- Become a Channel Member! / @masonoutdoors_masonle... The Ruger American Rifle has become extremely popular due to its affordability, reliability, accuracy and wide range of chamberings and variants. That said, it is also one of the ugliest rifles to come around in a long time, but there are ways to make this ugly hog of a rifle look better!
Visit my leather gear site, I’d love to make you something! www.masonleather.com/store/c19/shop-all-gear#/
I hope your business does well, Gotta put some lipstick on a pig!😂
Nice preview ❤
When a rifle is better-looking than you…
Ain't that right 😂

😂😢😢😢😢😂😂 got em
Oooooohhhhhhhhh👏
Exactly what goofy mf
I never thought Ruger was ugly... Great guns...
Because you have never bought or held a browning xbolt
@@kadenhoff6814the key is to never hold an xbolt, or most other rifles will be ruined lol

its not ugly its just utilitarian
That's exactly the word I was going to use.
Nah,my Mauser M18 is utilitarian, those two are just fucking ugly.
Utilitarian is the perfect description of those rifles.
It's cheap (for the manufacturer ) they made it out of garbage plastic and cut corners everywhere they could. It would be okay if they were selling for 250 but they're inching up to 500-700 which USED to be the standard price range of a nice well put together model 70 or model 700 with a blued finish nicely fitted wood stock tight tolerances etc.. I have no issue with budget options being offered but when the company offers them as budget options and then slowly raises the prices over time to make these rifles their standard while simultaneously raising the price of real actual quality rifles into the 1000-1500 range that's just another form of shrinkflation. Giving us less product for more money.
Nah ,it's ugly.My m18 has a plastic stock,and it's a decent looking gun,this looks like something I'd buy off TEMU.
I don’t get how he says the rifle is ugly at all…
He should take a look in the mirror
Cause you have no taste or standards apparently.
That rifle is not ugly at all
@@sanchovegas6664 compared to what?a Nerf Gun.The thing is hideous,I wouldn't even give one of those to someone as a gift.
Ever see a Model 70?
My savage axis groups 3 shots in a quarter inch at 100 yards... don't need to spend $1000 to shoot 2 bullets a year for a couple deer. When I'm done it gets parked in the corner and is still deadly the next year
You need to practice with your rifle.
@@NORTH_CAROLINA_REAPERyou pause your game to type that?
My Ruger American doesn't shoot quite that good, but I did get a 5/8ths inch group at 100 yards and about 3 inches at 200 yards while shooting on a windy day here in the Texas panhandle
@@WildwestwranglerI believe that but the first guy I think he's full of himself to believe it's that accurate😂 but I don't personally have experience with this particular rifle so I could definitely be wrong
@@Wildwestwrangler it’s your scope or sumthin with a 400 dollar leupold I can get a half inch grouping at 300
“Ruger american is ugly” ouch didn’t have to call out one of my rifles…
“But not as ugly as the savage axis” stop calling out all my rifles!
😂
Thats what im saying
Same.
Felt this.. i painted my savage axis though 🤣😅
Bro the leather looks horrible on that lmao
I find it classy and minimalistic.
Not that ugly for 450 it is decent lookin
I’m so salty right now 😂 it ain’t fancy but it gets the job done and well.
Haha damn both of my bolt guns called out in one video .
Same 😂
I don't own this particular rifle but it looks very similar to my TC Compass .223
Same !
@@jamescalhoun4588 tell ya what I hand load for them both and I can make ‘em sing well enough to take care of any task I have at hand. Maybe that’s my pride speaking haha
The only ugly rifles are the inaccurate…which pretty much makes Ruger and Savage beauty pageant material.
I suppose beauty is in the eye of the beholder… and some people need glasses
@@masonoutdoors_masonleatherwell we ain’t rich like u and idc what a gun looks like as long as it gets the job done
@@masonoutdoors_masonleather yes because when I go hunt deer, that’s what I care about what a rifle looks like. You’re not even a good troll bro.
@@Ncoleman1x holy shit how is he rich and he still has acne worse than a teenager he looks 50 I wish I knew how to block somebody on this app. He is absolutely toxic as fuck. It’s a gun it’s meant to do a job that’s it.
@@masonoutdoors_masonleatherany rifle that shoots sub moa is gonna be good looking to me!!!
Far from ugly. There is worse. They are incredibly reliable and accurate at it's finest. Perfect handloads in my 204 makes those 40gr Remington sing at yotes and my god they make cavitations in em at 400yds easily. They are great guns.
Nah they ugly AF
I checked out your website. Your leather work is horrible. Try harder
Try a CVA Cascade.You’ll throw those other two in the dumpster.
Buddy of mine bought one in 3006, and made a stock out of a peice of maple we cut down a couple years ago..
Its one of the most beautiful rifles ive ever seen. And itll shoot 3/4 groups with Remington corelokt and 1/2 groups with handloads
Cant compete with a 400 dollar rifle that will shoot 3/4" with the cheapest ammo on the shelf and wearing one of the prettiest stocks you can find.
"one of the ugliest rifles in existence" I feel like the people who say this are on some hard drugs
Bro got stung by 100 bees 😂😂😂
that “flex” is a free floating barrel to improve accuracy
It's supposed to be but the stock and barrel are in contact (they are on mine too)
was looking for this
If it flexes enough to touch the barrel it can affect accuracy. Probably doesn't matter for 99% of the ppl that buy a bargain basement rifle.
The serious accuracy guys aren't keeping a factory stock anyway unless it's a B&C or HS or a chassis
Function = beauty.
Beautiful.
That’s like saying a Nissan Altima is beautiful
@@masonoutdoors_masonleatherthere beauty in something you can count on to do its job . Simp
@@masonoutdoors_masonleather as long as it does what I need it to do that's all that matters to me but I do get that this was an opportunity to show off that nice piece of leather you had lol
My Boss went on a hunting trip with some Ruger reps and shot a prarie dog from a distance of 1037 yds that’s pretty dammed accurate so regardless of it’s appearance it’s a very capable rifle
At 1000 yards the only thing making you hit a Prarie dog is luck
@@tatewilson7678 it’ takes a little more than luck. I could have the most expensive and capable rife on the planet and if you gave me 100 chances I could not hit that small of a target at that distance because I’m not an experienced long distance shooter my point was the Ruger is a very capable rifle in the right hands
@@googlechicken no doubt they're capable rifles but thats less than 1/2 moa at 1,000. With a bone stock hunting rifle there's a ton of luck involved in that. Not to mention the critter having to sit still for the flight time of the bullet
I’m a hardcore ruger guy, but I’ll admit it isn’t the best. However, it is damn dependable and accessible to a large portion of hunters.
Definitely
I didn't buy it for looks. I saw good reviews and grabbed one for myself. Had it close to a year and still haven't found time to test it out 😂...
My wife's .270 American shoots 3/4" groups with factory ammo. *THAT* inspires confidence!
Who cares as long as it works?? I have one and has dropped 3 deer and 5 hogs. Don't let these gun companies make you think you have to spend 5000 for a gun.
Idk man, the Remington 700 series aint winning any pagents anytime soon.
It is not
@@masonoutdoors_masonleatherneither are you
Not sure why you're complaining. It's practically a free float barrel.
It's the best feeding and ejecting low end bolt action I've come across.
Who cares as long as it hits the target. I want it to work, that's it. Don't need to spend 9000.00 for a gun. None of my guns are over 600.00. The past 26 years I got 20 deer, 16 hogs, 5 ram's. 2 elk. The right ammo a decent scope and great ammo is what gets it done.
I love my savage Axis XP in .243 One of my best performing rifles too
That guns not an ugly rifle at all imo. Could it look better? Sure. Is it ugly? Nah
Do they make aftermarket stocks ?
Boyd’s makes a decent stock for most models
That’s a very nice looking gun
Doesn't really matter if it's ugly as long as it does the job.
I bought a Ruger go wild in a 6.5PRC for $700 three a Leupold VX5 & she shoots great out to 900 yards, They are shooters
Same lot of people saying it’s inaccurate when you have a nice scope you know how accurate it is
Works pretty well for what it is. It's got a great barrel. Not very happy with the action on mine, but shoots below 1 in MOA at 100 yd. Haven't changed a thing on mine.
Not that flashy but not ugly but like he said it gets the job done and is accurate
i have Ruger American ranch 5.56 and its very accurate and reliable rifle! i have Savage 110 tactical 6.5 creed . its cheap but its a good rifle.
I've got an axis and I love it
You need to broaden your surroundings bud 😂
@@codytaylor2194 im on a budget bud
@@threeforkcreekoutdoors704 bud I got 4 kids I know all about being on a budget...what you do is put 75 to 100 away a month (very easy to do) if your a grown man and cant set aside 75 a month you either need a career change or you have a drug problem lol...then you sell your axis and apply your cash after 6 months to a year a buy you something that will actually last and you can pass down axis ..american..patriot..etc are exactly what they are..they are a good cheap starter gun..they are not built to last especially if you hunt as hard as I do ...a week in alaska in some of the harshest weather or in idaho or Colorado I'm not gonna risk my hunt or safety on a cheap made rifle ..they won't last the abuse and elements..best advice I could give ya again not trying to be mean.
@@threeforkcreekoutdoors704 pretty easy set aside 75 100 bucks a month which is very easy to do and if you can't you need to think about a career change or you got a drug problem lol...then in 6 months use your cash and sell the axis and buy something you can be proud of and pass down.
I’ve been buying hunting guns for a while.. honestly have never taken the guns appearance into consideration when purchasing 🤣
Its entry level but very capable. It’s a service to the firearm purchasing public to have this and other well made, less expensive entry level rifle available. As we all know, not everyone who is able and responsible enough to own a gun can afford the top of the line.
Savage Axis ain’t a bad gun
With hand loads out of my savage axis 243 at 100 yards is shooting a 3 shot grope at .180 inches
I’ll take a Savage Axis over a Ruger American. I ordered a GO Wild version and the action squeaked in the stock just picking it up!!! Savage Axis doesn’t do that!!!!
@@chrisbell9054 I have both literally had the same problem the other way around but ruger is better for accuracy
I don't think it's ugly at all..
Actually, they are pretty slick. The only thing I'd change is that plastic trigger guard.
Who cares what it looks like as long as it works
Right. I've not met a deer yet that's offended by being shot with an ugly rifle. 😂
Boyds Hardwoods makes an awesome line of stocks for the Ruger American. If it happens to be chambered in 300 BO or 556 they make a stock that accepts AR mags.
Thanks for throwin' that out there, for all of us! Your thoughtfulness, to help other shooters is is appreciated!
If it does what it says on the tin, it doesn’t matter how ugly it is.
If it’s still works when it’s chucking it down with rain freezing or in the middle of a sandstorm and you can still knock down whatever you’re trying to kill then looks certainly do not matter when things work and their last and people will keep going back to buy them and they’ll keep using them
The stocks really aren't that bad though. The v blocks are bedded very well. My 308 is a 1000 yard gun out of the box. It would be awesome if they offered a walnut stock for these.
If you like the action/barrel enough, if you go to a bigger gun show, you might get lucky enough to make a custom stock for you, to really make you smile!!! I've done so, in the past, and it'll look and fit better too! Good luck!
Meh, I have a Savage Axis, it isn't a woman, its a firearm, a tool. I'm not in to it for looks, I'm in to it for its affordability and use, period.
The best is the enemy of good enough.
Ouch... the axis 2 was the first long gun I bought. Still have it even tho I have better rifles now. It's accurate enough for what I do with it
Try handloading for it ! It woke my rifle up tremendously! 5 shots 1 hole @110yds
As a 19 year old all i could afford was a savage axis, ive gotten 2 bucks with it countless hogs and coyotes, it works every time (other than once but i think it was the winchester xp ammo) its a good rifle for anyone who cant afford much
Who the hell cares what a rifle looks like as long as it shoots good. Some of us aren’t out there to impress our buddies!!
I like the looks of the rifle it's utilitarian and modern, plis it don't expand like wood when it gets moisture on it.
Dont dis the savage axis
The Savage Axis needs to be cast into the pits of hell
@@masonoutdoors_masonleather it's 300 dollars good
@@masonoutdoors_masonleathermake sure you throw that garbage leatherwork in with it
I have a savage axis. Its actually a pretty good rifle once you clean the bolt and put it in a stif stock. I forgot the names place but they make premade stocks for the savage for 150$
Gotta beef that stock up. I cut grooves and inlaid steel rod in it. Than filled it with a hardening putty. Put it back together while it was curing and slipped paper in-between the stock and barrel. In 22-250 55gr v max damn things .25 moa at 100yds
That’ll certainly do it!
@@masonoutdoors_masonleather have you seen the guys reaching out to a mile with this cambered in the 6.5 creedmoore? Very impressive to see
A good looking gun, is easier to love, provided it shoots tight.
But I like the looks of both the Ruger & the Savage.
Regular guns, for regular folks with a regular job to do.
Can’t use one in my bench rest competition, but I can put meat on the table with em.
Which do you figure is most important ?
Not ugly. It works. It is available, accurate and reliable. What else is needed? Am I missing something? I'd buy it.
I got the go-wild in 30-06 and bought a bunch of cool stuff for it and now it looks awesome
This dude knows nothing. It doesn't matter how it looks it how it works. The savage axis looks better than any hunk of crap you have.
That ugly, you don't buy it... instead, you rush out and buy a Sako!
I recently bought a Ruger American in.308 and bore sighted it and went over to my uncles place to sight it in put it on paper.. the first 3 shot group was less than 3"" inches just from the bore sight! It got tighter groups after the sight in! So Ill keep my " Ugly" Ruger American! and I dont need any lipstick!
I thought the same thing about my Remington 597 22LR synthetic stock plastic magazine but for 150 bucks with a case and an optic that is decent couldn't beat It upgraded the stock to an AR stock and now I'm running multiple sites whenever I feel or whatever I want to pick because that has an M lock on it now
Never understood how it would be considered an ugly rifle
Most bolt actions look the same to me. Now things like the Glock, supernova and the first gen tavor? Those are some faces only a mother could love. PS, it'd be super cool if you did leather for semi auto stuff too, but nothing comes to mind RN
My stock doesn’t flex at all and I do believe it’s a good looking rifle. Also can’t anything as reliable at the price point. Great gun.
Bro called my favorit gun the second ugliest he knows?! First moment I saw that rifle and I fell in love🥲
What i care about in bolt guns
What caliber is it
Is it reliable?
I have the same rifle like you, it’s super accurate and it can long distance. My 308 ruger is a short barrel but it sure is my fav to go target practice
Just got my 9 y.o. Son his first 10/22...
Bless your heart! Teach him safety and "tack drivin'"! Keep on makin' memories! I'm getting flashbacks, as my Dad started me on an older Savavage 29A pump, at the same age!!
It’s “ugly” so he can sell his leatherwork
If it works, it's beautiful. I found it uglier with the mason leather.
I’d rather the ugliest gun on the planet then no gun at all
Exactly.
I had a model 70 winchester stainless. Sold it and shopped for 3 years. Buy once cry once is 100% true. Got a Tikka 6.5 and have never looked back. Looked at both mentioned rifles and knew wouldn't make me happy.
I mean, swap out the stock for a MDT chassis and you just fixed both the stock issue and the mag issue.
And you spent as much on the stock as the rifle
@@masonoutdoors_masonleather Yup, and still spent less than something of similar quality and capability that’s put together in a factory.
The wooden stock version looks nice
Benelli Lupo is among the strangest looking boltguns.
Just cause it’s cheap doesn’t mean it’s ugly
I’ve hands down got the best looking savage axis and I say it’d put some expensive brands to shame it’s a 7mm-08 that came in mossy oak bottomland. I’ve since kitted it out with a sling to match and scope cover aswell
The savage axis is by far the most disgusting rifle I have ever had the displeasure of handling
Agree completely
Put that action in a nice laminant stock and its a pretty damn nice looking rifle. And damn accurate!
yeah, it works, but trying to cycle the action is about as smooth as nails on a chalkboard.. got stuck on me trying to chamber a round deer hunting and its not fun to deal with
I have a predator in grendel. Thing is a tack driver. 10 rnd steel magazine & threaded barrel.
Sweet
I'll just swap out the rifle stock into a better stock that'd be the best way of doing it then on top of that you can go someplace and you can order a metal or brownells and order a solid metal magazine for it or when you change out the rifle stock have a built-in magazine for it that could hold five shots and what's the best way of doing that or just have a four shot magazine built into it it'll be a standard stock instead of a removing the clip magazine
Only complaint with mine is the magazine being a cheap hunk of crap but everything else is fine. Trade it in for the gen II they just released
Is the stock like that because of a free floated barrel or is the tolerances just crap?
The only thing ugly about that rifle is that dollar general quality leatherwork he put on the stock
Ugly? I would prefer to call it "plain", but not ugly. However, I have the Ruger American Ranch (7.62x39) and a Ruger American Predator (22-250). Both are dependable and very accurate (consistent 1" at 100 yds, once you find the best ammo for that particular rifle)
You can always spray paint them and just do a custom job. Maybe even the magpull stocks if you want a cash pit. You got one in every round they make so maybe find the one you like the most then upgrade it. Or don’t who cares it was 250 on sale at BPS.
I wouldn't necessarily say it's ugly. It just looks very plain and basic. Nothing really sets it apart from other rifles. It actually looks quite similar to my TC Compass .223
Mag definitely isn’t the best,but I think the gun itself is one of the better looking ones you can buy for under 1k
My old Savage Edge has an almost identical stock as the Ruger. No play in the barrel like the Ruger and the mags are metal not all plastic
Either way. It's a damn good little rifle that you can depend on. Looks don't put meat on the table, and ive seen some beautiful rifles that don't shoot for shit.
This dude doesn't know what he's talking about, the Savage Axis is an outstanding rifle!
I went and bought a wood stock for mine. Looks fantastic and the raised cheek rest and adjustable butt plate help me with that punch from the 450 bushmaster
Lipstick on a pig. ? People laugh. Taking the hogs to auction, I have washed,shampooed, brushed, put a pink bow on its head, & painted it's toenails, lipstick on a pig. Yeah, to get TOP DOLLAR.
Looks like he was describing him self 🤣
Why is it ugly???
that looks like 90% of all hunting rifles just a piece of plastic/wood with a pipe and bolt through it
I am glad I got a 77 with a walnut stock years ago. That 300 win mag has been good. Shooting from a bench can be punishing but hunting offhand , standing , sitting and prone never shooting extreme distances I alway’s hit My mark. I like anything that shoots especially old military arms of every kind . I even want 57mm or 90 mm anti tank gun. I love primitive archery and frankly I have seen homemade slingshot arms that are primitive but works of art. For long range a drone that can shoot flames , land on things and create short circuits or crop dust with drugs are also possibilities
I don’t think either of them are ugly, it’s a budget bolt gun, it’s supposed to look like a budget bolt gun not a Tikka
