- I had a rough sight in at 35 yards and then I've shot plates and water bottles with the rifle. This time I wanted to actually see where it was hitting at 100 yards and especially how it was grouping. I was quite surprised with my first five shot group at 1oo yards.
That first group is deadly accurate, you are a great marksman
Thanks 👍, but that is not the norm for me, LOL. I'm usually all over the place.
Great shooting Cerv. The more I see and hear about the ruger American the more impressed I am. Really good video Sir, I totally enjoyed it.
Thanks Bob! Yeah for an out of the box affordable rifle they are had to beat.
Excellent...can't ask for anything more.
Thanks Boogerdog!!
Definitely a good grouping rifle. Keep up the good shooting
Thanks Paul 👋
Now that's one heck of a rifle. And shooter too get groups like that.
Thanks Jeff! It surprised me how well it shoots.
Hard to beat the Ruger American for what they are outta the box.
Yes sir you got that right! Thanks!
Have the 5.556, 7.62 and the 300 BO. All of them shoot like this. The 7.62 puts in same hole groups at 85 yards with cheap steel case russian garbage. I have much more expensive platforms but when it comes to fun and practicality, these are hard to beat. I tried the Jard triggers and they are excellent if you want to tighten things up even further.
Cool thanks for the info. And that is pretty much why I got this rifle, for some good ol plinking fun. However, given the accuracy it has I can certainly use it for hunting too. I have a American Rance 300 BO and my friend has the 7.62x39, but he doesn't like the feeding of the rounds from the magazine. He changed out to the AR type mags and it is still difficult to strip the next round and move it into the chamber. We need to get it out and see how accurate it is.
Great shooting there bud! That rifle is a keeper! Wonderful group considering the ammo.
Thanks! Yeah I was surprised since it was the cheapest 223 at the store.
Can’t beat that Cervus
Thanks!
Looking good!
Thanks Marc!!
It's nice when you find a round that works that well! I'm really digging your bags! You look comfortable anyways!
Thanks!! That front bag was my step fathers. I've found that I really like it and it stays in the truck for my shooting outings. I bought a small squeeze bag for the back and that makes a big difference in getting comfortable with the shot.
@Cervus-Venator my last pellet gun video I used a car wash sponge for the rear! I had it and it was there! Need too upgrade!
@@chrislang5659 LOL that's funny
I have the same...
Loves heavy grain .223
Great shooting...
Thanks Don! Yeah, I need to try some other ammo in the heavier grain range.
That first group was great, good shooting
Thanks Bob, I was not expecting that group. That's for sure.
Nice shooting CV. Those Ruger Americans are popular for good reason!
Thanks! I agree, at a fair price and they tend to shoot well. I think a lot has to do with the aluminum block bedding and the free float barrel.
👍👍great shooting rifle…….. first group was really good.
Thanks Lance! Yeah, I didn't expect that but I'll take it.
I have this gun as with yours mine is bone stock with an inexpenisve Bushnell 3-9X40 scope. With IMI 77 grain Razor Core Sierra Match King HPBT-Match I get 2- 2.5" groups at 260 yards. At 100 yards they're same hole accurate if I do my part!! I shoot off a bipod and a rear Caldwell bag. nice shooting!
Man that is some awesome shooting Jaiden. It is surprising how well these little rifles shoot. Thanks for sharing the information 👍🏼
great work we love ours and just got the scope yesterday so still got some work to do . enjoy the rest of the night
Thanks 👍 I hope your scope works out for you. The first scope I put on was a dud, but I had this one throwing around and it does great. Keep me up dated on how it does for you.
ya your was deff working awesome . i hope it stays that way for you too Cervus. I hope i can get ours running like yours is and ill deff keep you updated .
@@mrsmel269 Awesome! Thanks!
Good accurate shooting. The 68gr & 75gr Frontier usually both do well. Is that the 18in barrel? 👍
Thanks Bill !! The Ranch barrel is the shortest at 16.12". I need to try some of the 75 grain to see how they do.
Nice tack driver! :)
Thanks Nutty! I'm amazed at how well it shoots. The irony is that I just got it for range plinking. You know, water bottles, tannerite, steel plates and such. It also makes for a good back up hunting rifle if I ever need it.
I own this rifle and what’s impressive I’ve found is for the price you pay you get exceptional accuracy for average joe who doesn’t want to pay big money you can’t beat it.
100% agree. I love how accurate this little cheap (priced) rifle is. I paid a grand for my Ruger Precision .308, but I also have a Ruger American Predator in .308 that shoots very well too. To be honest though, this little 5.56 Ranch is a tack driver. Thanks for the comment and stopping by to check out the video.
Gotta like the ruger american ! Great value for the money !
Thanks Charles! That is my thought too.
They are accurate , I've taken my 5.56 mpr and put 100 rounds in a quarter sized ring at 3 distances each
Awesome Steve!! 👍🏼
What kind of ammo did you use?
@@eddierose8059 frontier, I use light grain for range use
@stevekelley2341 OK I'll try that. Light like 55gr?
@@eddierose8059 ya , I usually get whatever is on sale
Pretty dadgum impressive. I gotta have one.
To be honest it shocked me. I was so happy too, knowing how well this thing shoots. I'm very pleased with it.
Ya, that's what I found with my ranch rifle! All of the shots go through the same hole!
Cool Michael and that is amazing to me that an off the shelf rifle that is not too expensive shoots so well. Thanks!!
Nice shooting Cervus!
One hole!!! Yee Yee!
Thanks! It certainly was tight that's for sure.
Great shooting ! better get some more of that ammo...
Thanks David! Funny thing is that was some of the cheapest at the store. I think it was around 16 a box. I have a few boxes, but I'm thinking this rifle will shoot some standard 55 grain about the same.
You haven't measured yet but I'm calling it a .6 inch group. Very nice.
Edit: using your calipers, you can measure outside edge to outside and subtract .224" for your center to center size...or, set you calipers to .224" then zero the dial and measure outside to outside. You should get the same measurement.
Yes Sir. I measured it three different ways and they all came to the same of .6 inch group. I just now measured it outside to outside and it was .824. Subtract the .224 and it came to the the .6. Also I had measured it with the calipers from inside edge to outside edge and it came up the same as .6 of an inch. If I'd only shot the first 4 shots it would have been .315 of an inch group as the last shot was the one to the far left. Oh well, I'm quite happy with the group. I saw that short of the 6.5 PRC and man that is one nice tight group as well, but that rifle better produce those groups regularly. Looking forward to the full video.
@@cervus-venator Full video is out of jail and scheduled for tomorrow after WhoTeeWho.
Cervus what’s the twist rate on your rifle
If I recall it is 1:8"
👏
Thanks. Nothing better than an out of the box tack driver.
@@cervus-venator Indeed, especially at those prices.
It is a shooter .
Yes Sir, seems that way for sure. Thanks!
🍻🍻
Thanks Mr. Pearson!!
Hey Cervus
👋
I love my M$P AR-15 Named ( Little Pinky) cuse It is pink and white
Cool!! I have an M&P in 5.56. It was the first AR I ever purchased way back in the day. It was just a blk rifle, but It is now Forest green and Black. Thanks Sindee!!
5-6 clicks down and 3 clicks lft .. my opinion …frame that target .. Try 150 yards… great shoot n once again
Did the barrel heat up ?
I may zero it at 100 yards. I haven't decided. I originally zeroed it at 35 yards to begin with.
@@markpitre4257 I didn't check it. I'll have to do that next time I'm out shooting it.
