Thoughts on Ruger American
I am thinking about purchasing a Ruger American for my 1st rifle in order to hunt deer in KS.
Looking for thoughts and opinions on this rifle and the type of scope I should purchase with it. Thank you!

Its a really good affordable gun, you wont go wrong with it. Just dont buy it for a investment, as it will always be just a good ole affordable gun. I have shot them, they shoot great, you cant hurt it, will make you a great first gun. For a scope, you cant go wrong with a Busnelle Elite, very affordable and really good optics.
Good luck!

I have heard great reviews about it also. Gun companies have really been putting out good quality, affordable, accurate firearms lately. I also suggest taking a look at the Marlin X7 series or a weatherby vanguard. You should go to a gun shop and feel all them in your hands and make the decision!

Great rifle if you don't mind the ugly stock. Ruger puts out a fantastic value product.
I'd second the Bushnell Elite 3-9x40mm scope as well. The Bushnell Elite 3200 3-9x40 that my wife has on her .22lr would be my favorite scope of all time if it were only a higher magnification!
