Ruger American

I just picked up the 30-06 version. I know there must be many of you with this rifle and wonder what scopes/rings you employed and how it's working out for you.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I'm leaning toward the redfield as reviewed by gunblast.

I thought of buying one, I just can't get into the current mindset of no Iron sights on a Rifle. If Ruger made that an Option I'd have bought one in .308 already, They seem to be well made and well thought out for the price range, I just perfer BUIS on Any Rifle.

With that said, When it comes to Glass, the Sky's the Limit, I'm sure the RedField is a Good choice and I don't see where you would regret your purchase. Let us know how it shoots, They still hold my interest for some reason.

I've heard redfield is a good scope, cheaper version made by leopould.

Yea, things I've read suggest they are pretty reasonable scopes. Don't own one, however.

I have shot and recommended the new Redfield scopes. They are quite nice with Japanese glass and assembled & owned by Leupold. The Leupold Rifleman series scopes is just above them in price and quality IMO.

Congrat's on the new rifle. Dad bought one last summer in .243 and I have really enjoyed shooting it. I am not too crazy about the magazine but it shoots sub MOA.

LOL

I gave it to my son....

He put a redfield on it and since I don't hunt much anymore I can borrow it when I do!
Looking forward to shooting it.

Nice rifle , I just wish they'd make it in a lefty version and I'd totally buy one.

I bought one just last month and a Center Point 4-16x40 Scope ($70 ) . Fits the rifle just fine and works Great.I ordered 5 Mags. from Ruger.com and got them in less than 2 weeks.I have shot about 1,300 rds. so far and really like the way the rifle and the scope perform. I have been shooting from 100 yds. to about 250 yds. For an investment of only $450 I could not be more pleased!

The leupold rifleman is a great scope for the money( it is wallmarts version of the vx-1) and the Nikon pro staff is also a good quality budget scope.
