I hope you and your grandson enjoy your Ruger American.
I have a Predator in 308 18". I run it suppressed. I really like it as a knock around, inexpensive, yet very effective rifle. I also chose a Vortex 4-12x50 scope with BDC reticle. I swapped in the AI magazine conversion kit, but you'll be set up well using the Magpuls.
I have plans to get some Anarchy upgrades to bolt, no real rush. But check them out and explore around the site for bolt upgrade options.

and bolt fluting if you want to get really fancy

A friend of mine who has several Ruger Americans in different calibers says to do myself a favor and get a Timney Trigger. Also no real rush for me. I've measured my trigger setting at 4 lbs. 1 oz., it's pretty consistent and crisp to me. You do have to remember, it's not a $10,000 custom rifle.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
