Each has their place. I'd put the Ruger through things I wouldn't put an anschutz through. They're just too nice. Ruger American Ranch is a decent knock-around, not heart broken if it gets dents/dings/scratches type of gun. And I don't think the ranch is offered in a rimfire.Here are the steps I took to fix my last crappy trigger from ruger A) I found a local gun show. B) I sold the rifle C) I bought an Anschutz
Have you looked on rimfire central?
I know a guy that can tune that trigger...Has anyone found a replacement trigger or reliable way to lighten the trigger on one of these rifles? I've looked at Rifle Basix and Timney, neither seem to carry anything. Factory settings are 3-5 lbs, I'd like to get it down to a pound. Thanks in advance!
Who is Q and b&t?Most definitely. Q, savage , and b&t make bolt action pistols in 300 blackout. I would buy one in a heartbeat but it would quickly grow a stock.
I asked CZ about that. It was a hard no. They're pretty happy with the popularity of their rifle lines, both .22 and centerfire, and see no need to enter a niche market.Also, I wish cz would make a pistol version of their 600 trail chambered in blackout. That would be sweet.
Not necessarily on the rifle, but if they built a bolt pistol, competition guys want a light trigger. Same action, same factory triggerCan I ask why you'd want such a light trigger on a Ruger American?
I can understand target folks wanting super light triggers...Not necessarily on the rifle, but if they built a bolt pistol, competition guys want a light trigger. Same action, same factory trigger
If there was a budget friendly option as you describe, I suspect it would be very popular.To clarify a bit, the purpose is to get a limited run of a budget friendly, rear grip bolt action handgun that would appeal to those who would like the challenge of shooting paper, critters, deer, etc, chambered in a 223 or 300 Blk, and/or serve as a basis for a custom gun.
Case in point is the Ruger Charger, a cut down 10/22 with a rear grip stock, aftermarket trigger and/or barrels/optics available, etc...
Such a gun would likely be tinkered with and a good target trigger for punching paper or prairie dogs is vital for that. Already existing are plenty of high dollar actions to build a $2500 handgun around, this is not that purpose.
My Ruger Ranch in 300 BLK readily shoots 2 moa with a factory trigger from bags, it's pretty easy to cut the barrel to 15" and put it in a Boyds stock like the Ruger Charger. But a target trigger is needed if you want to shoot small targets. A drop in trigger at 8 ounces would go a long way toward that purpose.
