Ruger American rifles are stupid worth it! Probably the most value bang for buck rifle on the market. More accurate than me. I have the ranch version in 6.5 Grendel.

Stock is OK (aftermarkets are available) Action is great (a bit "zipper" feel but smooths out) and the trigger is good right out of the box.

Yep, just stepped out of the blind with my .308. Good accuracy for a $400 rifle.

Same. Really nice for the price and made in the USA.

OP - I'm interested if your first buyer falls through. I'm in austin - will be in College Station the 2nd or 3rd weekend of January.

I've got the .243 as well, it's a joy to shoot. It loves blue box Federal.

Do you have magazine feeding issues with your RAR in the Grendel? Mine shoots great but can be a PITA to get rounds into the feed ramps and into the barrel.

I used to have a 22-250 that constantly did it. Gun shot amazing but was very bad about feeding. For a short term fix call Ruger and they should send you a new mag, which might temporarily fix the issue until the spring wears down again.

The best fix I found for my 22-250 was an aftermarket stock.

This is such a great rifle for the price point. I love mine in 6.5CM and 308. To me, nothing is worth spending more until about the $2,000 mark (Seekins Precision rifles).

Have the same gun in 6.5 creedmoor with same magazine feeding issues. After a little research I ordered a couple of 450 bushmaster mags and it works great. Totally different feeding design.

I replaced stock and have Magpul Hunter stock on it. I have 3 different 6.5 Grendel mags 2 are different brands and all seem to do it.

Right? Now that daughter finally killed something with it, I wouldn't feel as bad.

I do not. I have Gen 2 RAR and use ASC 10 rounders. Download by -1 round and see if that helps.
