This is the last thing I needed to hear. They are about a 2 1/2 hour drive from me... I must resist!!!!


I'm just over three hours away and I'm having a tough time talking myself out of making the drive...

I saw Randy yesterday, got to handle a 20" threaded and a 16" threaded they look good. Very light weight barrels are tapered with a bulge at muzzle for threading breaks or suppressors. The 22" non-threaded guns are coming in the end of October he has 1000 of them coming at $499 around 700 are sold. He also has some left hand guns coming in.

He also had Leupold make a 3-9 scope with range dial turret it goes out to 300 yards they are $300. Set-up for a 2200 fps.

Randy saw a opportunity and jumped in with both feet with a rifle and scope combo, as long as Ruger will keep supplying guns they will sell not just here in Michigan.

I get it, I have the 450 BM H&R single shot from BK Guns N Stuff I got this past winter that hasn't even seen the woods yet. I also have an H&R Ultra Slug hunter in 20 gauge that's only seen one deer season before we could use rifles in the shotgun zone. I talked myself out of the drive this weekend, but am giving myself the week to think about it...

Dad took his rifle out end of last week. This his first group after zero. Factory Hornady 250 at 100 yards, Ruger American 16" barrel. No chrono data. Scope is a redfield 2-7.

Nice Robin! If you don't like it, I'll take it off your hands!

Dad said recoil is there but not terrible. I'll ask him what he would compare it to and post back later.
