It’s a pity because both guns shoot sub moa but the feeding issue takes all the enjoyment out of it.
You probably on to something there. The entire RAP has a horrible finish. I think that I could strike a match on the barrel if I tried. It's pretty obvious where some of the cost savings came from. I fixed a Ruger American in 22-250 the other day that couldn't hit a coyote past 100 yards. It had some obvious QC issues that should have never left the factory. The action wasn't even sitting in the V bedding blocks correctly. Doesn't give me a "warm fuzzy" about Ruger's budget line.
