Gun Review: Ruger American Ranch Rifle

[Talyn]

Sturm, Ruger, & Co. started to realize the need for a solid, relatively inexpensive, precision bolt-action rifle that the average American can afford and appreciate.

Ruger released several chamberings in what they called the American Ranch Rifle lineup including .450 Bushmaster, a 7.62x39mm, .300 Blackout, 6.5mm Grendel, the .300 Legend, and the 5.56mm NATO.

What made all the Ranch Rifles attractive was the factory-mounted Picatinny and the use of detachable magazines.

I was thinking about one of these if the price was right.

Funny; just talking with a buddy about these.

A .223 model that takes AR mags is pretty tempting.

Then why not use an AR?
Not being negative, just what would be the advantage of a bolt .223 vs semi auto?
I’m thinking about cycling a bolt on yotes or vermin on the run vs semi auto

Suppression; not eating gas…

Ahh .. gotcha

A bolt gun is quieter than a semi auto suppressed.

Aren’t bolt guns supposed to be more accurate ?

Theoretically yes.

Depends on the shooter
