Re: Ruger American 22 RF?

I have the american .22LR. I've observed a trend of Ruger baskets, however after really reading their complete comments it become discernible they are the problem, not the rifle.

Re: What rifle?

Rick,

Thanks for the date check, I didn't even look at the date...I'm new to this particular forum and I'll certainly pay attention in future. I just hope the shooter who asked the original question might see the post and perhaps he may use something I put forth for thought...

Hello, Over a 21 span in the profession of Arms, I've discovered certain truths, truths that to most are theoretical, not practical. I say all that to say this, your original question was in regards to gathering advice and counsel on a caliber for coyotes. It's great and necessary to gather input fr...
