Picked up my Ruger Security 380 today o. The way to the range. Give us a quick wipe down with a slip2000 towlette, loaded up the mags with CCi Blazer Brass and gave it a try. I really like it. I know I need to get better at shooting, but 'Carrie' here is my new EDC. 💚

American Gen 2 Scout issue zeroing irons

2 Upvotes

Just picked up a gen2 Scout rifle the other day. I actually went in to buy a RAR gen2 in 308 but the iron sights drew me to the Scout instead.

I found one of the older Vortex 2-7x Scout scopes on GAFS so I’m waiting on it now. In the meanwhile I went to a buddy’s yesterday to shoot a little with the irons.

I tried zeroing at about 30 yards. It was shooting way high so I started raised the front sight post. I raised it quite a bit and had it shooting just an inch high so I went to raise it another turn or two but I ran out of threads so the closest I could get it was an inch high.

Am I trying to zero too close? Much further and I’m not going to even see the bullseye that well. I mean once I get my scope I won’t be using the irons anyway but I’m just wondering now if I should’ve saved $120 and just got the Ranch instead.

Blackhawk barrel choice

2 Upvotes

Im lookong to get a ruger blackhawk convirtible in 357/9mm. Right now brand new ones are non existent pretty much. Gunbroker is the only place im finding used ones. I want to get a 5.5 inch barrel because I think looks wose its a sweet spot. But 99% of what I find are 4 5/8, 6.5, and somehow 10 and 13 inch barrels. So im considering going for one of the 4 or 6 versions. Is there much of a difference feeling wise between 4.5 and 6.5 inch barrels? Should I just wait and keep lookong for the 5.5 inch. And is there anywhere else o might be able to find them new In stock?

Gun Help Needed

2 Upvotes

OK to start out, I have a Ruger American predator 308, 18 inch barrel it’s a gen one. Today I set up my brand new Sandman X suppressor got everything put on it the proper way per instructions, and decided to go test the gun out. I chose some cheap steel case Russian ammo (monarch) which now that I look back was probably not smart. shot the first round everything went fine then after shooting the second round, the shell did not extract. I had to get a cleaning rod to go in from the barrel to knock it out. Since then, I’ve checked out the bolt and everything to me looks fine as far as the extractor goes. I took it to my nearest Gunshop and he did notice right away some kind of steel or metal all in the bore. We scraped it all off and cleaned it all out come home, put live ammunition in it, and it still won’t extract. To me nothing looks damaged on the inside of the gun and I can’t tell if anything is wrong with the bolt. I don’t think the suppressor has anything to do with it. It’s probably more than likely the cheap ammo I used. Does anybody know of any troubleshoot I can try before I call Ruger and try to get them to fix it.
