All the things I've heard about the Ruger American are that it is a reliable and affordable rifle. If that's your criteria it will suit you just fine.
I personally hate the hollow sounding and plastic feel of the stock, but it doesn't hinder performance.
Best advice I can give is don't cheap out on a scope or its mounts. That's not to say you need to drop $2500 on a Swarovski but I'd avoid a Tasco or Simmons

Didn't like that on mine either so I poured a pound of shore 10 silicone into the stock. Boyd laminate stocks are also a option for $120.

The old rule of thumb was that you took your total budget and spent 1/3 on the rifle and 2/3 on the scope/rings/mount.
Times have changed and even Leupold has reasonable offerings at the lower end - but I still say you're making a mistake putting a $250 scope on an $800 rifle - general rule of thumb, currently, should be spend as much on the rings and scope combined, maybe even up to 10 or 15% more, as you do on the rifle.
