FUN little bolt gun!
« on: December 03, 2015, 04:05:31 PM »
Popped on the Ruger American Ranch of the compact type! I absolutely love it!



100yds 3rd group right, 3 rds high (oops, wrong way on the turret) 4 rds clustered on the top of the mark.

Nice group and nice looking rifle- any advantage to the .300 BLK?

Very nice. What scope is that?

I was looking at the Savage that uses ar mags but I didn't like the mag fit.

Very nice, most likely don't need to say this to you but watch that tang safety, easy to slide it forward while carrying it. But then again you won't be hunting with it. Well at least deer.

One gripe I have is the scope rail is not your standard mil 1913. Trigger is exceptional! It is just fun to shoot!

Oh SNAP, I didn't realize it was a .223, I thought it was a 308.  Very cool

Yeah, they come in .300 blk as well, and that would be cool, but I am trying to maintain my consolidated ammo integrity.

HC Very sweet looking rifle. I would take those groups any day!

Do you mind sharing where you got the Nikon? The prices seem to be all over the board. Which power range did you get? 3-9x40? Thanks

Here is the exact scope and this is where I got it! I bought it a couple years ago for my troy, but ended up putting a 1-4 vortex on it instead.

I have that same scope, really like it.

Have the Monarch 3 with the same BDC on my 308 bolt, have the same BDC in the rimfire version on a 10/22, and also a BDC reticle nikon on my Savage 17hmr. I'm a fan... maybe a bit because i'm a noob and haven't learned how to use mil-dot.
