im sorry, i didnt mean to sound as if the rifle was going to shoot 300 sub moa or anything outrageous.

i was basically trying to state the rifle is ready to take to the range to shoot out of the box. meaning you can take it to the range and get it on paper at least , as it comes with a scope already, were on the american you'd have to wait to shoot till you purchased a scope.

the other problem i forgot, till i called up my friend, was that both the american and the axis have a recoil nut built into the stock, and due to this, they have yet to make alternative stocks from 3rd party companies to my knowledge.

-paint. sorry again, i was talking about the matt black of the ruger american barrel, my buddy keeps it in a case , but after taking it out weve noticed it had some nice scratches that showed silver. so its not a durable, covering on the metal , against scratches
