Default Re: budget .308

I just watched an episode of Gun Talk TV that I had Tivo'd last week, CH 604 on Direct TV, the episode is titled "Long Range Hunting", but mostly it was featuring the Riger American, with a bunch of gun rag writer's/reviewer's etc,

I have to say that regardless of the price, it looks like they built pretty much everything into the gun to make it accurate, nothing for the shooter to add/modify to improve accuracy, also a user adjustable 3-5 lb trigger, the general concensus was that is was an above average accurate rifle out of the box,

I know the shows intent was to promote a sponsor's(Ruger)product, but it seemed to shoot very well and needs no improvements, I prefer wood furniture, other than that, I would buy one, at about $400, seems like a bargain,

If you have the PRST, "Pursuit" channel and the ability to record/TIVO, look for the next replay of it and record it, or have a friend with DirecTV do it for you,
