Hey all. It's been a while since I posted, but I'm back now, and with a new rifle.
Last week I picked up my latest addition to my gun safe: a Ruger American Ranch in 5.56. I popped a Vortex Crossfire 1x scope on it, and viola! New truck gun.
I haven't had a chance to take and zero it at the range, but I've taken it plinking in the woods a few times and do far I'm impressed. At 50 yards, I poked a one hole group with surplus m193 ammo. When I stretched out to about 230, it was less impressive, so I tossed a couple Hornady v-max 223s loaded by HSM down and had a nice 3/4 moa group. It was about 6" to the left, unfortunately. But, a little Kentucky windage and I ventilated a milk jug pretty well.
So far I'm happy with my new rifle. I'll post a link to a video when I'm done recording and editing it.
