First off Buds guns has the market cornered on variety as well as customer service. Delivery is immediate and appreciated for that matter. Now about the rifle, the rifle is heavy but I knew that no surprise there. It's a Ruger so that speaks for itself. The color was an off color, deviation from the classics of FDE and black. The color I found to be refreshing as it wasn't the quintessential color. Ruger tried test and true and the same of Buds guns.

The Ruger American 308 bolt action rifle is really a good long range rifle, especially the magpul model with the heavy barrel that I purchased from Buds.

Honestly one of the best rifles I've ever put to work. A bit on the heavy side, so expect that. Beyond that though, zero complaints. Highly recommend.

A great rifle for the range. A bit on the heavy side because of the heavy barrel. Functions great, shoots a 1 1/2" MOA at 200 yards using hornady 308. Bolt is starting to smooth out some. Love the magpul stock. Recommend

I love this gun!! It's heavy for sure. But it does not move when it's shot with a bipod attached. Very accurate. Love Ruger! The accutrigger is a must. Magpul stock is awesome.

This rifle is exactly what I was looking for. The trigger feels smooth (I adjusted it down a bit for the pull strength) and the stock feels really solid. Overall this rifle is a great value, and Buds shipped it out really fast. Extremely happy with the purchase.
