Ruger American ranch in 243 at 100 yards. Thought y'all might wanna see this in case you are thinking about getting one

Nice!

Factory or handload? Which model American?

Nice shootin' thorn. What ammo or load were you shooting? I'm fixing to start shooting mine and working on loads. Thanks.

Very nice shooting.

Great shooting!!!

5 shot group?

That's a great group! What were you running through it?

It is a 3 shoot. I should have focused better when I took the pic.

I started at 25 yards and shot about 5 rounds.

Moved to 100 and was high and brought it here.

I made the first shoot and another man on the lease made the second and a third man made the third shot.

It was cheap monarch 243 win in 100 grain soft point.

We were all aming at the bullseye. I like mine a little high at 100

It is really a good shootin rifle.

I do reload for my 243's but haven't for this one yet

great shooting.
can this be from a cheapo pie pan rifle lol this kind of shooting (three different shooters) upsets some folks.
i have 2 22-250, 308

My American in .243 would group that well also.
Can't knock that kind of group from a $350 rifle!

First three rounds out of my RA 7mm-08 after switching to Fed 120 gr from the Rem 140 I got it on paper with. 100yds, windy day, new-to-me rifle:

Dang, that's some good shooting!

That rifle with a quality optic is deadly!

We should have a sub $600 dollar set-up contest!

Those little rifles are proving to be excellent shooters in most cases. I have seen a couple that would have been better if used as tomato stakes. Glad you got a good one.

A friend has one that did well with 100s but even better with 85s. Might be worth a try. Either way that looks like a dead critter!

Wow man. Nice shootin !

No better value out there IMO

My .243 Standard model and 308 Predator both shoot exceptionally well for sub $400.00 rifles.

I always end up with the crappy bolt gun

My american in .243 shoots that well, but only with Winchester 95g "deer season" ammo. I have tried Fusion, Remington, monarch, and Winchester super x. It is all over the place with those, really strange.

That's awesome! Especially by 3 different shooters consecutively. Sure nice to know I'm not the only one to "discoverl" this great rifle. I'm on my second one now (in .308). I knew nothing about the Ruger American when I bought the first one the day before opening day of deer season 2 years ago when I got a last second invite to hunt down here at a buddy's place (I was temporarily living in SC). and just threw a Vortex scope on it (also discovered Vortex optics for first time) and off to lease I went. Sighted in rifle & scope that night at 50 yds by truck's headliights and shot a buck and hog the next morning. I was so impressed with that rifle and scope that cost me less than $600 combined. Heck, that was WAY less than either my Browning A-Bolt and Zeiss scope alone. Continued shooting the Ruger/Vortex setup all that year and this last past year. Shot WAY better with the Ruger/Vortex and ended up keeping those and sold the Browning/Zeiss with no regrets whatsoever!

Cuz has one in 300BO. It's lights out!

Ain't that what the Classifieds is here for?

Same here, mine is so fun, that I may not get it back from my Dad. I sent it with him for deer season and it has yet to come home...
