Ruger American ranch 16”

[Rosecrans1]

I'll assume those shots were at 100 yards and if so, on a new(er) gun that doesn't have a lot of shells through it, that is actually pretty good. My RAP started to really settle down after 150+ shots. Again, I epoxied the barrel channel to stiffen it up making sure the barrel was still free-floating and all the oil was cleaned off the action screws and action threads and torqued per Ruger's specs slowly tightening each screw from back to front then cycling the action, (outside), with live ammo until I had it running smooth. I used ASC 5 and 10 round mags at first because they didn't have the spring tension of the AA and CPD mags. I removed a little "spring" from an AA to get it to work. After awhile, I can run just about any mag through the rifle but a hiccup here and there on the CPD and AA mags prevent me from using them as dedicated mags for it. The ASC's are 100% on mine.
I would be very happy with those groups at 100 yards using factory ammo on a newer Ruger American or RAP. Nice shooting and thanks for sharing this.
