Mighty happy with this little Ruger American

Here you go. I have several Encores and usually like blue and wood but this little G2 in stainless and plastic is starting to grow on me. Barrel is a Match Grade Machine and I replaced the recoil pad with a small Limb Saver (not that it is really needed).

Awesome, I built one of these on paper at one point and it would have been very light, nice to see someone did it from the g2 contender stainless. Only blue/wood 30-30 I could find in my part of world as potential donor. And I think I was researching the AR style grip/adjustable butt stock option as well but ultimately I think I wanted stainless walnut so it would have cost me a couple donor rifles lol, I gave up on the idea.

I did a 20" barrel takedown 7-08 pro hunter stainless at one point and my clever machinest was able to build a knurled alum take down knob that was the bottom of the pistol grip which allowed spinning butt stock off and on for backpack sheep duty but despite all the accuracy tricks available I couldn't shake the first round poi shift if set awhile, once shooting it and rezero would group tight but put it away and go to shoot again and lottery on where that first round would be, maybe I had scope issue but felt it was rifle? Anyway it was an attempt at a poor mans blaser k95 and so I sold it and went blaser, which was amazing. But this g2 on grendel would have been a lot lighter and in a cartridge I loved.

Very cool rifle, thanks for sharing.

Do you have any weights on that? What barrel length did you choose?
