Love the new look of these! Anyone else going to try out one of these bad boys?

I don't think it's stainless steel. I believe it's a cerakote finish.

Yes correction. Jumped the gun there. It is Cerakote

Yes, I just ordered one from Palmetto state armory online, hope it arrives soon! Will post a review once I get it and try it out.

i got the ranch version with the 16” barrel, very lightweight, I’m planning to put a lightweight fixed power scope on it, should be great for carrying while hiking up and down the mountains of Nevada where I hunt.

It is still better than the old rough finish that said - "I have no pride in my rifles."

I kept trying to buy an American (I like Ruger as a company) because I knew it would shoot accurately. I kept walking away b/c it would have cost to much to upgrade it to what I would want. Essentially, I felt they were offering a base model Honda Accord and the EX version.

If the new stock is not a complete POS, I think Ruger just changed the rifle market again. The Gen 2 version has a compelling feature set.

My only concerns:
1) is the stock stiff enough?
2) will the magazine feed properly and/or will it rattle.

New Ruger American Gen II

Don't know if its been posted. But Ruger has updated the ol' American rifle. Looks fancy, hopefully shoots as good as the old ones. I know they get a lot of hate, but I have 4 of them in various calibers and man if they aren't accurate as hell. All of mine shoot sub-MOA easily, usually half...
