[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1602031, member: 54178"] The new Franchi Momentum is darn near an exact copy to the Ruger American. To wit: 1. Both have cold hammer forged barrels 2. Both have 3 lug bolts with the lugs integral with the rest of the bolt body 3. Both have V block bedding blocks (But Ruger's are Y blocks for pillar bedding the action bolts.) 4. Both have NO bolt lock when on safety. Dumb! 5. Both have polymer stocks. Franchi uses the old style magazine of leaf spring and floor plate.I feel Ruger's (cheap) plastic magazines are more user friendly. Now for the kicker. Franchi is so proud of their Ruger American knockoff that they want $609. for it. Ruger American street prices are around $400. And Rugers are likely more accurate on average. Jus' sayin'... Eric B.
