Ruger American series just came out with a model in 22-250. I am a huge fan of Savage rifles. It looks like for around the same price, I would get alot more for my money with the Ruger American than a Savage Axis for a econimical rifle. Does anyone have any info or experience on the Ruger Americans to sell me which one I really should buy?

officerdom1987 I have never had a like in savage I don't know why maybe because the price tag is so low always it kind of scares me . now when I was up at cabelas getting my mosin nagant obviously I was holding all the used rifles. I saw a ruger American series (I think it was a 30-06)and the first thing I noticed was how light it was . maybe it seemed that light because of just holding a 9 pound gun but the ergonomics of it were ok I didn't really like the inserts I felt as if they were different but I wasn't wearing gloves or anything. but maybe if I were it would have felt better. don't get me wrong they weren't bad but they weren't the best I've held. but for function wise I have never hered anything bad and I have heard they are one of the best beginner rifles but I wouldn't mind taking it into the mountains. now correct me if im wrong but I thought I read some where that it has dual cocking cams. it also has a bedded stock which they call "power bedding." it apparently makes the barrel free floated. it has a rotary plastic magazine pretty close to the browning x-bolt magazine. it also has one of my favorite safeties. it is the top tang safety like on the browning a-bolt and x-bolt kind of like the Mossberg shotgun safeties too. but lastly on of my favorite things is that it has a trigger like the savage accutrigger.

Blake that was an excellent review of the American. Your last sentence is really pushing me towards it because of the trigger system like the accutrigger. I wish the axis could be upgraded to an accutrigger because then I would purchase it. Very well written though. Thank you.
@DSM: I hear ya on looking for a Savage for a little more money with the accutrigger, problem is I have some expenses to worry about such as a wedding to pay for and economical way is the best way to support my firearm purchasing addiction. Gotta stay outta the doghouse while I still can!
