I'm in the market for a rimfire bolt action rifle that I can use to get really good at marksmanship. I've been looking at the Ruger American because it's inexpensive and I enjoyed shooting it as a rental. I want something that can grow with me as I improve, but can also be used for my sons as they learn to shoot.
The American can fit my 10 year old with the compact stock insert, but the Precision can telescope more easily. I've seen videos of people drilling steel plates at 400 yards with the Precision and it seems it's a much more adaptable platform, and much better out of the box for not that much more money.
Also looks like it can only use optics for sighting?
Would this be my best overall option?
