Title: Ruger American Ranch - 300 BLK
Post by: CP on June 14, 2016, 12:51:55 PM: I'm really intrigued by this rifle. Looks like it has a lot to offer for a very reasonable price. I like the idea of a simple bolt action in 300 Blackout. Anyone own one?

They also work great with subsonics. Don't have a load on the top of my head for the subs. They shoot most of the factory stuff well. Lots of fun for a short range gun. (<200 yards) Works great on coyotes. :) and short range on deer.

Edit to add: Also speer 130 flat point will shoot to same point of impact as 125 grain noslers (same load). It penetrates and mushrooms perfect at supersonic velocities great for deer.

My buddy's 3rd ever shot with it. He says the ammo was made in Everett :dunno:

I hope your buddy is OK. That's crazy.

I have one on order, I hope it never looks like that one.

I work with your buddy. Small world. Lucky he didn't get hurt, I will be interested to see what comes of this.
