Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel - StoneHendge - 01-03-2018

Armadillo66 Wrote:I really am curious if we will see a Scout Rifle configuration, seems like it should be easy enough for Ruger to make those in 6.5 Grendel, if they come out with a version of the Mini 30 in 6.5 Grendel that can use AR mags that would be slick

It just makes so much sense. Grendel would take full advantage of the concept with a lot less recoil than 308. Proprietary mags would be fine as long as they let us load 130s nice and long. They obviously recently did the Cream S’more Scout because it’s all the rage, but the only advantage your going to get with the S’more at 2-7x scout scope ranges is a tad less recoil. My 308 can’t do much better than MOA, but 5 shot groups are MOA and 10 shot groups are MOA.

I think they're just using a P-mag for the marketing photo, and the marketing people don't yet realize the P-mag doesn't really allow Grendel usage.

Yeah it's the same pic for the 204 and I assume all the other small calibers they are coming out with using ar mags. The bigger calibers are listed as using ai mags.

Ruger is getting so much of my money this year.

Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel - grayfox - 01-03-2018

Now all I need to do is find out when Boyds will make their stocks for this one. If they come out with the AT-1 that fits this bad boy, my grendel family might just grow by one more.......

Mine too. I'm waiting for the PC Carbine in 45 ACP.

Thanks, Dinny

Check their website. I'm pretty sure the AT-ONE and several other of their variations are all available for the RARR. Fitment kinda depends on the mag well.

Thanks, Dinny

I decked out a 300BLK RARR last year. It had a Matthew's kydex adjustable cheek riser, a Glades Tactical bolt handle and knob, and an A2 style flash hider. They were all easily assembled at home and required no gunsmithing.

Thanks, Dinny

I suspect we will have the same issue as I do with my 7.62x39 ruger american... the DBM magazine system is an integral part of the OEM stock and non removable so until someone makes a replacement we will be out of luck.

O. Well. I'll keep watching and see what develops. If you're right that's kind of a strike against it imo. Those plastic skinny stocks don't hold up under a bipod very well.

Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel - Niles Coyote - 01-03-2018

Maybe someone will come to the rescue and make use a DBM or even a chassis, if so it should work for both the grendel and 7.62x39, I'd just have to use AR mags rather than mini-30's. I'm pretty happy with my 7.62x39, it will shoot milsurp into 1.5-2.5 groups and my hand loads are hovering around .6-.7 moa.

Modular Driven Technologies, are you out there?

Side note, I'd bet Ruger will also have a .224 Valkyrie soon, perfect time to begin development if any one is listening.

CDI makes bottom metal for Ruger American rifles with either factory stocks or Boyds.

Thanks, Dinny

Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel - CupOfJoe90 - 01-03-2018

Seems Ruger got a lot of things right. If the bottom metal is detachable from the stock and can be inlet into a new stock, it'll be a home run. Kind of makes me regret ordering my Howa now.... AR or AICS Mags is a HUGE benefit in my book.

Yeah, likewise. Might get the 9mm too though since I'm picking up a Security 9 anyway.

Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel - jkingrph - 01-04-2018

Put a nice wood stock, steel trigger guard, and a shorter, or better still flush magazine, and finally remove the rail on top and I might think about one. For the time being I will stick with my CZ 527 American

Niles Coyote Wrote:Modular Driven Technologies, are you out there?

I checked and MDT already has a chassis for the Ruger American. Don't know if the dimensions of the Ruger American Predator (RAP) 65G are the same.

Of all the chassis out there, I think the MDTs look the coolest. I'm not mounting night vision or laser designator so I neither need nor want a top rail over the barrel of a bolt gun.

I just went to Ruger website looking for a release date ,but found nothing. Does anyone have any inside info, or is there a certain time of year new models are released like with the automotive industry? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I googled Ruger 26922 and a few websites show the rifle but don't have any in stock. I would expect them fairly quickly.
