My dealer received my Ruger Ranch in 6.5 Grendel today from Davidson?s today. Barrel alignment in the stock was great, overall fit and finish was really well done. BUT godamn it Ruger, the bolt had so much slop it, the magazine wobbled. What killed it for me was the feeding, I brought some snap caps, and one of my E-Lander mags. It would not feed for shit, I have a M77 Target MKII feeds great. I sent it back, not Davidson?s fault, but Jesus H Christ Ruger........come on, I sticking with Howa from now on. A2
If this Howa floorplate mod pans out, why bother with anything else? Thatll be about the perfect Bolt Grendel. That or the CZ. My 527 Micro Mauser Grendel feeds great also. I prefer the control feed but, to be fair, the Howa has rock solid feeding also. Ive got Ruger 308, 7m-08, a couple of 243s and 5.56 American/Predators, and they all feed great, never had an issue with any of them but the Grendel, its been a struggle since the git-go.
