Ruger American ranch 16”

[riuma]

Will we truly be happy when Sako chambers their micro xs action in 6.5 Grendel? I think so. I’ll take walnut with the red recoil pad and stainless. I’ll also take a carbonlite or a finnlight 2. I would also be interested in kimber Montana, and ruger Hawkeye stainless walnut. Sort of sucks that the Grendel seems to only draw budget rifles to chamber. The cz is the highest quality option we have.

CZ was a natural because they already made the 7,62x39. Other outfits would need some serious retooling to make Grendel function. Frankly, I think Ruger should have left the Grendel with the rotary magazine and not gone to the AR mag. All the cuts in the bolt and resulting lack of bearing surface make them a real PIA to operate. MY buddy likes mine but I have a set of stones, one of which exactly fits the bolt guide cut and stoning that out was the beginning of a big improvement. The mill cuts were just awful. Once the tool marks were gone and there were no razor sharp edges, it began to be more tolerable.~Riuma
