Ruger American Rimfire

[TyFromMD]

The American 300 BLK is really calling my name.

OH BOY I just found one online after looking locally since you posted this and purchased it.

It was calling my name before too but it's super hard to locate from lots of distributors.

I would have taken the Ruger American Ranch in 5.56 too but that's no where to be seen either.

Gun Connection had one of the 5.56 on the shelf as of 3pm today.

You mean this ...

Ordered it online a week back. There are reports of mag feeding problems. I ordered a couple extras from Grabagun just in case.

I mean what?

Ohh. yeah. I found one of those online after looking locally for the past month.

Have you fired it yet?

Not yet. Traveling some so had the LGS keep it and order a scope for it. Hopefully will have it tested and sighted in by mid-April.

Also got a brake for it (not sure it needs it, but am building a 300 BLK AR that I can move it on in the future).

Need to do my trust thing so I can get a suppressor (after NFA paperwork too) in the future.

But now thinking of getting the Ruger American Rimfire as a complement. Cheaper ammo.

I have an AR already in 300blk and an extra 51t AAC break for my silencer. Reading about the mag issues now. It's a shame they didn't make this gun to take AR mags.

AR mags would be nice. Will see if the mags that I've ordered (not arrived yet) have feeding issues. Guy on YouTube showed that after pushing out rounds in some mags, the subsequent bullets didn't even push up. Looks like a weak spring or unsmooth loading path.

Could be why they're so hard to find right now. Ruger might be working on a fix.

I was at Greentop last weekend and saw a bunch of them there in various calibers.

The Ruger American Ranch is only available in 5.56 and 300 BLK right now.

The Ruger American Rifle is available in several other calibers.

I've got the RAR in 22LR. Its a great rimfire rifle. Good price for an accurate little bolt gun.

I also like the fact that it takes all the same mags as the 10/22

THIS. Mine is a tack driver.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my favorite .22 bolt-action rifle: CZ-452.

If I didn't already have a CZ American,the Ruger would certainly be sitting right here!.

My comment is about 22's in general...

I've had a couple of "nice" 22's from very good manufactures...

In my experience 22's, using standard cheap ammo are accurate at 75 yards or less...

The groups tend to open up from 2" to 3" at 100 yards...

The other limitation of 22's is the wind...

22's are easily blown off course on a lot of "normal" days...

If accuracy is your goal or it is important to you, I would strongly buying your rifle in 22WMR...

Higher speed with heavier projectiles = better accuracy...

I got rid of my 22's for those very reason...

Good luck with what ever you buy...

So is it true that on any AR platform that shoots .223/5.56 that all you have to change is the barrel to shoot 300 blackout?

That's what it sounds like to me. If not, feel free to school me.

The only difference is the barrel and the flash hider, everything else is the same as a 5.56 AR, including the magazine
