Only first-hand experience I've had with Ruger rifles has been with the 10/22. What can I say? It's a great, and accurate rifle.
I've read a lot of good things about the Ruger American.
The Ruger #1 and #3 rifles are so strong they have their own load listings in the reloading manual, much like the Ruger Red/Blackhawks.
My guess is, most Ruger products you'll find will be quality firearms.

I have owned a Ruger 77/17 and own a Ruger 10/22. IMHO they are great American made rifles that are a quality item. I believe the craftsmanship on them (for the money) are outstanding. You cannot go wrong in my opinion.
I have a m77/.308 and a 10/22. Like them both.But they are 20 yrs old. Not sure how they are now.

I just want a good every day rifle that I can either take through the woods or put a fair amount of rounds through during a range trip. I'm not looking for match accuracy, but I do need to be in the neighborhood of where I'm aiming.
I have owned several and currently own one. They have all be very well made and reliable. Straight shooters.
Wrong thread oops
Then a Ruger is the way to go. They are the best looking, handling, and feeling of the large brands and at a great price. You can't go wrong. Expect 1-1.5MOA without any work on your part.

So far so good. No one has told me to pump my brakes yet. I've been kicking around the idea of a short barreled rifle for a couple of weeks, and a few of Ruger's compact models have caught me eye.

For the money I don't know that you can do much better than the American. I have one in .223 which has been very reliable and accurate (I bought it when I had to send my Remington 700 back for recall. Now need to sell the 700.) I have an American in 7mm-08 ordered.
Ruger is good to go and I have owned several. All have shot well with great fit and finish. Got a Savage a few years ago. Fit and finish is not as nice although it will out shoot the Ruger all day.
I would be looking real hard at Savage. I dont care about looks and opt for accuracy. If you want a nicer looking gun that shoots good go with Ruger.

I've got a Ruger American in .22 magnum and am quite satisfied with it. I can't speak to the accuracy as I can't shoot well enough to hit its limits. The trigger is on par with more expensive offerings, I can say that.
I currently own a pair of security's sixes, a 70's era 22 aura pistol, a redhawk, a lcp and a 77/44 rifle. The rifle does put the first shot where it belongs, but the barrel heats up and group sizes suck. My only complaint out of the whole bunch.
No but he is an INGO member.

Ah. Thought it might be someone I knew.
I have a 10/22 I bought in the late '80's, it is still going strong and still more accurate than me. It has not been treated like a safe queen. The trigger could be better, but it is what is.
next up is a new American rimfire. Haven't put enough rounds through it yet. It is competing with my Savage MkII to see which one stays. Initial impression is it will win.
Next, is my son's Model 77 in 22 Hornet. He loves it. Every time he shoots it he is all smiles. He reminds me all of the time what a tack driver it is.
