    If they directed their employees to conduct business in an honorable fashion with their customers' best interests in mind, they'd have nothing to fear, right?

    That is exactly what I used to think. I have been having some health issues for the last 6 months. My doctor has been sending me to an IV clinic for 4 hours of IV's with a nurse checking on me every 30 minutes. I just got a bill last week. One week of IV treatment cost $63,000.00. United Healthcare negotiated my bill down to about $25,000.00 and paid it in full. My cost was $0. Now, who is trying to rip me off, United Healthcare or the medical provider.

    So-- read through this thread and decided that a Dash cam might make a good Christmas present for my wife. Decided to go with the above one that eRay posted. Hopefully the install isn't too difficult and that it works as described. After 36 years of marriage it isn't easy to find gifts that matter. If nothing else it will be there if needed--🙃 

    I just plugged mine in and it worked. I like that it is simple with large buttons. My old $20 unit worked but everything was so small that I had trouble using it with my old shaky fat fingers. If Amazon puts this Rove on sale for Black Friday, I plan to get another one.

    Hey, just be aware that the Gen1 (don't know about the gen2) in .223, IS actually chambered in .223. Not 5.56 or .223 Wylde. If you're wanting to shoot heavier bullets (62gr+) you might run into problems with loaded ammo jamming into the lands. 

    Even though they're a 1:8 twist, Ruger told me that they're chambered for common 55gr ammo. I bought mine specifically to shoot 77gr Sierra TMKs & loaded at 2.26" I was jamming them ⅛" into the rifling! 😳

    I ended up having the chamber re-cut to .223 Wylde & it'll put 10 into a very sexy little 1" dot now.

    I just dug my Gen 1 out of the safe. It is stamped 5.56 NATO not .223, on the barrel.

  4. Burris Fullfield II 4.5 x 14 x 42 scope in like new condition. Ballistic Plex reticle. Burris forever warranty. I bought 2 of these from Amazon . I put one on a Ruger American and the other on a Ruger 10/22. I decided the scope looked too large for the 10/22 and removed it and replaced it with a 2 x 7 x 33 compact scope. Scope still looks brand new. No ring marks or scratches. Located in Lenoir City. These are $189 at Amazon. Reduced $100.

  5. Last year the wind blew down a 24" pine tree in my backyard. It was $ 800 to cut it up and haul it all off including the stump being dug up with an excavator. There was another one still standing just like it, so I paid another $800 to get it taken down as well. I asked the electrical engineer at my local power company for advice and he told me to get a couple of estimates then contact this guy. Your electrical engineer at the local utilities dept has this type of work done all the time. He knows who is cheapest bang for the buck in your area. They do not like to refer you to someone in case it does not end well. Don't ask him who he recommends just ask him who he would call if he needed someone. Worked for me. Now all my neighbors use this guy for all our tree work. He stays busy and we may have to wait a month or two but he does good work for a fair price.

    I got a Gen 1 on the way.👍

    You will like it. I put a variety of different scopes on my Ruger American ranch rifles. Everything from a Vortex Crossfire 2 x 7 x 33 to a Burris 4.5 x 14 x 50. The one I like best is a cheap Vortex 2 x 7 compact that I got from Amazon for $120.00. In a set of Vortex low mount rings it just clears the mounting rail by about 1/8 inch on each end. That puts the scope down close to the bore and lines your eye up about where a set of fixed sights would be. If I were doing it over I would put this one on all of them. The bigger scopes look kind of overpowering on these small rifles.

    I’ve saw the Gen 1’s some places quite a bit cheaper than the Gen 2’s. I like the looks of the spiral barrel on the Gen 2’s , but if that’s  the only difference I will go with the gen1 for price.Im a cheap a$$.😂😂

    Are you shooting factory loads or do you reload?

    I am just using factory Federal Hi Shok soft point. If you check familyfirearms.com they are not charging sales tax. I got 3 Gen 1's for $448 each. The Gen 2's were $494. Only downside they charged $20 shipping on each one instead of packing them together to make it cheaper. I am old and like things simple. The Gen 2's look to me like they were designed by Mattel or Pfisher Price. Keep it simple.

  8. I just bought 3 new American Ranch Rifles in Gen 1. One in 5.56, one in 300BO and one in 7,62 x 39. I do not like the buttstock cut into two pieces to make it adjustable on the Gen 2  I am not too crazy about the looks of the black cheek riser either. I've always gotten about 1.5 inch groups out of the gen 1's. I can not imagine the Gen 2's being much better. The Gen 2's are only about $45 more than the Gen 1's at familyfirearms.com/ I thought I better go ahead and get a few of the Gen 1's while I still can.
