That's the popular gun lately, isn't it?Technically it was yesterday that I bought it and it has yet to ship, but I bought this:
Ruger® Ruger American Rifle® Ranch Bolt-Action Rifle Model 26965
The Ranch model or just the American line in general? Ruger has come out with some home runs recently. I've wanted one of these since they came out. I like the idea of having a bolt gun that takes 223/5.56 and comes in a 16" bbl. I held off because of Ruger's proprietary mag hoping that they'd wise up and offer a model that accepts AR mags. The Mossberg MVP never really did it for me with the exception that they offer the Patrol model with iron sights (something Ruger still lacks). I'm going to have to figure out a way to add a front sight post myself. I'll hold out a while for something before going to a Smith to have one installed. Now I have to figure out how to sneak this guy into the safe and into circulation without upsetting the GF. I'm probably going to sell my coach gun to ease the blow ( I hardly use it anyway).That's the popular gun lately, isn't it?
New ears, the last pair lasted me 7/8 years!

Obviously you know this already , but man those Howard Leight Impact Sport models are such a good product for the relatively cheap price. I sound like I'm advertising here, but really these days how often do you feel like anything you buy seems like it maybe should/could have easily been more expensive for the quality you get ? I have 2 pair of them myself, but I just noticed on Amazon if you're willing to go with "traditionally women's colors" (the pink or purple) you can get them for a complete steal. The purple ones were something like $30 right now

Just ordered all the remaining parts required to put two .224 Valkyrie uppers together. My Remington should be done Monday.
The .224 uppers are for a friend. He had been reading about the cartridge, asked me about the Valkyrie I built and asked me to build him a couple of uppers. He intends to shoot coyotes with the Valkyrie.I can't wait to see your write up between that and your 6.5 caliber guns. I'm always leery on new caliber trends but I have a feeling I will be making a hunting caliber AR in the near future.
