice Cooper that would have come home with me if it hadn't been a lefty. I have a Leupold rimfire on the safe to throw on top but need to get the base and rings.

Thanks for all the advice and conversation, I have some ideas for my next rifle.
