Re: Ruger American Ranch Rifle 300 blackout

Well, SWFA to the rescue again. If I could replace all my scopes with SWFAs, I would. I have some dumb 3-9 monarch on my 44 mag. Ohhhh I wish it was a fixed 6x SWFA. I keep fighting the urge to get one of their 3x15 scopes . I know I dont need that much magnification for the 300 blackout but I thin...

Re: Range day failure

I bought 3 20rd boxes of that ammo. They ranged from supersonic to too weak to cycle the action. Now I reload and not a problem since.

Re: Ruger American Ranch Rifle 300 blackout

My calcs say 178 yards at furthest. 250 yards would be the bottom hash mark if you dialed the scope 40 clicks up elevation. 300 BLK subs mean working those dials. It isn't a big deal once you get used to it.
