Yes it is

Ruger has hit an out of the park home run with the American Rifle.
I love the fact that ruger listened to a small gun shop and ran a minimum 1000 gun production run for them.
Try calling Randy's Hunting Center in Bad Axe, MI, they are so busy that the phone normally takes you to a detailed voice message about the 450 American, and they are all sold out.
I believe Randy's has sold over 2000 of them so far.

I'm a lover of fine firearms, but these are a marvel of modern manufacturing designed from the ground up to take advantage of modern manufacturing technology.

They have sold so well, that other models in the ruger lineup have been discontinued or relegated to low production status.
