For hunters and precision shooters who want a reliable, accurate bolt-action rifle that’s ready for the field, a well-maintained used platform can deliver exceptional value and performance. A rifle that pairs a time-tested action with quality optics and an upgraded stock gives you a ready-to-shoot package for medium- to long-range work.

RUGER AMERICAN is a 2018 Ruger American rifle chambered in .270 Winchester fitted with a Vortex 3×9 scope and a Boyd’s laminated wood thumb-hold stock. The action is described as tight and smooth, the trigger is light with a short pull, and the rifle shows very light use. The rifle comes with the factory box and a carry case—an attractive package at a listed price of $799.99.

The RUGER AMERICAN platform is noted for rugged dependability and accuracy. This specific example benefits from a Boyd’s laminated wood thumb-hold stock, which adds aesthetic appeal and improved ergonomics for a steady cheek weld. The Vortex 3×9 scope broadens effective engagement distances and is described as looking like new—ideal for extending practical shot placement in hunting scenarios.

Performance and Practical Use

The .270 Winchester is a versatile caliber for medium- to large-game hunting and for shooters who want flat trajectory and manageable recoil. It excels on deer and elk-sized game at typical hunting ranges and performs well in open-country shots where the Vortex 3×9 scope will prove useful. A crisp, light trigger and a smooth bolt action support precise, consistent shot placement—key ingredients for ethical hunting.

Stock and Handling

Boyd’s laminated wood stocks resist environmental changes better than plain wood and provide a stable platform for consistent accuracy. The thumb-hold contour improves grip and control for offhand or supported positions.

Price-conscious buyers will note the rifle’s condition—very light use, included factory box, and carry case—adds value. At $799.99, this setup offers a turnkey package without the wait of sourcing parts or optics separately. View product details and pricing.

Why This Rifle Stands Out

This RUGER AMERICAN pairs Ruger’s reputation for dependability with a quality optic and an upgraded Boyd’s stock, creating a package that’s ready for the range or the field. The tight action and short, light trigger pull favor accurate follow-up shots and consistent groups. For anyone shopping .270 Winchester options, this rifle warrants a close look.
