I ordered one today that will replace my Savage 340 in 222 as my coyote rifle. With more urbanites from Kalipornia moving in around my desert oasis the dogs are getting skittish. I figured I needed 100 yards or so more practical range from a coyote gun now. I have a Burris FFII 4.5-14 sitting around I took off a sold 6.5-300 Wby that needs somewhere to land, so it's going onto the 22-250.
I am wondering if there are any Ruger American tricks to make good-shooting rifles even better? How about aftermarket stocks to replace the awful stock stock?
These were my coyote guns. I'll still use the Valmet BBF in 12ga/222 with the 2.5-8 VariX III on it for close in shooting with BB or #4 Buck in the 12ga barrel; the 222 barrel shoots well with 52gr or smaller bullets.
I think I'll sell the 340 Savage, and it comes with two magazines. The old Weaver K4 scope will come off and stay here. It had been on my dad's Mdl 70 '06 for most of my life.
Savage 340 being replaced with the Ruger:
Valmet 12/222: (Had a 2.75 Redfield on it once)
I gave this same model Valmet to a good friend in OK who uses it as a pig and coyote gun.
