So i finally got around to reading the latest american rifleman magazine and it has an interesting article on the ruger american rifle. They even talk about the similarities between it and savage rifles quite a bit. Does anyone know if it has the same shank size and threads as a savage. It looks like the stock design on the ruger would allow for an after market stock and would make for some interesting possibilities if the barrels would interchange of course. I havnt seen a ruger hit the shelves here locally yet to get a better look. Any thoughts?
