[QUOTE="Mark Warner, post: 1502020, member: 105677"] I have owned several Ruger Americans and several friends own them from 223. 22-250, 243, 6.5 creed more and 308 Win and 30-06 all will shoot moa with the right ammo. Make sure as the others say that your reticle is straight, shoot a 150 grain bullet or a 165 grain bullet,these will kill anything in NorthAmerica that you care to shoot at and won't beat the snot out of you. Sight your rifle in at 200 yards (not 100) from muzzle to 200 hold dead own, most scopes will be 1.5 inches above the bore. your bullet will drop 6 to 10 or 11 inches. When your 200 yard zero is at it's best shoot at 300 yds and slightly tweek your scope adjustments to make it tighter group. Do not turn you turrets till you tweek at 300, make note how much the bullet has dropped at 300 and then how many clicks you need to make to go between 2 and 300. Ruger American triggers can easily be fixed to break safely to 1 3/4 to 1 1/2 pounds by some one that is competent in your area. Hornady Ballistics has a Super web page that you can plug in you data, bullet weight, velocity, ballistic coefficient, sight in range(remember 200 yards) scope height, and put the max range at 500 or 1000 then hit calculate and it will give you everything you need to know, from the muzzle to 1000 yards.
