      Can any other Ruger owners confirm this issue, or am I just that lucky to have it?

      The extractor wont grab cases all the time and pull them. I've pulled the bolt back and the case stay in the chamber of the rifle.. Happens about 40% of the time.

        Ruger may have inadvertently installed an extractor for .473” rims (E. g., .308 Win).

        I got those same symptoms on My Savage until I installed a PPC bolt head.

          Leaning very hard at getting one of these.
          I am a Lefty (the only one in my family) but, I know my daughters would love to shoot it as well.
          Wouldn't mind getting one and maybe slapping a Magpul PRS stock on it and see what it can do at the local 1500 yard range.

              They don't make a stock for it yet but you should get it. Mine is very accurate with handloads.

                How is the Ruger American Grendel stock and different from another Ruger American stock as long as the action is either short or long?

                  md,


                  My guess is the magazine well. Ruger has done a great job in making the RAR modular. The one stock will work with many different calibers. The RAP magazine is unique in that it incorporates a AR style mag latch. A2

                    What usmc said. This stock is different than the other predators. It's got a piece that comes out at the mag well, and uses a AR15 mag release

                      I just talked to Boyds...
                      It is the mag well, they do not fit the Mini-30 (7.62x39 American rifle) or AI mag models.

                      I am sure I can mod it as I have done others before.

                        Glad you got ahold of boyds. I've been calling 2-3 times a week for 5 weeks, leaving messages and never getting calls back.

                        Did they say if or when they'd be making a stock for it?

                          Nope that actually didnt even entertain me with a timeline, they just said Not at this time.

                            Well mine will be here Saturday according to my LGS. I can't wait to see how it does with cast bullets.

                              I may pick one up tomorrow, lgs has one ruger and one howa in 6.5g in stock. Held both yesterday, going back tomorrow, tough decision.

                                No doubt... I am trying to decide the same thing between the two.
                                I do like the idea of 2 more inches of barrel and already threaded barrel on the Ruger.
