My 14 year old daughter decided she wants to deer hunt year so I picked up a new Ruger American Compact in .243. Fit and finish are a little rough, but realistically in a $350 rifle it's all about function and it passes in that department.
The trigger is decent (like an accutrigger) and breaks clean. The recoil pad is also fairly decent. It's not a limbsaver but is pretty nice. Rounds fed, extracted and ejected just like they should and the best part is it definitely shoots.
I only had factory ammo with me today breaking it in, and here's a 3 shot group once i got everything sighted in. This is 100gr Remington Corelokt at 100 yds.
