Ruger American Ranch 300blk**Watch Before Buying**

[@davebuck2494]

I honestly do not think I have ever seen anybody zero a rifle shooting off-hand. Most of us use a bench rest, or at least shot from the prone position.

[@titansfan2104]

yep. not many good enough to zero off hand .

Poor folks don't have much alternative. The upside is that you're zeroing in the same position you'll be hunting. That make more difference than a lot of people realize.

[@hectorp73]

not sure why i must "watch before buying"

[@betweenthebars19]

I own the 5.56 and 7.62 version. And now I have the .300 BLK on its way. I love the Ruger Ranch rifles.

[@andrewlarson6805]

Former lake Erie kid here, thank you for the video and knowing the Lancer magazines are compatible is a big help my Ruger American 300 Blackout actually came with a bad magazine so it wasn't a good start.

[@Diablo_7212]

At 6:50 after the first shot you see he's anticipating the 2nd shot

[@russnbish]

So, why am I watching this before buying. Just trying to get views huh?

[@ZILAwelds]

with that rifle and the 300 blackout ammo you are right you have 2 points where your rifle is spot on .... 25 yd and 75 yd roughly ... I dont know where you get the 150yd or 200 yd from ... but 300 blackout drops like a rock !

[@brunners_outdoor_channels]

I do use the same rubber bands to brand my magazines as .300 BLK (same color)

[@jimi4mex]

A review that says I'm happy with the rifle the bolt action is really smooth and magazine compatibility is great are useful points. Myself and everyone else who hasn't bought the rifle yet all really wanna know is it inherently accurate? When you talk about accuracy it makes more sense to use a common method like shooting groups from a bench or the prone, make sight adjustments, and shoot more groups to confirm; If you have the time and money for it repeat the process with different brands of ammo. At least then everybody watching knows how accurate the gun is and not that you were just having a good or bad day shooting the rifle unsupported

[@armeddiver]

I know you made this video a long time ago, but I want to thank you for taking the time to do it. I am a huge 300 BLK fan and am planning to buy this gun. You are the first person I have seen shooting it off hand except for James Reeves at TFB TV. This will be my first bolt 300 BLK gun. My other guns are all ARs and there is a significant difference in how they perform when compared to each other. I am going to be very interested to see what the ballistics are like out of the hammer forged barrel everyone is bragging about. Again, thank you for the video.

[@adama1294]

look up the hasty sling firing position. It will greatly improve your stability when firing. I love the Magazine caliber bands you use. Now I am gona have to get them. Also try working the bolt with your trigger finger, by not taking your hand totally off the stock, you can shoot faster with the bolt action.

[@oso1165]

Why are you zeroing a bolt gun off hand...

[@brysonw1815]

Agreed, at least use a tripod, or a bench

[@kmorris180]

Good review. I will say (as a firearms instructor) at 4:08 you were anticipating the shot a bit. But outside of that your video is spot on

[@mutationdesign]

Just found your channel looking into the ruger ranch 300blk and subbed because I’m from the Great Lakes too.

[@cadamsm11]

Just happened upon your older video here…thanks for posting! I’m thinking about purchasing one of these. Everyone I know who shoots 300blk loves it. I’m kind of a .223 guy, was thinking about going .308. This might be a good way to ease into that! Chris

[@lukaszimmermann2215]

I love mine in 300 Blackout. Verry quiet with subsonic rounds and supressor.

[@229glock]

Actually great job running the action and shooting. Good video.

[@TD-2011]

8:01 nice flinch. Good review, thanks.

[@MisterBrewer]

I enjoyed the video and subbed. Thanks! Keep em coming!

[@peckfamily7033]

Good review. I’m loving this set up.

[@fljetgator1833]

Good job ! Real life shooting instead of off the bench. Nice 😎🇺🇸

[@silverfortune5229]

Would be great with subsonic and a suppressor!

[@ferebeefamily]

My thoughts also Matt.

[@madeintexas1213]

Ridiculously quiet with subs and a suppressor.

[@MichaelSparks]

You still like this gun? Thinking about it for a hunting / bug out type of gun.

[@markstrain8989]

Really like and greatly appreciate this video. Seriously considering getting one of the rifles. Please add reply comment identifying make and model, etc. of your accessories: the sling, the scope, the scope mounts, the "comp," and the mags as the audio is not always clear and I am not accustomed to your voice. Would also love to see more videos of you shooting this particular rifle as equipped and used in this one. Many thanks!!!!

[@pickit8838]

12/19/20 WOW I wished I had the ammo you just burnt through making this video!! I just bought my RA 300BO and love it so far. Action still stiff, hopefully it will get better with time. Amazing the drop at 100 from HV to Subs, probably 10-11 inches.

[@kevincaspersen4456]

Sighting in a rifle, standing without a rest or bipod is ridiculous.

[@joshlower1]

Kevin Caspersen well he wants to see how it will shoot the way he’s gonna be shooting it

[@fredpatrick1]

Its not ridiculous at all. In fact, it will give you the truest zero you can get. Rests and bipods can change your point of impact. Zero how you shoot, and you will know where you are shooting.

[@SurvivalInFlames]

Not to mention rapid firing it lol what a joke

[@sixpakshaker88]

@@fredpatrick1 Right. I zeroed my AR standing, because I know that where I live I will only get to fire at 50 yards because of woods and brush. It is a varmint gun.

[@dgreenapple]

Nice review. I would like to see the same effort shooting from a bench rest with a few (3) of the best quality ammo to see what kind of accuracy in terms of MOA groups at 100 yards that you can get from the rifle and the cartridge.

[@commonsense1649]

would like to hear some subsonics with that comp. nice compact set up

[@pswancey81]

I watched your first 10 rounds. I wish my bolt was as smooth as yours. My rifle like this needs to be rough housed when working the bolt.

[@Hamish_Whitehaven]

take out and clean and oil...

[@javiervalenzuela8284]

I read if you hand cycle it a shit load it becomes much smoother

[@joelwolfe]

More light primer strikes today. So not use CCI41 or AR style thick cup primers

[@steelshrapnel9900]

Projectiles never arc upwards, never! However all projectiles shot regardless of caliber leave barrel muzzle horizontal straight and from straight horizontal start dropping downward! They don’t arc upward before downward radius drop! People tend mistake recoil lifting muzzle upward as if projectile travels in upward arc path from muzzle which isn’t the case! Gravity constant force of physics!

[@michiganrattlesnake479]

Love your Videos

Good shooting. Good control.

Where did you buy the red 300 BO bands from?

[@mblake0420]

Primary arms has them on sale for 9 bucks for 10 I believe

[@markstrain8989]

sweet !!

[@markstrain8989]

oh, yeah, I forgot to ask about those, too.

[@mikey50469]

Definitely didn't need to watch this before I bought the gun

[@frankmiller4550]

Thank you

Did you get a suppressor for it?

Were did you get the magazines?

isnt the scope upside down?

[@alexanderheling2057]

Where are you at, what are you up to I haven’t seen you around for a while!

[@chrishunt4602]

Where’d you get the magazine? Mine came the the cheaper rotary mag

[@crockett11000]

You have the older Ruger first generation model my friend. The 2nd. Gen has the AR mag well, and comes with a magpul P-mag.. Your stuck with the old gun!!.

[@Hamish_Whitehaven]

i love mine

[@eirizarry2568]

Your make zeroing unnecessarily difficult. It is a simple process.

[@BoreBuddy]

Watch before you buy so you know how not to sight it in!

[@seabeeswebuildwefight9723]

I am thinking about buying this or a savage arms .224 valkyrie can anyone tell me if this is a good coyote killing gun?

[@Greatlakesprepper]

i'd consider the 224 valkyrie,the ammo is more available,its flatter shooting and more likely more accurate. the 300blk has a rainbow trajectory,the 224V is very flat shooting.

[@seabeeswebuildwefight9723]

@@Greatlakesprepper I've had friends swear by both but I've had many on both sides agree that the larger caliber would be more useful in certain situations, in the ammo category I always reload and where I buy my ammo and casings they've got it all.
