- In this video, I break down my current main hunting rifle setup, and review the pros/cons of the rifle itself as well as the scope I have mounted on it, and the various accessories. I think this combination is the ultimate budget build that also fits the bill for a serious hunter who, like me, wants to prioritize hunting alot, every single year, and harvest animals consistently and often. Really can't go wrong with this setup!
If anyone watching has any suggestions for me, please comment. Or if you work for Magpul and want to make me a long-action stock for this rifle, please do so and DM me!

underrated. simple and straight to the point, i love it man
Thank you!!
I bought a Browning Xbolt. A Hells Canyon Speed Long Range 280AI. I ordered a McCarbo trigger spring. I got it down to under 2 pds. I went with a Leupold scope. A VX6 HD 4x24x52mm TMOA reticle. I bought this setup to take on a spring bear hunt. Next spring hopefully. I am going to either Idaho or Montana. I am fixing to start load development.
Thanks for watching my video!
I went with a Leupold 1 piece base 20 moa with built in level. Them Ruger rifles are shooters. Take a Dremel tool. Clean the barrel channel out. So it's not touching. Then bed the rifle. My Leupold is illuminated reticle.
Boyd’s gun stock is what I’ve been looking at
I ordered a Boyd's 2 years ago. And when I got it, I returned it the very next day. It had deep sanding marks from a sander, paint splatter and runs, unfinished milling job for action, my gun wouldn't fit without trimming a ton. And I didn't want to hack it up and not be able to return it if it still didn't work. One of the biggest let downs of my life.
Yeah, bought my son one in 30/06 years ago ,it has been flawless, light and accurate with a dednutz mount.
What was the mount you used?
@@SawtoothWild DNZ game reaper, the third one I have installed. Highly recommend.

I just found your channel and I subscribed. Great video. I have a Mossberg ATR100 270. That's all I use is a 270. God Bless from Oklahoma
I just bought one in 270, shortened the stock, put on a limb saver grind to fit & a 3x9 scope, love it!
*3-9 scope. How did you shorten the stock?
@@SawtoothWild I removed the recoil pad & cut it with a power miter saw
nice rifle. I got a Mossberg patriot 270 win. no upgrades with a Vortex diamondback tactical 4x16x44 FFP EBR-2C MOA i
How do you like that setup?
it's pretty good need some more practice with it
Thank you sir great video.
Bought one on Black Friday for $200. I got so excited at the price tag I HAD to buy it and I didn’t have a 270 atm. I like my 6.5 and 257wby way more but it’s pretty solid
Shoots good?
@@SawtoothWild yeah I can shoot under half inch groups all day with 140 grain federal premium trophy bonded
How does you're shoot with Hornady? SST or ELD-X, ELD-M, GMX
@@SawtoothWild it shoots alright with the hornady American white tails. Never tried the eld x in my 270 but in my bergara 6.5 I can shoot 3 in the same hole with eld x
Another great video!
Thanks buddy! How's that jam?
@@SawtoothWild it’s on the menu for tonight making some fresh croissants with dinner.
I liked your honest review. I'm thinking about getting a Ruger like yours. How accurate is your gun with store bought ammo???? Thanks
So far it's killed 3 bears and about 6 deer, so accurate enough for me! I have been having a hard time picking ammo because some days I get alot of great accurate shots, and bad with certain store-bought ammo loads
And then other days, it's exactly the opposite. The bad-shooting loads shoot well and the good-shooting loads shoot poorly lol. So I'm starting to think it's either just me, or my shooting rest is too rigid. I want to play around with it a little more once it gets above freezing here, but then with ammo availability being how it has been, that might be a challenge
@@SawtoothWild damn a bear 😮
$500.. damn it’s $1200 AUD, like $800 I guess USD. In Australia… interesting you spend more on the scope. Good review though, this is a real review and good details. A bit long but great info.
My philosophy is to spend as much on the scope as you do your gun. If the gun is only a $200 gun, then a $200 scope is probably all you need since the gun itself probably can't shoot well enough to need a nice scope. A $3,000 rifle would be seriously underperforming with a $200 scope. You'd get $200-gun-quality-shots with a $3000 gun, also doesn't make sense.
Go with magpul stock you will love it
Considered it, they don't make a Magpul stock for the Ruger American in a long-action!! I would've bought it in a heartbeat.
@@SawtoothWildhhhhhhhhaaaatttt. That seems like a mistake on their part
I have the same gun, what hight size scope rings thinking about getting the same scope, looks great on it. 👍
They are the 34mm Vortex Precision Matched rings, medium height 🙂
I would go a little deeper in the pocket for a Tikka,,,Thank you,
Dang, is this 4k quality?
Yes sir!!
How does the scope plate mount to gun cam you send pictures
I don't know how to send pictures on here, but it just screws into the top of the receiver
@@SawtoothWild can you send me link to the plate you got
@@jmanjman4427 www.leupold.com/backcountry-cross-slot-ruger-american-la-1-pc-matte
Finally got my scope, My rail is a split rail My rings fit on one side but not the other Too narrow For the 34mm, When you ordered your rail Did you have to give a certain size when you ordered ?
Would it be A 20Moa
American ruger 270 win.
@@docbarcando No sir. The 20MOA would be the height of the rail/bases, not the slot size. The narrow slot is a "weaver" size, it won't fit a "picatinny"-sized ring, but a picatinny size slot would fit a weaver-sized ring. You either need to replace that single weaver base with a picatinny-slotted base, or get a one-piece picatinny rail like I did.
You don't need illumination....Just learn how to shoot.
I don't. But the non-illuminated scope wasn't available at the time of purchase.
