OP MC68 Bird Dog M Joined: Mar 2015 Posts: 279 Central Texas	I bought this Ruger American in 350 Legend a couple of weeks ago and put an old Burris scope on it and took it to my range. Shoots very well! Don’t ask me why but I really like this round. Fun to shoot. I took it hunting last night and shot this little blond pig just after dark. It dropped in its tracks with 150gr Deer Season XP. Attached Files

Casting a line/gazing into a campfire/sitting in a blind after a long week is medicine for the soul. The serenity and peacefulness of it all is majestic.

It dropped in its tracks with 150gr Deer Season XP. I bought one of the Ruger Americans in 450 Bushmaster about a year ago. It is very accurate, and the hogs or deer I shoot with it are DRT. Because of its light weight, it delivers some pretty stout recoil and isn't much fun to shoot. Your 350 Legend would have been a better choice, at least for me!!
