Ruger American Ranch 300blk at 500 Yards

My son was itching to get to the range today and shoot his new rifle that he got for his 10th birthday. I loaded some 125 Nosler Ballistic Tips and grabbed a couple of boxes of Remington UMC that I had in my stash, and took off for the range. After zeroing and a little barrel fouling, he walked it out to 500 yards. Once we found the correct wind hold, he made 13 hits in a row at 500. That little rifle and that little dude are both shooters.

Good stuff

Awesome shooting!

And that was shooting with the wrong hand and eye !!!

Very nice! Finally got my wife out to shoot with me today she is in love

Awesome!

Now get that boy a LH rifle!

I have been debating something like that for a simple deer gun

Thanks fellas. I let him read the comments and he couldn't stop grinning.

After shooting it today, I think I'm going to do the same thing. It's compact, lightweight, accurate, and cheap enough that you wouldn't have a stroke if you dropped it in the dirt. And no recoil at all with a brake on it. It's super fun to shoot.

That is awesome right there

That's really really awesome..

Love it!!! I've also plinked with my Rem 700 in 300 blk out to 600 yards with my son. It's fun!

Awesome stuff! I have one of those rifles, but it has to go back to Ruger. Don't know if it's a headspace issue or a firing pin spring, but it will dent primers, but doesn't ignite them all. Used several types of ammo and same on all. Good shooter though, when it does shoot.

Very cool

Looks like he's a natural !!👍

yes

how is the noise level with the flash hider and supersonic? Awesome shooting btw!!!

Saw it at cabelas. A little unhappy with how heavy it is..wish they would have taken some more off the barrel or balanced the stock better

good for him! I've been thinking about getting one of those Ruger American Rifles in 6.5. seems like it would be a great little budget rifle.

Very nice. Way to keep those 300 blk haters in check. I love when folks say "well that round ain't no better than......" Really? It has limits and those who know them enjoy it a lot. Bolt or AR.

Also wondering that myself, very nice shooting there!

Need hearing g protection, loud. Same as every other centerfire cartridge.

i agree with blackout bill nice rifle, and as you know bill all calibers have limits, learn them and rifle will serve you well

hey what scope are you running on that rifle? and way to go youngin

very good shooting, for one so young most have problem with staying focused.

I have 2 American Predator rifles 22-250, 308 the 308 has 18" barrel really like both. for a $400. pie plate rifle ( as they have been called here) they are very accurate.
