Decided, with everything going on it would be smart to have bolt actions in the calibers I have. So, was meeting a guy at my local BassPro yesterday on some x39 HP and went in to look around after we got done.
I have been looking for matching Ruger American Ranch rifles in 5.56 and 7.62x39, but have only seen them online and at a minimum of $650 +. I ended up talking to a supervisor and asked if could check the tags on the ones on the rack for me. They were 1-6.5 Creedmoor and 2-.308 Americans. Then I thought to ask if he had anything in back so he kindly went to look. Came out with a 5.56NATO and said it was the last one.
So, obviously I said 'I'll take it'. $490 OTD after tax. Still need to find a scope and an muzzle device for it, but at least I am 1 down and 1 to go. Well, I may go back and get the .308 as well. We'll see, LOL.
Oh, and I also picked up this other thing with that HP ammo I mentioned.
