You couldn't go wrong with either but I don't think you can beat Ruger's customer service if you ever need it & I love my Ruger American's

More then there should be pack weighs more then me

Yup gotta be the mango! Now I just have to try & get my youngest daughter away from some of her after school activities & get her out with her bow

LOL it was raspberry - mango - apricot

thank You & sorry it was long winded. Funny I haven't been stung in 20 years now 3X in one year & 1st time ever at night

take a look at the Ruger American predator or ranch model to me this is a brush gun cheap, short, light, accurate smooth & easily worked bolt only drawback in looking for a brush gun is these do not have iron sights

Little to warm but temps dropping now but does feel good to be out & seeing deer Oh yeah & connecting with the bad winter we had it looks like most survived at least on the property I am currently hunting in 4 sits I have seen 25 deer & buddy with one sit saw 4 not one buck but that for some reason is common for this property never a lot of buck sign

1st tag filled for NH took a doe Sat evening was a tough track hit her at 7:00PM legal shooting was till 7:30 she ducked & turned just enough as I released so I let her go for an hour then went to look at the area I shot her at. it took 20 minutes to find my arrow or what was left of it only about last 6" were left even with the blue nocturnal (have to say the blue is the brightest color I have used). got a buddy to come up & help track due to only small amount of blood & did not look like fatal blood was extremely slow going & I was getting discouraged were were on hands & knees searching it was very thick undergrowth do to recent logging just a drop here & there. until my buddy noticed a good spray of blood & said it looks bubbly sure enough looks like lung hit I was feeling better till I went to mark that blood spot it is pitch dark & shined the light & the ground was moving I yelled bees yup both got stung she ran right though a ground nest we ran a bit to get away from the nest & nock off the remaining bees we had on us. Funny now wasn't then because as I was running I turned to look at my buddy & he his flailing like no tomorrow he had a bee stinging him in his back but was behind his backpack & he got a Charley horse in his leg he didn't know which to take care of first. well after we calmed down we realized we never got a chance to mark the last blood & neither of us were going back to find it so we did a zig zag to try & pick up the blood trail was fairly easy as it got to be big frothy pools I could see where she stumbled & buddy panned the area with his flashlight & found her all in all she did not go a 100 yards it end up being a high shoulder hit took one lung, liver & through the stomach my broadhead tip was just poking through the skin on the opposite side. I am very happy for recovering her as I was thinking I had only wounded her & goes to show you things can go from good to bad in a sec & vise versa even when the shot looks perfect. Now have a Buck & turkey tag to fill

congrats nothing like a new bow or gun & good Luck!

mine made my arrow fly higher on the target at least that is what I am using for an excuse for missing a Doe on tuesday Honestly I don't notice a difference in flight

Never heard that one before I do not believe it will spook deer. Animals will come across dead animals all the time

not sure if this will explain it for you http://www.excitingip.com/277/what-is-fixed-cellular-terminal-fct-and-fixed-wireless-terminal-fwt/

Always something I know what you mean

don't know how they perform in your rifle but shoot great in mine only one way to find out get out there & shoot that thing LOL!

YFKI1983 That's cheaper then I get Rugers with employee discount

looks like the little one was stung by a bee LOL that was pretty cool

No problem It is a great rifle for cheap money hope you enjoy it took my longest shot on a deer with my standard American last year 160 yards dropped a doe in her tracks Love it!!!

Nope I would have done what you did. Not worth even trying for me

I have 2) American's in .308 & total of my group we have 5 ruger Americans 3) in .308 & 2) in 30.06 we all have had really good success using Fusion ammo the .308's are running 165gr this is my new Predator version & first 2 shots after sight in @ 100 yards

well was better than expected although I missed a nice doe i guess I really did have to shake out the cobwebs I clean missed right over her at 26 yards. Despite the high heat the deer were moving good saw 8 total most were between 2:30 & 4:00 that is a lot for this area 5 Doe 2 skippers & 1 Buck

You are correct Grampy & thank you

.270 Ruger M77

Thank you really just going out to knock off the cobwebs
