I have this rifle in 350 Legend. The bolt was rough out of the box. I took some sharpening stones to the machine marks, then coated the bolt in lithium grease and had my son run the action 1,000 times (for disrespecting his mother). Now it is smooth. Like James said, not silky like a high end rifle, but much improved. Relatively pleasant. The rifle is accurate. Went 2 for 2 on deer last fall.
I have the same in 350 legend. What mags have you been using? I’ve only tried with a 10rd pmag(10 rds of 556 that is), and I have had feeding issues. Did you get specific 350 legend mags for yours?
My parents would have me write lines (100 was the usual) but they’d make me write an extra 10 lines for every one they found illegible. That and the ubiquitous washing of the mouth with soap.
I have this rifle in 300blk, 7.62x39, and 5.56. I love them all. The 7.62 bolt was kind of blah out of the box. But after a few hundred rounds and a little work on the bolt, it’s like butter. For a few years my 300blk was my porch deer rifle. Most shots were around 40-80 yards suppressed. My own hand loads. But all but one dropped where they stood. The 5.56 is what I use to test all my 5.56/223 reloading. It’s a freaking tact driver with multiple ammo brands. Not to mention the insane accuracy I was getting out of the 7.62x39. I’m getting more like half inch groups at 100 with Barnaul and the steel cased Hornady.
I have the 7.62x39 with a 4x16 Athalon. It shoots great groups with cheap ammo, no recoil. No problem with the factory 5 round mag. Will NOT feed with the factory 10 rounder. Any ideas? This gun is Way more fun than my AK.
@@rodrigohernandez4422 so… I took the bolt out and did a thorough cleaning. At this point though I had already ran the rifle a good bit. So the action was a good bit smoother than it was out of the box… still not great or as smooth as I wanted it. Anyways… i could still feel some rough spots or burs on the bolt in various spots. I wet sanded those down with some pretty fine sand paper. I can’t remember exactly what grit. I then took a microfiber cloth and rubbed it across various spots and if it wasn’t smooth(a micro bur grabbing some of the cloth) I sanded the area down more till the cloth didn’t grab anywhere. I then used some flitz compound and gave the whole bolt a couple good runs of polishing with the flitz. When I first got the rifle I noticed there was spots on the inside of the action where the bolt runs as well. So I went looking in there with the microfiber cloth as well. Well those had almost all worked themselves smooth. So went over the area with a little flitz for good measure. Boom! It’s so much quieter and runs buttery smooth.
@@sylverbullit7192 so… I’ve heard about this issue before. I’ve read that taking the mags apart and flipping the mag spring upside down will keep the rounds from nose diving. All that being said, I never had to deal with this. When I first got mine I couldn’t find any 10 or 20 round factory mags for sell. So I just called and got the ar mag well from ruger(same magwell on the 5.56 and 300blk that use ar mags) so now I can shoot my ar style 7.62x39 mags since I already had a bunch of the asc mags anyways.
I had a lot of 7.62x39 and bought one of these as soon as they came out. I've tried every type of ammo I could get my hands on and mine shoots 1 inch or less at 100 yards with everything. I can keep hunting through any ammo shortage with this rifle and Russian soft points. I put a night vision scope and bipod on mine and I've killed tons of hogs with it. Definitely a keeper
My American Predator in 6.5 CM is awesome, sub .5" groups @ 100 yards. I did have a problem out of the box, Ruger lived up to their Customer Service rep, sent it in, they changed the barrel and sent back within 2 weeks.
I got my American predator 6.5 with a Vortex for under $600 and love shooting it. I never had a issue with it and you can't get a better gun for the money
I love this kind of video. So many people overlook inexpensive options because they assume that only lots of money can buy quality. I have 4 Ruger American Ranch rifles and I love them all. Also, I mounted less expensive scopes (all under $400) that perform well enough I just don't think about changing them up. Keep up the great work TFBTV+

Never had a Ruger disappoint. Not once in 33 years of shooting. Pistol or rifle. I can honestly say I don't know one old man in my world that doesn't respect Ruger. Myself included
I have had this rifle in 7.62 and a 30cal suppressor for a few years. It is one of the cheaper rifles I own, but absolutely one of my favorites to shoot. Recoil is perfect, at about 70% of a .308 you can shoot all day, no problem and it’s cheap. With subsonic ammo it’s unbelievably quiet!
@Omar Mijares they are around, they get picked up quick. Got mine 4 weeks ago at Scheels. 2 weeks before that, i was at the same store and there was one on the shelf. I hum hawed for a few minutes and when i went back, it was already gone. Next chance i had, i didnt hesitate. Ordered a couple 20rd mini 30 mags for it and i love it.

Love it, I have this exact set up! I use this as my hunting rig. It's stupid quiet, accurate, and reliable. The cold hammer forged barrel sold me and then the price is amazing.
I went with a Leupold 3x9 freedom on it. I run the SDN6 suppressor as well. The factory trigger shines at the lowest weight setting as well sir. Thank you for the video as always!
What scope are you running on it? Thinking about doing a similar build but can’t decide on what scope I want for it? I’m leaning towards the Leopold 1x5 but still debating what to get
@@burtonshift2training513 I’m running the same scope and suppressor. T51 adapters we’re hard to find there for a while but they’re not being produced again so I bought 3 more for the rest of my .30cals
Hands down the best fun/$ ratio in my gun safe. I got my first can two weeks ago and picked up the Ruger American (556/223) last week. 489 (Ruger American) + 449(YHM Turbo T2) + 300 (Vortex 1-8).
@@LeeBro999 The can conundrum…Barely had my first can for 2 weeks, and I’m already looking for a second, and probably third. I will look into the the K for sure.
@@ikazukison2 Yeah, it’s the Strike Eagle 1-8. It’s a solid piece of glass for the price. The reticle is easy to use, and the glass is pretty good considering the price point. Would definitely recommend it if you can get a good deal. Watch for a daily deal on Palmetto’s website ~ $300 shipped.
I didn't come for the Ruger, a budget build, or even the short shorts. I came to watch a suppressed subsonic bolt gun run some steel targets at range, one of my favorite types of shooting. I like just about all guns and all types of shooting, but this type of shooting really tickles my trousers the most.
Ruger does have great customer service. I had a rifle that the barrel extension came loose on and even though it was over a year old they paid the shipping both ways and fixed it for free.
Fantastic choice! I’ve got the 7.62x39 version and it’s awesome… except for the bolt hold open mags. Pretty annoying having to take the mag out to close the bolt. It’s still accurate and there’s subs and supers available. I chose the 7.62x39 because I thought I’d mostly be shooting supersonic ammo, so it would be cheaper to shoot in the long run. I still want the 300 blackout version though.
@@TommyboyGTP true. When I wasn’t looking though, my friend was forcing it forward because the rounds don’t always load smoothly and somehow broke a small piece of plastic off of the stock. Still functional all be it.
Good video! I’ve got a Savage 110 .308 and I pimped the he’ll out of it. It was $600 with a threaded barrel, adjustable trigger (down to 2 pounds), and adjustable plastic stock (to an extent). I threw on a vortex crossfire 2 (highly recommend this scope for its super user friendly interface and bang for your buck), got one of my local gunsmiths to make a custom muzzle break for me (almost as big as a 50 cal 😂) got a Harris bipod and a $20 sling, and ordered a wood stock from Boyd’s. I gotta say, I spent too much, but it’s got INSANE accuracy. The groupings you were shooting at 50, it was doing at 100 with 20 mph winds plus the power of 308 versus 300 blk. Obviously, it just depends what you want, but mine’s a deer rifle. If I’m gonna shoot, I’m not planning on shooting more than once and if I do, it’s to get more than one deer and either suppressed or not, the deer are still gonna be spooked that their friend just dropped dead next to them so I say it’s an even trade
I wanted to start hunting and Ruger was a brand I’ve heard of and they had a left handed version which I got in 308 now that I’m shooting more I’ve bought 1500 and 2000 dollar rifle and I’m not lying they are not better than my Ruger there good but Ruger with that rotary magazine is amazing!🤯🔫👍🏼
My Ruger American Predator 6.5 has been my go to rifle for deer season and distance shooting since they dropped. .3 MOA groups from a "budget" rifle is just fun.
I’ve had the Ruger American 300 blackout for over a year. It’s one of my favorite guns to shot suppressed. I use the Silencerco Hybrid and lancer 300 blk mags, it works great.
No hiccups? What ammo do you use for subs? I REALLY want to pick this rifle up but I hear terrible things about the FTF issues. I have a CGS Hyperion waiting in jail.
I built my Ruger American in 300 b/o with almost the same setup about a year ago. Mine doesn’t have a sling and I use the Vox from Energetic Armament. That combo rocks! Extremely accurate an whisper quiet. I love my Ruger!
I always say these Rugers are the best budget rifle a man can buy. Even the short barrel ranches like this one… think they have others, like a predator… Has a longer barrel, but seems like there all tac drivers.
J you keep saying your old. Bro you look really young to me, im a 58 year old retired bronx firefighter. Im really feeling old these days. If your old im a fossil. You do great work and I like to see what your take is on guns before I lay down my cold hard cash. Thanks for all your research and work. Your helping all us old guys make better choices. GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER.
The two things I really really really want ruger to make is a takedown bolt action American ranch and a pistol/SBR variant exclusively for the .300 blackout.
I have the Ruger American Ranch and it is chambered in 7.62x39. It is an amazing rifle! One modification I plan to do is install the 5.56/.223 mag well as it allows me to use “AR47” magazines instead of the pricier Mini 30 mags. Only letdown to the ranch series is the lack of iron sights, that and the actions aren’t smooth with the Mini 30 mags but that mag wasn’t exactly designed for the bolt action rifle. I should probably add that Nodak Spud makes and aftermarket site set for it.
@@travisp11 Yeah, but the sold their company off to PSA and it won't be until late this year, or next, that they'll be available again. With PSA you never know.
I had their American in 6.5cm before I grew bored with the cartridge. The rifle itself was excellent, came with a leupold scope for like 800 new from Scheels, it shot excellent, much better than I was capable of. I didn't find the machining marks to be a big issue on mine, helps hold oil just like a milling machine bed.
Got one earlier this year. Threw on a gen 1 strike eagle that's been sitting in a parts drawer and a $30 walmart bipod. Using a Chimera 300 that basically bounces around all my rifles. Hilarious to take friends/coworkers/family to the range with sub-sonics and watch their reaction when they experience the lack of a ka-boom.
I have the same gun. I put a cheap Bushnell dusk and dawn 3-9 scope on mine. Total investment of $550 including the strap. Great short, light weight deer gun for the New Hampshire woods.
I really like my 7.62x39 flavor of this rifle. I wanted the 7.62 at the time, so hadn't really considered the mags. I think that using the AR standard mag is a real selling point for buying this rifle in the 5.56 or .300 calibers over some of the other offerings. I sure wish that I could use an AK mag in mine. Good vid
I have 2 ruger ranch in 7.62x39, and they are hard as hell to find. When I took my first one out to shoot,I was amazed at how accurate it was,.5moa at 50 yards. I found a my second one a few months back. Love them to death. And they use mini30 magazines.
Ruger American rifles are some of my favorite. Great price, available in just about any caliber, many use standard mags (mini 30, AR, etc…). My .308 had to go back to the mothership as well, new bolt, it’s up and running again
Very timely review. Have been looking for a 5.56 “emergency” rifle for the trunk. Bolt action so legal in all 50 states. Magazine fed. Threaded for muzzle brake. And can equip for under $800.
Just got myself a .308 battle rifle. Next is a can for it. This rifle was the last bit to round out my collection so far. You're really cutting into my bottom line here James, goddamn it.
I have the original non-AR mag version and shoots great, waiting for someone around here to get the AR mag version in. Your optic doesn't limit you in your group sizes, it's what you are aiming at. I recommend not using round black dots and go with a larger diamond shaped target to align the crosshairs with diamond points. You'll be amazed at the accuracy.
The best part is, with the primal can you can pick up a Henry X model in 44 magnum and have your Fudd assault rifle to go with your Fudd tactical sniper.
I’ve wanted to build this rifle in this setup for freakin YEARS! For a cheaper aftermarket stock option you can get a Boyd’s Spike Camp. Once I upgrade my LPVO on my AR, I’ll put the Cabela’s Covenant 1-8 on it. Would make a perfect predator gun
@@J.sh_CDN it is, and so is their featherweight thumbhole stock I have on another gun, but their At-One Thumbhole is even more amazing. I’ve got a video of it on my channel if you want to check it out, but it has a comb height and length of pull push button adjustments
I traded my Savage Axis 30-06 for an American Predator 308. No regrets here. Pre-threaded barrel for muzzle and suppressors, optional mag well 5 to 10 round mag. ($28) A great bolt that does not lift into the scope. I got the lowest rings and have yet to hit my knuckle.
@@wesleycristman3278 It is not the rifle. It is ones preparedness for SHTF. I can use my SKS which does not have a scope. It is semi-auto. I also have a Mini 14 that I can put a scope on. It is all in what you are prepared with. If at last resort on foot, my mini 14 would be the one I take. If I could the Mini and American. If I can toss them both in a car. Plus, my eyes are good for 150 yards with iron sights.
No BS. Nice review. I got a Ruger American in .308 when they first came out and slapped a Leupold V2 on it, my first entry level "hunting" rifle. Damn, but it is ACCURATE!
Fantastic video, great info and entertaining as well. I've also had great luck with Ruger, including customer service on the only issue I ever had with a Ruger firearm.
I’ve had one for years. It always got like this after a few rounds with subs too. I thought “gun doesn’t like subs” and relinquished it to the back of my safe. Thanks to you’re experience, I contacted ruger. Thank you, a lot.
I saw one of these in OD at a lgs at the beginning of the pandemic for $300 flat, and i wanted to buy it sooo bad. My dad talked me out of it that time, and the next time we went, and when i went back the 3rd time, it was gone. Since then, its been on a bunch of review channels as "the quietest gun ever" and so forth, and i regret listening to him every single day since. Prolly woulda made a great hunting rifle with OTM's in 220gr or the Sig 208gr HP. DAMMIT, DAD.😂
@@virtuaguyverify i use the pistol i got instead on a daily, and i also use it to teach newbies, so it IS well used... i just often think i shouldve bought the American as well... maybe borrowed the 300 bux off my dad, bbut he is STILL oblivious as to how awesome the 300blk is. It shoulda been a sign that the 300blk gun at $300 was the buy i needed to make... maybe the pistol wouldve still been there a week later. The rifle sold FAST, for good reason.
I think it would be really great to see just how well the American Ranch can perform with the better accessories on the market. There are chassis systems for it, and the 6.5 Grendel would be extremely interesting also. Thanks James
Last year I got one of these rifles for my dad for Christmas and he loves it. Then in July I took it to run my buddys dead air sandman suppressor and fell in love with the gun and cans.
I have a Ruger American in 6.5 Creedmoor that I put a Boyd stock on and bedded the barrel. I have taken 17 whitetail in the past 6 years and none have done anything but fall where they stood out to 295 yard most at under 200 have more expensive rifles and second choice is my Sig Cross in 6.5cm. Just speaking with friends that these Ruger affordable options are easily moa with right ammo and shooter. Thanks for the review of the 300BO a validation of the discussion I was just having. Always watch your channel great content
@@owllymannstein7113 I respect your opinion and agree. However I also live in NY so if you can find 10rnd AR mags in x39 I will gladly exchange sexual favors for them
@@stumpyduby Gunmagwarehouse currently has 5 rounders in stock, and 10 rounders as out of stock. Midway also had 10 rounders for awhile. You can save the sexual favors up for the next guy.
Great, I've wanted this setup for over a year. I was waiting for the plandemic pricing to come back down. Now everyone will want one and I won't get one on sale for another year. Thanks!
My current bolt action is a Remington 700, the original barrel was a 22" .308, which I've since replaced with an X-Caliber 28" .243 Winchester M24 profile barrel, 1 : 7.5 twist. The scope I'm using is a 12x42 SWFA Super Sniper. It's a bear to carry, but it pushes 115 grain DTACs at 3150-3200 FPS with hand loads very accurately. With 6 to 6.5 mils of drop at 1,000 yards, and less than a mil in adjustment for 5mph cross wind at the same range, I'm happy with it. The rifle ran me $500 used, the barrel was around $600 from X-Caliber, and the scope cost me about $220 on a black Friday sale. Oh, and those 115 grain DTACs hit with AUTHORITY at those velocities. Over 2,000 ft lbs as far put as 250 yards.
Bought mine a couple months back, and I also bought some D&H Tactical magazine's for 300 BLK. Primarily shooting subsonic handloads using 225 grain Hornady ELD Match, and my rifle loves them. And there's nothing quite like shooting subsonic ammo suppressed.
I put a Nikon tactical .300 blackout specific 2x7 on mine.. great scope.. was getting hits out 475 yards and even 500 yards, prone, and with a bi-pod.. love this little bolt gun
I’m disabled and a hunter so I need a super lightweight set up. I went with the American Ranch in 7.62x39. I chose the x39 due to having thousands of rounds already stocked being an AK and SKS collector. This relatively inexpensive rifle shoots lights out with cheap Russian steel cased ammunition. For white tail I use 124gr S&B soft point and for hogs I use 154gr Wolf Soft point. My only knock on it is that Ruger mini 30 mags are pricy and kind of suck, at least in this rifle. Wish they had a way to run 7.62x39 AR mags in it. I know they are a PITA as well but that’s usually over 10 rounds. I topped it off with a Primary Arms FFP 1x6 with the 7.62x39 calibrated Raptor reticle.
Good choice in bolt-action rifle. I prefer Howa 1500 purely because they offer threaded barrels in the fudd calibers while still being below $600. I really don't see the point in spending big bucks on a bolt action. My $550 Howa 1500 with a suppressor and $150 timney trigger (1.5 lbs trigger) shoots as smooth as $2000 bolt-actions I've tried before.
I hot a Thompson Center compass. Did a trigger job 80 cent spring from lowes. Now it is 2 1/4 lbs all day. Put on 0a Boyds stock with a bedding job. A Leupold scope tha cost $480. Man what a shooter.
Ruger, Tikka, CZ, Howa, and Savage make some amazing quality products for those on budgets. It's annoying how often they are overlooked for the 3k+ weapons.
I have manyany Ruger's.....and while not a premium brand they are about as dependable as a sledge hammer . There customer support is insanely good. I have been keeping my eye out for one in a shorter barreled 308. Similar build as yours with out the can. I well probably upgrade trigger and perhaps stock. Well unless I can find a used tikka
I live in a straight wall state. I have the Ruger American in .350 legend with a vortex 1-4x scope. Love that rifle. Light, handy, accurate and inexpensive. Will be a great rifle to get my daughter started deer hunting in a couple years.
My savage is the exact same platform and I absolutely love it. It accepts .308 box mags and has not failed on me yet.. and the 1000 yard reach is astonishing.
Interesting, I've been aware of these but I've not been into the.300BO until relatively recently when I completed a AR pistol upper in it. But I've been thinking about a longer barrel and I'm not too keen on "just another" AR build.
I have the .556 and the 762x39. I took the bolts apart and spun them in my lathe. Using polishing paper I smoothed out the bolts and finished with 1500 grit paper and oil. The bolts run really slick now.
If they had these in .300blk 7 years ago, I would of opted for one of these over the Howa scout rifle in .308 that sits in my safe except when I pull it out to stare at it angrily
Been wanting to get one of these for awhile but not at retail. My FFL could get me one at wholesale...when one of his distributors finally gets one in stock. Meantime I already have a spare Vortex LPRO from an AR build I changed, but not sure if the Primary Arms mount it's on would be appropriate for a bolt action.
I just went to the gun range yesterday, It wasn't my first time, but it was my first time testing a ruger american. That was also my first time wanting to buy a gun for hunting and collection. Now that you mention it, I have to look into 60 mags for my future ruger 308 win
Use a thin leather strop (like a barber uses for razors)!with the white buffing compound on the bolt. It will make a MIRROR finish in no time! Slicker up the action and makes working the bolt feel like throwing a hotdog down a hallway!

I have had this rifle in 7.62 and a 30cal suppressor for a few years. It is one of the cheaper rifles I own, but absolutely one of my favorites to shoot. Recoil is perfect, at about 70% of a .308 you can shoot all day, no problem and it’s cheap. With subsonic ammo it’s unbelievably quiet!
The 7.63x39 version is the true budget gun at $.35/pew. I put a 2-7 leupold vx1 on mine and it shoots moa with wolf steel case.
@Omar Mijares they are around, they get picked up quick. Got mine 4 weeks ago at Scheels. 2 weeks before that, i was at the same store and there was one on the shelf. I hum hawed for a few minutes and when i went back, it was already gone. Next chance i had, i didnt hesitate. Ordered a couple 20rd mini 30 mags for it and i love it.
Have the same one with a cheap 80$ scope from walmart, a few mini 30 mags and i love it

That's why I love you TFB, you and garand thumb are both great at putting little bits of humor in mostly serious reviews which always makes me chuckle because I'm never expecting it.
And there's that occasional pop culture reference he throws in in many videos. Pretty funny.
Love it, I have this exact set up! I use this as my hunting rig. It's stupid quiet, accurate, and reliable. The cold hammer forged barrel sold me and then the price is amazing.
I went with a Leupold 3x9 freedom on it. I run the SDN6 suppressor as well. The factory trigger shines at the lowest weight setting as well sir. Thank you for the video as always!
What scope are you running on it? Thinking about doing a similar build but can’t decide on what scope I want for it? I’m leaning towards the Leopold 1x5 but still debating what to get
@@Romanus- Primary Arms has quite a selection of affordable scopes. I'm getting ready to order one from them soon based on reputation and price.
@@burtonshift2training513 I’m running the same scope and suppressor. T51 adapters we’re hard to find there for a while but they’re not being produced again so I bought 3 more for the rest of my .30cals
Now* being produced again*
Hands down the best fun/$ ratio in my gun safe. I got my first can two weeks ago and picked up the Ruger American (556/223) last week. 489 (Ruger American) + 449(YHM Turbo T2) + 300 (Vortex 1-8).
Turbo K is cool too if you want another can. I like better than t2
@@LeeBro999 The can conundrum…Barely had my first can for 2 weeks, and I’m already looking for a second, and probably third. I will look into the the K for sure.
how do you like the vortex 1-8, is that the strike eagle?
@@ikazukison2 Yeah, it’s the Strike Eagle 1-8. It’s a solid piece of glass for the price. The reticle is easy to use, and the glass is pretty good considering the price point. Would definitely recommend it if you can get a good deal. Watch for a daily deal on Palmetto’s website ~ $300 shipped.
I bought a Ruger American Ranch Rifle chambered in 5.56 and topped it with a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8 x . I'm satisfied with that rig .
I didn't come for the Ruger, a budget build, or even the short shorts. I came to watch a suppressed subsonic bolt gun run some steel targets at range, one of my favorite types of shooting. I like just about all guns and all types of shooting, but this type of shooting really tickles my trousers the most.
Lmao at “tickles my trousers” and I agree. At least the most satisfying to watch on camera.
Love mine in 450 bushmaster. My brother has a 350 legend and .22. All are very accurate and smooth rifles.
Have had a Ruger American Ranch for years. Super little rifle - fun, accurate, quiet, and inexpensive. 5 stars.
Ruger does have great customer service. I had a rifle that the barrel extension came loose on and even though it was over a year old they paid the shipping both ways and fixed it for free.
Gophers beware.
Fantastic choice! I’ve got the 7.62x39 version and it’s awesome… except for the bolt hold open mags. Pretty annoying having to take the mag out to close the bolt. It’s still accurate and there’s subs and supers available. I chose the 7.62x39 because I thought I’d mostly be shooting supersonic ammo, so it would be cheaper to shoot in the long run. I still want the 300 blackout version though.
@@borkwoof696 yah, but it’s still a procedure. It kinda bugs me when I’m not counting my rounds and the bolt just hits a wall.
@@RangeToyz That's how you know it's empty in a firefight so you can reload. That's been a feature in many older military bolt rifles.
I would like to a Pistol braced ruger American .300 BO with 7.5 inch barrel.
@@TommyboyGTP true. When I wasn’t looking though, my friend was forcing it forward because the rounds don’t always load smoothly and somehow broke a small piece of plastic off of the stock. Still functional all be it.
@@jessesimmons4503 good option :) I’ve seen a few 300 bo sbr’s with the suppressor flush to the handguard. I’ll do that if I buy one ;)
Good video! I’ve got a Savage 110 .308 and I pimped the he’ll out of it. It was $600 with a threaded barrel, adjustable trigger (down to 2 pounds), and adjustable plastic stock (to an extent). I threw on a vortex crossfire 2 (highly recommend this scope for its super user friendly interface and bang for your buck), got one of my local gunsmiths to make a custom muzzle break for me (almost as big as a 50 cal 😂) got a Harris bipod and a $20 sling, and ordered a wood stock from Boyd’s. I gotta say, I spent too much, but it’s got INSANE accuracy. The groupings you were shooting at 50, it was doing at 100 with 20 mph winds plus the power of 308 versus 300 blk. Obviously, it just depends what you want, but mine’s a deer rifle. If I’m gonna shoot, I’m not planning on shooting more than once and if I do, it’s to get more than one deer and either suppressed or not, the deer are still gonna be spooked that their friend just dropped dead next to them so I say it’s an even trade
Man Ruger just hits the mark with capable budget options. Great review and definitely need to get one of these.
Video just popped up in my feed randomly... glad I clicked on it! These rifle seems like such a cool idea for a build!
Read the title, knew I wasn't interested in a quiet budget bolt action, still watching because I enjoy James and his videos in general.
Thanks man
You mean James in his shorts, that's why I'm here
I wanted to start hunting and Ruger was a brand I’ve heard of and they had a left handed version which I got in 308 now that I’m shooting more I’ve bought 1500 and 2000 dollar rifle and I’m not lying they are not better than my Ruger there good but Ruger with that rotary magazine is amazing!🤯🔫👍🏼
Gotta agree, my RAR .300 is the one that I bring out the most. Paired with either a Thunder Chicken or Wolfman, it is stupid quiet.
My Ruger American Predator 6.5 has been my go to rifle for deer season and distance shooting since they dropped.
.3 MOA groups from a "budget" rifle is just fun.
I’ve had the Ruger American 300 blackout for over a year. It’s one of my favorite guns to shot suppressed. I use the Silencerco Hybrid and lancer 300 blk mags, it works great.
No hiccups? What ammo do you use for subs? I REALLY want to pick this rifle up but I hear terrible things about the FTF issues. I have a CGS Hyperion waiting in jail.
I built my Ruger American in 300 b/o with almost the same setup about a year ago. Mine doesn’t have a sling and I use the Vox from Energetic Armament. That combo rocks! Extremely accurate an whisper quiet. I love my Ruger!
I always say these Rugers are the best budget rifle a man can buy. Even the short barrel ranches like this one… think they have others, like a predator… Has a longer barrel, but seems like there all tac drivers.
J you keep saying your old. Bro you look really young to me, im a 58 year old retired bronx firefighter. Im really feeling old these days. If your old im a fossil. You do great work and I like to see what your take is on guns before I lay down my cold hard cash. Thanks for all your research and work. Your helping all us old guys make better choices. GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER.
The two things I really really really want ruger to make is a takedown bolt action American ranch and a pistol/SBR variant exclusively for the .300 blackout.
I have the Ruger American Ranch and it is chambered in 7.62x39. It is an amazing rifle! One modification I plan to do is install the 5.56/.223 mag well as it allows me to use “AR47” magazines instead of the pricier Mini 30 mags. Only letdown to the ranch series is the lack of iron sights, that and the actions aren’t smooth with the Mini 30 mags but that mag wasn’t exactly designed for the bolt action rifle. I should probably add that Nodak Spud makes and aftermarket site set for it.
Same here. I have seen a guy who makes iron sights for them though
Quality stuff.
@@franzbollich9314 yup! Nodak Spud makes an iron site set that you can add.

Yeah, but the sold their company off to PSA and it won't be until late this year, or next, that they'll be available again.
With PSA you never know.
@@pauld3402 This is good to know! Thanks
I had their American in 6.5cm before I grew bored with the cartridge. The rifle itself was excellent, came with a leupold scope for like 800 new from Scheels, it shot excellent, much better than I was capable of. I didn't find the machining marks to be a big issue on mine, helps hold oil just like a milling machine bed.
What was boring about it?
Got one earlier this year. Threw on a gen 1 strike eagle that's been sitting in a parts drawer and a $30 walmart bipod. Using a Chimera 300 that basically bounces around all my rifles. Hilarious to take friends/coworkers/family to the range with sub-sonics and watch their reaction when they experience the lack of a ka-boom.
Ruger predator in 308 with a 18” barrel is my deer rifle of choice in the eastern woods. Super handy and light
What ammo and gr are you running?
I have the same gun. I put a cheap Bushnell dusk and dawn 3-9 scope on mine. Total investment of $550 including the strap. Great short, light weight deer gun for the New Hampshire woods.
I really like my 7.62x39 flavor of this rifle. I wanted the 7.62 at the time, so hadn't really considered the mags. I think that using the AR standard mag is a real selling point for buying this rifle in the 5.56 or .300 calibers over some of the other offerings. I sure wish that I could use an AK mag in mine.
Good vid
Yeah, but finding AK mags in 5rd and 10 rd isn't possible.
I don't need a 30 rd mag all the time.

Ruger American rifles are some of my favorite. Great price, available in just about any caliber, many use standard mags (mini 30, AR, etc…). My .308 had to go back to the mothership as well, new bolt, it’s up and running again
The ruger American rifles are outstanding rifles. Ive shot quite a few and own two myself, all have been very accurate.

I have 4 of these grendel 22 and 16 in barrel, 7.62x39 and 308, my favorite rifles. MDT bolt knob is a must.
Just got myself a .308 battle rifle. Next is a can for it. This rifle was the last bit to round out my collection so far. You're really cutting into my bottom line here James, goddamn it.
I have the original non-AR mag version and shoots great, waiting for someone around here to get the AR mag version in. Your optic doesn't limit you in your group sizes, it's what you are aiming at. I recommend not using round black dots and go with a larger diamond shaped target to align the crosshairs with diamond points. You'll be amazed at the accuracy.
You can buy the ar magwell from ruger.

It is not the rifle.
It is ones preparedness for SHTF.

It is all in what you are prepared with.

Fantastic video, great info and entertaining as well. I've also had great luck with Ruger, including customer service on the only issue I ever had with a Ruger firearm.
I’ve had one for years. It always got like this after a few rounds with subs too. I thought “gun doesn’t like subs” and relinquished it to the back of my safe. Thanks to you’re experience, I contacted ruger. Thank you, a lot.
I saw one of these in OD at a lgs at the beginning of the pandemic for $300 flat, and i wanted to buy it sooo bad.
My dad talked me out of it that time, and the next time we went, and when i went back the 3rd time, it was gone. Since then, its been on a bunch of review channels as "the quietest gun ever" and so forth, and i regret listening to him every single day since.

Shooting from the backseat in the truck is badass
I think it would make an excellent "upgrade" option for them to include a silent action for this model. Call it the stealth action or something.
My current bolt action is a Remington 700, the original barrel was a 22" .308, which I've since replaced with an X-Caliber 28" .243 Winchester M24 profile barrel, 1 : 7.5 twist. The scope I'm using is a 12x42 SWFA Super Sniper.
It's a bear to carry, but it pushes 115 grain DTACs at 3150-3200 FPS with hand loads very accurately. With 6 to 6.5 mils of drop at 1,000 yards, and less than a mil in adjustment for 5mph cross wind at the same range, I'm happy with it.
The rifle ran me $500 used, the barrel was around $600 from X-Caliber, and the scope cost me about $220 on a black Friday sale.
Oh, and those 115 grain DTACs hit with AUTHORITY at those velocities. Over 2,000 ft lbs as far put as 250 yards.
Bought mine a couple months back, and I also bought some D&H Tactical magazine's for 300 BLK. Primarily shooting subsonic handloads using 225 grain Hornady ELD Match, and my rifle loves them. And there's nothing quite like shooting subsonic ammo suppressed.
I deeply appreciate the logic regarding suppressor selection in specific, but for the totality of content as well.
Loved my Ruger Ranch, I wanted a 7.62x 39 which wasn't available at the time so got .223. Roger introduced a 7.62 the next week :(. So I got a CZ 527
I put a Nikon tactical .300 blackout specific 2x7 on mine.. great scope.. was getting hits out 475 yards and even 500 yards, prone, and with a bi-pod.. love this little bolt gun

The promag aftermarket 10 round mags work fine with the ruger american 7.62x39 btw. Super cheap.
That's the great thing about bolt action magazine guns, if the mag fits, it will work or you can make it work.
I’m disabled and a hunter so I need a super lightweight set up. I went with the American Ranch in 7.62x39. I chose the x39 due to having thousands of rounds already stocked being an AK and SKS collector. This relatively inexpensive rifle shoots lights out with cheap Russian steel cased ammunition. For white tail I use 124gr S&B soft point and for hogs
I use 154gr Wolf Soft point. My only knock on it is that Ruger mini 30 mags are pricy and kind of suck, at least in this rifle. Wish they had a way to run 7.62x39 AR mags in it. I know they are a PITA as well but that’s usually over 10 rounds. I topped it off with a Primary Arms FFP 1x6 with the 7.62x39 calibrated Raptor reticle.
Good choice in bolt-action rifle. I prefer Howa 1500 purely because they offer threaded barrels in the fudd calibers while still being below $600. I really don't see the point in spending big bucks on a bolt action. My $550 Howa 1500 with a suppressor and $150 timney trigger (1.5 lbs trigger) shoots as smooth as $2000 bolt-actions I've tried before.
I hot a Thompson Center compass. Did a trigger job 80 cent spring from lowes. Now it is 2 1/4 lbs all day. Put on 0a Boyds stock with a bedding job. A Leupold scope tha cost $480. Man what a shooter.
Ruger, Tikka, CZ, Howa, and Savage make some amazing quality products for those on budgets. It's annoying how often they are overlooked for the 3k+ weapons.
What’s your opinion on the Savage Axis in 308?
I love that everything is US made. It's so important that we all pay attention to that.
I have manyany Ruger's.....and while not a premium brand they are about as dependable as a sledge hammer . There customer support is insanely good. I have been keeping my eye out for one in a shorter barreled 308. Similar build as yours with out the can. I well probably upgrade trigger and perhaps stock. Well unless I can find a used tikka
I have a Bergara B14 Ridge Special Purpose rifle . You might want to look it up sometime .
I live in a straight wall state. I have the Ruger American in .350 legend with a vortex 1-4x scope. Love that rifle. Light, handy, accurate and inexpensive. Will be a great rifle to get my daughter started deer hunting in a couple years.
I enjoy your videos. I would love to see what you would build in 22 cal. Thanks
My savage is the exact same platform and I absolutely love it. It accepts .308 box mags and has not failed on me yet.. and the 1000 yard reach is astonishing.
The only disappointing thing about the RAR in 7.62x39 is that it takes Rugers proprietary mags. Still am really happy with mine.
I had a dream that I looked as good in shorts as Brother James- it was AWESOME!!!
Interesting, I've been aware of these but I've not been into the.300BO until relatively recently when I completed a AR pistol upper in it.
But I've been thinking about a longer barrel and I'm not too keen on "just another" AR build.
I have one in .223. I love it. Very light and nice to shoot.
Ruger saves money by not hiring a guy to come up with cool names lol
I have the .556 and the 762x39. I took the bolts apart and spun them in my lathe. Using polishing paper I smoothed out the bolts and finished with 1500 grit paper and oil. The bolts run really slick now.
I polished my bolt with Mothers aluminum polish and its buttery smooth now
Wish they'd make more straight pull bolt actions...
If they had these in .300blk 7 years ago, I would of opted for one of these over the Howa scout rifle in .308 that sits in my safe except when I pull it out to stare at it angrily
🤣
Great video! I have a 5.56 Ranch with Vortex PST LPVO and it's awesome!
Been wanting to get one of these for awhile but not at retail. My FFL could get me one at wholesale...when one of his distributors finally gets one in stock. Meantime I already have a spare Vortex LPRO from an AR build I changed, but not sure if the Primary Arms mount it's on would be appropriate for a bolt action.
I just went to the gun range yesterday, It wasn't my first time, but it was my first time testing a ruger american. That was also my first time wanting to buy a gun for hunting and collection. Now that you mention it, I have to look into 60 mags for my future ruger 308 win
Short shorts and suppressed rifles. Is there anything better?
Use a thin leather strop (like a barber uses for razors)!with the white buffing compound on the bolt. It will make a MIRROR finish in no time! Slicker up the action and makes working the bolt feel like throwing a hotdog down a hallway!
The writing for this review was on point. I would rather get 7.62x39 b/c I have lots of it 🤪
