Description
Product Overview
The Ruger American Hunter is a precision-focused bolt action rifle designed for dependable field performance and practical long-range accuracy. Its 20-inch heavy-contour barrel is threaded 5/8x24 and fitted with a Ruger Precision Rifle Hybrid Muzzle Brake to help manage recoil. The three-lug bolt uses a 70-degree lift, full-diameter bolt body, and dual cocking cams for smooth cycling with generous scope clearance. A gray Magpul Hunter American short-action stock provides adjustable length of pull and comb height, while the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger allows the shooter to tune the trigger pull. A factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope base supports a wide range of optic setups, and the rifle includes one five-round Magpul PMAG5 7.62 AC magazine.

Excelent trigger,...
Excelent trigger, weight and presicion.. But when I attempt to chamber a new round using the bolt, the cartridge frequently gets stuck and does not feed properly. I often have to try multiple times before the round finally chambers. Upon closer observation, it appears that the bullet tip is not aligning correctly with the feed ramp. Instead of smoothly riding up the ramp into the chamber, the tip is striking an area of the chamber face outside of the intended feed ramp. This results in inconsistent and unreliable feeding, which is concerning for a new firearm.

Buds did a great job...
Buds did a great job as usual, but this Ruger has some feeding issues with two of the three ammo brands that I shot. The Remington Core-Lokt, 140 Grain and Winchester Power Point, 129 grain would not feed at all. It seems like the bullets are getting stuck on the feeding ramp. The Hornady American Whitetail, 129 Grain Hornady Interlock Jacketed Soft Point feed perfectly. Ruger is sending me one of their magazines to try in place of the Magpul. The Hornady has a sharper nose and maybe that's helping the bullets to feed. It's a shame because the gun groups beautifully.
