After seeing the guys YT video about modifying their Ruger American rifles I emailed the guys and they suggested I come share my build over here.
I'm heavily invested in my rifle. This was my first bolt gun so there was sentimental attachment to it and I wanted it to continue being useful. I've used this to shoot 1000 yds already and plan on going for 1 mile soon.
Build list was:
26" Krieger barrel, MTU profile, cut rifled by Precision Firearms, WV
MDT LSS XL Gen2 Chassis
MDT SRS stock
MDT Rubber Dampeners
MDT Baker Wings
MDT 10.25" Arca Rail
Anarchy Outdoors Penguin Grip
Anarchy Outdoors Firing Pin/Retainer
Anarchy Outdoors Titanium Bolt Shroud
Catalyst Arms Apex Bag Rider
AD Arms Billet Cocker
Atlas V8 BT10 Bipod
Atlas BT22 3" Leg Extensions
Area 419 Arcalock Clamp for Atlas Bipods
Area 419 Hellfire brake
Timney Trigger
MDT LRA SendiT Electronic Level
MDT LRA Adjustable Level Scope Mount
Arken 20 MOA Cantilever Scope Mount
Arken Flip-up Scope Covers
Arken Throw Lever
Arken EP5 5-25x56 FFP MIL Scope
The reason for the Arca rail was for tripod use but mainly due to some reading I was doing on Snipers Hide regarding the forend stability of the LSS XL Gen 2. I read on several occasions of some flex in the forend and many people resolved this flex by adding the Arca rail.
Awesome upgrades. Gun looks amazing. Thanks for sharing!
