Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Lets see your Ruger American's

Dave,

I've only fiddled with one rimfire RAR (buddy has a 22lr), but it shoots really well even though its ugly and feels cheap. We pitched the trigger spring and the pull is really, really good w/o creep. I offered to remove the blade but he wanted to keep it. With Mini-mags he holds his own out to 100+ yards with a Simmons 3-9x scope of all things. I'm impressed for the cost and amazed by how well it shoots given its light weight compared to my 54.

Also, my 223 RAR is freaking lights out with the 75gr AMAX. Its scary accurate, especially for its light weight, so the only problem is when the shooter misses. Ain't the rifle, ammo, or scope

Pic below from the 22lr with Wolf. Bud's target on the left, mine on the right. I'm going to blame the Simmons for my crappy group as I'm not accustomed to such poor optics For reference, my 54 shoots the same ammo 0.2". Only a couple of targets, but I've seen enough ammo shot to know its not a fluke. That rifle flat out rocks. He just needs a rail and Super Bird on it. I'm hoping he doesn't put a Timney in that dang RAR or else he'll give me a run for my money...
