I bought a Ruger Ranch in 350L for a few reasons:
1. I wanted a low recoil rifle for newbies/youths to enjoy shooting and be able to deer hunt with if they wanted. (So far my kids only like to fly fish, but they’re still young, and I have a nephew who’s interested)
2. Ammo availability. I love the 30-30 & the 35 REM. But 30-30 ammunition is sometimes available and 35 never is. I think the Ruger American Ranch in 300 BLK would have been ok for my purposes, and ammo is available for it, but the gun store didn’t have a 300 when I purchased the 350L. Likewise for the 6.5 Grendal.
3. I might go to Ohio to hunt sometime
4. The cartridge looks cool and I thought it would make a nice woods rifle for 100 yard shots
5. I wanted a Ruger American
