It feels like we did this review not so long ago... because we did.
We reviewed the Ruger american Gen 2 in .308 Winchester a few months ago. not the caliber I wanted as all the rifles we review are in 6.5 Creedmoor and based off the gen 1 the Gen2 should have been very accurate. Unfortunately that was not the case. I for one have been convinced for some time that 6.5 is inherently more accurate and delivers better accuracy than .308 winchester so when i got the change to get another RTuger american Gen2 in 6.5 I took the opportunity. and the results that I found furthered my conviction that some calibers have a better chance at being more accurate. not that .308 winchester is not accurate but the % of different amunition that grouped well significantly increased with the 6.5 creedmoor.
here is our full review on the Ruger american Gen2 in .308 winchester:
• Ruger American Gen2 Review
In this video we review the Ruger American Gen2 one of the most hyped popular rifles of 2024, esthetically this definitely takes home the beauty pageant. But how does it perform? Mediocre, yeah very mediocre.
As a quick comparison from the Gen1 to this Gen2. the Gen1 was an excellent rifle, many would say it didn't need a revision and now for 100 of your currency more than the gen1 you get the Gen2 in all its glory. what does that mean?
the main differences are:
-Spiral fluted barrel (as opposed to medium profile)
-Cold hammer forged as opposed to button rifled
-Radial muzzle brake (as opposed to none)
-Cera-coated action, barrel and muzzle break as opposed to a blued action (ill have to double check that one)
-stock now has replaceable comb height, and changeable length of pull
-texturing on the stock
Ruger clearly invested big on these changes and its definitely worth the extra cost.
