[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 904501, member: 22069"] The Ruger American comes with a 10 twist barrel, which will allow you to shoot up to 69g bullets. I think it would make a helluva truck gun/walkaround varminter. I have shot one in .308 and was impressed with its accuracy. If the 22-250 performs similarly, I think it would be a steal. I am seriously thinking of getting one myself. ETA: Well, now I am not so sure about the 10 twist. Ruger website says 1:10. I am seeing a lot of internet comments saying that is an error on Ruger's part and the twist is actually 1:14. Don't know what to believe. If it is not 1:10, I would opt for the .223 or the .243 with a 9 twist (hello 105 AMAX!). One thing you might consider is that the American is also available in .223 with an 8 twist barrel, which will allow you to shoot up to 80 grain bullets. With some of the factory ammo currently available in .223, that would be a heckuva setup, too. [/QUOTE]
