Just got an e-mail from Ruger. The American Ranch bolt gun is now available in 7.62x39. Uses Mini 14 mags. Maybe Grendel next? I would post a link but I'm Internet deficient.

X39 is extremely popular in bolt guns especially for "ranch" style rifles. Paves the way for the Grendel in a "predator" style Ruger American rifle.

It's okay. Ruger simply needs to make me a No. 1 red pad in 6-point-Grendel goodness. Id be on that like stink on weed. Even if it's one shot one chance. Still, it would be the perfect little woods gun - with class!Nothing kills the incentive of men faster than a healthy sense of entitlement. Nothing kills entitlement faster than a healthy sense of achievement.

I think 6.5 grendel eventually. I think,part of the reason we havent seen a ruger 6.5 grendel mini is the mag problem they dont want to spend the money to make a mag just for the grendel and have another mini 14 6.8 doc situation but if they do they can release in mini and American at once

I got the CZ 527 in 6.5 Grendel. The magazine is marked 7.62x39/6.5 Gren. I wanted some extra magazines and all that is listed is the 7.62 so picked up a couple of those. They load and feed 6.5 Grendel cartridges perfectly.
This rifle would be a perfect woods rifle if the barrel was a bit shorter. It comes standard with a 24" barrel, which I like. It would be better if the barrel were cut back to about 20" for poking around in the woods. I tend to like longer barrels so no way I will be cutting mine.
As much as I like the cartridge and the Ruger #1, I just cannot see getting a Ruger in this caliber. I already have a pretty little 1a in 7x57 and while it is a bit more powerful, is close enough for my purposes.Member before 2010, account deleted per 2011 spam attack

You know, I was never an AR guy - until I was one, then it's been balls forward gogogo. But lately, more and more I've been missing the feel and beauty of nicely finished American Walnut and deeply blued steel. My Ruger 1 in .270 is the one gun that I always pick up first and think "Damn, this things nice. I need to go shoot it again." Then, out comes the AR and 500 rounds and I leave the No 1 in the safe. I'm not sure if I'll ever find reason to actually leave the house with it again. Maybe when I'm older and more mature...
I wonder what an all blued steel, wood furniture AR would weigh?Nothing kills the incentive of men faster than a healthy sense of entitlement. Nothing kills entitlement faster than a healthy sense of achievement.

I'll go so far as to say that if Ruger would go all in on the Grendel, and chamber a Ranch Bolt gun, a Mini 14 and a #1 all in the Grendel caliber the company could target a large customer group. People who valued pretty wood, blue steal and a traditional rifle hunting over a black rifle would look harder at the Grendel.
