I have looked at them on the shelf and questioned why Ruger is making this rifle. They can not keep up with their demand on their high end rifles and they are diverting resources to building a cheap rifle that shoots as good as their expensive ones. I will never figure that out. From a numbers game seems counterproductive. Having said that, I have heard nothing but good things about the "American." I dont think I would rely on it for a 1k rifle, but who knows?
