re: .308 Ruger American Gen 2

But I’m thinking Gen 2 with a suppressor.
Any rifle suppressed will be much more pleasant for a child to use - from both a recoil and noise standpoint. I just purchased a new can for the Bushmaster I mentioned previously, expecting the email anytime now.

I’ve owned several through the years and just bought a Gen 2 in 450 Bushmaster. They’ve all been great shooters of factory ammo for cheap factory rifles (sub half inch groups). You can order an aftermarket trigger spring for $12.95 if it bothers you. The Gen 2’s are much nicer from a fit and finish perspective than the Gen 1’s. Buy what you want, some of these guys around here are great at telling you what you should buy with your money. What I’m going to tell you is I’ve been pleased with the ones I’ve owned (relative to the price paid).

I own several pieces of Asio, and am impressed with it. I just purchased the puffy jacket someone else mentioned and like it as well.

Sweet looking little gun, can you suppress these?
Absolutely. That’s how I run mine. I had to order mine directly from Extar but it’s a breeze.

I have a $300-$400 Holosun on mine. I’ll look when I get home tonight and respond in here. The Extar is a neat little gun for the price. I’ve had zero problems with mine.
re: Alex Golesh from USF, any thoughts on him?
Posted by Judge Smails on 10/27/25 at 3:13 pm to 308
I like him. Young, hungry, & offensive-minded. That being said I doubt he gets a serious look.

Have owned both, still own the .224. Also had a Mark XXII with the scope you referenced. Believe they are Jap made. BRB
ETA - Per my copy of Weatherby’s biography “Developed an entirely new line of scopes which he called the Weatherby Premier….Introduced in 1972 and produced by the Asia Optical Company in Japan…… Weatherby Supreme replaced the Premier line in 1984 and were also produced for him by Asia Optical Conpany.”

I found a variation of the Holosun AEMS in a local shop & went with it. Still haven’t gotten a chance to shoot it. I’ll check out the .22 you linked.
