Im so happy to see it work out. Very nice for budget friendly.
I have the exact same rifle. My problem was the trigger was set at 5 lbs. I lowered it to just under 4 lbs. It was better but not great. It was spongy and gritty. I ordered a Timney trigger set at 2.5 lbs. It made a huge difference. I also put mine into a Bell & Carlson stock. Now I'm taking it hunting.
Nice! I have a Ruger American Predator 308 that I put into a Bell and Carlson stock. Very nice piece. I gotta jump on the bandwagon and get a Timney Trigger as well!
The 1st one wouldn’t shoot
@@joncox2682 Who ya taking to?
From my experience, you get an "accurate" rifle that is hard to shoot well because of the stock and trigger.
I have the same rifle. The trigger was horrendous. But before I dropped a 160 dollar timney in it, I put a 12 dollar spring kit in it and removed the blade safety.. went to a 2 lb trigger that I would stack up to most custom triggers. Dinging a 6" gong regularly at 600. It's a ridiculously good rifle.
Dance moves on point!!!! That Ruger is a tack driver!
BIG difference in the two rifles. Kudos to Ruger for making it right!!!
I have watched your video over the past years, and I have found them very good. Ruger American has regained its reputation from your past video. Thanks!
Appreciate you watching
I just got am email from our Ruger importer in Australia saying this and the standard stock Ruger Americans are back in stock. I am after a 308 and will likely just go the standard black stock vortex package as it seems to most reliable. Glad to hear your return was a relative simple process as it can be a hassle here in Australia as we are so far away from the rest of the world not to mention convincing a gun shop a gun does not shoot straight is always a hassle. You defiantly got a unique groove going on at the end 😉
Where are all the “experts” who chimed in when the first gun wouldn’t group? Great to see another Ruger American punching way above its price point
I hate TH-cam morons that try to say "its you bro lol.". Just watch your past videos, you are NOT a bad marksman. That gun was jacked up. Trying to blame the can? Seriously? I'm glad you got it sorted. Nothing just punches you in the stomach than a bad investment, be it a car or rifle. Good to see you happy again.
Hundreds of "experts" all day every day telling me I am a dumby 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Outstanding, WTW! It’s great when the plan comes together, even if it took an extra couple of steps. Ruger does a very good job with customer service, and they hit a home run for affordable accuracy with the American line.
They definitely was a problem with the other gun. That’s a rap with the 7PRC. 👍 you have a keeper now. 👌
Who tee who getting his groove on! Oh yea.
Love it when a plan comes together.
Those Ruger’s sure are good shooters.
Looks like you found relief in this new Ruger American, just bought one in 308 predator compact with the same lights out grouping
Thank you for your honesty. I think you showed all the non believers that what you were saying was really the truth. Awesome guy I'm glad you were persistent and strong in believing in yourself. I'm glad it worked out for you . Keep doing what you are doing. More of us need to be just like you. I appreciate what you do and I will continue to watch and support you and your channel. Thank you and keep doing what you do.
Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate you watching
You are welcome.
This situation goes to prove the point that not all rifles are the same. You could get any brand, any model and shoot enough of them and you will find some shoot good, others not so much.
Any one who doubts this hasn't done such testing. Buy as many as WTW has then you will find out.
Really glad it worked out for you! I know the first one was disappointing. I thought that was John Travolta for a minute!
Thank You for the update and showing us what it will do after being fixed. Glad to see it.
Thank you for the update. I just join you on patreon. Because of your budget review and this set of 7 prc videos both are great and very informative.
Thanks so much. Appreciate you watching bigtime. Let me know if you have ideas for videos
Ya ,gotta love it when a plan comes together !
If it won't shoot under 1", I would try handloads. There are just not enough factory boolots yet. I am NOT an ELD-X or M fan. Berger or Barnes are my preference. Berger to grenade, Barnes to punch through
I have had better luck with Hornady interlock bullets and Hornady OTMs than any of the ELDs.
I think the Barnes LRX are great, they seem to out group the ELD pair, I’ve never tried Sierra or Berger but I want to try Berger so bad.
I have tried Hornady Precision Hunter in a lot of different brands of rifle and cartridges. It's the most accurate factory ammo I've tried.
@TexanUSMC8089 Hornady makes great stuff. I just don't like the ELD-X. It is an SST, but more frangible. Plus, they moved the Interlock ring forward, where it is less effective at preventing cup/core separation.
Honestly you have to be kidding. There is a shortage of reloading components for a 7mm PRC. It's hard enough getting components for a 6.5 PRC. Have fun trying to get good large rifle primers or even brass. I reload for many calibers and it's not easy getting the components you want to reload. Eld X bullets have a good reputation, and they are the easiest to find as well as the Hornady Match. Hornady factory ammo is a good way to go early in the game. Reloading for it is certainly a thing to do once you have the right components.
Great follow up video! Would like to see it up against 7 Mag - the works - clay blocks and accuracy at distance, 1,000 yard test…etc. Howdy from Texas BTW.
Thanks for watching. Howdy!
Awesome! Glad everything turned out great! Ya got a winner there WTW!
Glad they sent you back a winner and lmao at the dancing 🕺
Im glad it made you happy enough to dance! It will be a fine rifle setup.
Delighted your new Rifle is a Real Shooter ! Go and Enjoy it !!
For more ammo options Weatherby has started a new non-Weatherby cartridge line that's available right now direct from Weatherby online that covers the Nosler cartridges and the Hornady PRC cartridges loading Sirocco and Hammer Bullets under the Weatherby brand to give Nosler and PRC owners more options
Weatherby is only a name. If you only knew the Weatherby Story. He had prototypes made and sold the guns before going into production. It worked but basically, he was selling what was not available from the back seat of his car in the beginning. He did get enough people to order the guns to start manufacturing and people that wanting high performance speedy bullets went all in. They have always been subcontracted out to foreign manufacturers usually renowned rifle makers. But they are truly overrated. Faster is not always better. Newer cartridges designed for accuracy at long range are much better than the Weatherby design. Akley Improved have always been better. That is where all these new cartridges are based on shoulder design in the first place. Also making cartridges fatter to fit in short action rifles for other reasons.
Awesome groups man. You got a shooter there for sure. Even in the wind. Well done. I am looking at getting a 7mm PRC this helps.
Expect to have to buy factory ammo for a while. It isn't readily available. I still am playing with a 6.5 PRC which had a lot of shortages in components and availability of ammo in the start. I may not have purchased that 6.5 PRC if I would have known they would make a 7mm. But I do have a 6.5 Creedmoor that shares some of the same components to reload for. The wind at 100 yards shooting fast bullets with adequate weight are not affected much at all. 7mm is perhaps my favorite bullet diameter. I have a 7mm STW and a 7mm/08. I have had a 7mm Rem Mag as well.
Stopped for the groups. Stayed for the dance moves:)
😆😆😆
Glad this worked out so well for you!
THAT is a keeper, whotee...well done!!!👌
Thanks for the update, glad to see the results. Love the dance!!!!!!
Thanks for watching
My .308 loves the eld-x bullets. They group the best out of all the ammo i tried. I would like to add the 7prc and 35 Whelen to my collection. Nice content, and I'm glad you got a shooter!
You've got yourself a shooter there, buddy. Congrats.
It puts em in there for sure!
Outstanding! What a come back. Ruger FTW.
A replacement is not a comeback. Good customer service and a happy customer. Ruget does have good customer service. Savage does too BTW.
@garrytalley8009 sure bud
So I think a few people from the first video on it owe you an apology.. as we knew I was the gun and not you! Great videos as always
Luv the 7mm PRC Excellent Round , Great Video 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
You’ve got yourself a winner there Adam 👍👍
Thank you for the update! Glad to see you have a shooter. I really have been enjoying your video's WHO_TEE_WHO
Thanks for watching
So happy to see that your replacement Ruger GW 7 PRC is a shooter. What a relief 😅.
I recently moved to Ohio and I am actually thinking 🤔 about selling my Savage M110 LR Hunter in 300 WSM to get a Henry in 360 BH or the AW model in 45-70. Then down the road get this or another Savage as a replacement for the 300 WSM and compliment for out west to my .270 Win.
I think that you should really think hard before selling a rifle to buy another. I have had many guns and done the same only to regret it. It would be best to buy your preferred gun for replacement before selling the other if it were a replacement. That way you would know whether it suited you or not. I have done gun trades or sales in the past I just wish I would just have kept what I had. It's not a bad idea getting rid of a gun you do not want because it is not up to your expectations. But selling only to replace at another date you could end up worse off.
@@garrytalley8009 that’s a pretty good point. I would hate to sell a decent shooting rifle for one like the previous Ruger GW 7PRC that Adam “Who Tee Who” got and be totally bummed out. I am not sure if I want to stay with a 300 WSM just in a different rifle since I have the reloading dies, etc for it or wipe the slate clean and go with a value based 7 PRC like this one or a Mossberg or Savage?
I don’t have the money 💵 now for a lever gun that would be legal in Ohio, that’s why I was thinking about selling my current rifle (since I still own my long time 270 Win). But I probably won’t be hunting Ohio this season and just wait until next year when I can pay resident prices.
Thanks for the advice
I was shooting a lot a couple years ago helping a friend learn to shoot to 1500 yards and learn to reload. I used a battery powered air mattress pump to cool my rifle between shooting. Just nipped the end off, put in reciever. Im still shooting the same stock Savage fcp m10 in 308 barrel. Of course longevity is great with 308 Win. I do run my loads hot though! My shooting partner did not use the, "redneck cooler". His barrel had a lot of fire cracking inside but to be fair it was a 300 Win Mag. I used the air mattress pump because I had it laying around. The battery power made it easy when power wasn't available. They do sell something similar made for this purpose.
Awesome I was at The Range yesterday Doing some practice for my DEER 🦌 coming up in about 13 days
It’s the first two shot that counts on game, nice
Feels good to get a rifle all nice and dialed in!
Congrats! I really want a 7 mm PRC. Could not find one. Went Weatherby 6.5 300 and touching all 3 130gr Scirocco at 100 yards. Next gun will be the Fierce 7 PRC. just gotta have it! Great video!
Very exciting! I can't wait to see some long range stuff with that, and definitely a clay block!🇺🇲✝️🇺🇲
John 3:17
Awesome buddy great shootin and great video good luck this deer season 👍
This is the rifle I'm probably gonna buy in a month or two.
Shenandoah shooter*have a new go wild in 3006 haven't shot yet Glad to see it come on line!
Very very nice groups. I like everything about it. Nice dancing wtw! 😂 I'd be dancing too with those
Group with and with out the can . Fun to see .
Nice video. Good to see customer service is good. The better name brands do a pretty good job on customer service. I don't know about their letter on the other rifle though. It did not seem to really explain the accuracy problem. I don't buy the explanation they gave you. But they saved face with your new replacement rifle. They were pretty bad implying that the accuracy was anywhere near acceptable. They don't want anyone thinking they are guaranteed to shoot groups as well as the ones you shoot on your videos. That is understandable they would have everyone returning them that couldn't shoot groups like that. I do enjoy your videos, even the dance also the old Lead Sled. Good shooting.
Well done mate, glad to see it worked out for you. Pretty handy groups in the wind too, although that boolot probably didn't spend a lot of time in it.😂
nice. got to be happy with those results without having to reload to get them.
You have winner now, the new barrel/rifle really made a deer slayer now.
That rifle will slay anything on the North American Continent and more.
Very cool. I am glad the go wild 7mm PRC redeemed itself. Now we need to see an Elk hunt.
That would be cool
Glad the new gun worked. I was nervous. I like those Ruger Americans.
I love it!
Good deal! It’s a keeper I think
My Fierce Carbon Rogue in 7prc likes the Hornady Precision Hunter in the 175 ELDX, and groups better than .5moa. Like yours the Fierce didn't like the 180 gr Match as well as the ELDX, and I also tried the Hornady Outfitter 160gr CX which did about as well as the Match.
Get down like James Brown!! That's a nice rig!! 👌
That’s good to see man, good deal.
It will be interesting to see if the 7mm PRC catches on. It was introduced late 2022 by Hornady and so far they are the only ones who load ammo for it. The Match, Outfitter (CX bullet) and Precision Hunter (ELDX bullet 🤮) and no other ammo co. has so far moved on it. Browning now has their X Bolt in 7 Rem Mag with a 1 in 8” twist. Same as the PRC. So I would not be surprised if other rifle companies start put faster twists on newer rifles.
Federal, Remington and Weatherby are all producing 7 PRC ammo currently.
@@chriscirillo352 is that right? Haven’t seen any out here in western Canada but good to know.
You are correct. I just looked on the Federal website and they are listing 2 loads 175gr ELDX but also in the outstanding 155gr Terminal Ascent.
That Federal Terminal Ascent load is the one I've been waiting for as well. I'm not a big fan of Hornady ammo and typically use Federal, so I've been holding out for more options before jumping on the 7PRC. I'm sure Winchester and Barnes will probably have some options for it as well before too long.
@@chriscirillo352 I’ve been hunting now for over 50yrs and in that time I’ve used all kinds of ammo. But I can say the Terminal Ascent is one the one that I use the most now in my 270 and 7 Rem
I think all the PRC calibers with do well. They are well thought out. The 7mm Mag as the 300 Win Mag have issues with the belted case as well as the length of the case as well as the shoulder of the case. Cases are weak at the belt and will not reload as many times as unbelted. The belts were never necessary in the first place. The cases being shorter and fatter as well as the improved shoulder angle make the powder burn more effectively. And of course, the twist rate makes it easy to load a high BC longer and or heavier bullet. All wins, win-win-win. The only downside is availability of components in the startup. But it will eventually rise to the occasion. I would purchase one of these 7mm PRC's, but I have more guns than a man needs already. I can't keep up with all that I have. Too many are just catching dust.
👍😊🎯 that will work for whatever you want to take care of.
Good to see!! Leaning towards this in a 308 for my 14 year old daughter
Even a 308 is a bit stiff for a 14-year-old. But if she's a shooter and has shot one and good with it. If not maybe a 6.5 Creedmoor would be better. I would not want to get someone started with too much recoil. They develop a flinch and may never get over it. Of course, muzzle brakes make a difference on recoil as well. Hope your daughter loves and enjoys hunting. We never can get enough outdoors people to support hunting. Too many people oppose hunting.
@@garrytalley8009 she’s been on my 308 target practicing since she was 11. She does well. May look into hand loading 130-150 grains and see if they have less recoil than the 165-180s I use.
Grate group looks like ruger sent you a great rifle pretty cool 😎 👌
must have been a flaw in barrel glad for you to get it right
The pattern on the stock opposite your cheek looks like a cabbage patch doll.😂
It’s grouping good . I bought a cz 204 some years ago . I tried three or four different ammo brands. It would not group. My friend loaded be some . I get same hole groups after that .
It seems to group fairly well ! Very nice @
As always, great content!!!
Interesting to know what exactly savage found. I am having similar problems with my 7prc go wild. They said "dent" but idk... Thanks for the video!
About damn time! 😂 thank you Who 😂
Something was going on with the first gun glad it worked out just bought a browning x bolt in 7prc curious to see it on a deer this yr
Much better than the first riffle. Its a killer
The target is moving slightly with the wind could of possibly been even tighter lol
New ideas for that. Now that the 100 yard is solid, try some longer distances. Or even hunt with it, though I know you prefer the 7 RM for hunting.
WTW, dancin a jiggg at the end 😂😂
😆😆😆
Im proud of you, you’re not using another AR scope mount…
Use what I have 🤷♂️
Glad you got a good one man
Thanks for sharing another great review 👍
Looks like you had some bad tooling on the first rifle. I have two Ruger Americans. Both shoot great. Sub moa. Best hunting rifle for the money.
Thank you.
Real Men,Hoo-T Can control the Weather !! ;-)
I was waiting for the remix of the git up!
I have the same rifle, I use Federal Premium ELD-X. seem to have better luck grouping with that.
That was worth the wait nice moves😂😂😂
😆😆😆
Looked good. See what it does without the can.
Thank you 😊
Very good grouping. How about a clay block test or water jugs. 🙂
Beautiful grouping
It was worth staying for the dancing 😂😂😂
😆😆😆
I measured each 7prc load to the ojive and the eldx was 3.555" the eldm was 3.513"by my ancient Sinclair comparator.
look for a battery powered inflatable pump, hook a rubber hose to it and stick the hose in the chamber and "inflate" the barrel. the air flow will cool the barrel nicely. Now I have to see if they make one of these in left hand... I'm not sure....
Is the new Gen 2 going to only be available in a 20” barrel instead of the 24”
May the problem was that first time the rifle was shoot from bipod and now from shooting rest ?
Beautiful grouping.
Deer season almost here in MS , when you coming ?
Can you put 30 06 bullets into that 7prc magazine????? I know it's a weird question but I found a chassis that takes 7prc mag but my go wild is in 30 06 sooooo if the bullet fits 7prc mag it might just work right. U can test it by seeing if 30 06 bullets fit 7prc mag.
glad to see, since mine is in the mail. Hoping I don't get a lemon.
Sweeeeet
Heck of a grouping!
WTW, pretty amazing when one finds out your bullseye is "only" 3/4 of an inch, because it looks much larger. Just wondering if you have done testing with carbon fiber wrapped barrels ??
You really need to consider getting into reloading.
Did you think Ruger would send you a rifle that they didn't test first to make sure it shot well?
I agree! Surely Ruger gave him a hand picked shooter.
Intelligent
FYI Many of the rifles sold today shoot that well. And rifle manufacturers replace things when there is something wrong sometimes when it's the owners' fault with a small fee in those instances. I had a friend that received a new rifle with an oversize bore and the company installed a new barrel. I had another friend that forgot to take his bore sighter out of his barrel and put a hell of a bulge in the barrel. Remington repaired it at only $200 that could not have been much more than cost. I own a lot of inexpensive rifles that shoot much better than you would think and have even outshot many I purchased for a hefty price. I am sure they test fired and grouped the rifle before sending and gave it a good look over. You would not want to do any less on a replacement rifle.
I work at the Ruger facility in Mayodan North Carolina where are all the Ruger Americans all the Marlins lcps & 22 precision every gun is tested for a spec group before it's ever however occasionally one might slip through that's not inspect.
Also we have the best customer service in the busines!! Don't matter if you avg Joe or Joe Rogan if there is a issue it will be fix and or replaced. 2000+ guns a day with a 1% return speaks for it's self
