Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

Well I had a bunch of leftover Romex from building the house. I just traded it to a guy building a shop for a Ruger American in 7mm-08. Factory camo and Rugers signature cerakote like bronze colored barrel (don’t know what they call it?) with muzzle brake And flat top. I had a very old Leupold 3x9 laying in the back of the safe that is going to jump on it. I just need to pick up some rings. I think it will make a dandy deer hunting rig for when grandkids come to farm to hunt deer. I have never shot an Ruger American Rifle, I don’t think? Maybe, just not sure. Anyone have one? Do you like it? Can it hold a group? I will test it once I get some ammo.
I got a feeling it should shoot, they are nice little rifles. I feed my 7-08's and .280 the Hornady 139 BTSP #2825. Used that bullet for 30 years and it groups 1/2-1 MOA and will expand but hold together with launch velocities from 2000 fps in reduced loads to 2950fps in the giddy-up loads.
