Ruger American Ranch Gen 2 tested to 400 yards
The Ruger American Ranch Gen 2 is a lightweight, affordable bolt-action rifle. In this video, I test it out to 400 yards with a CVLIFE 2-10×32 MPVO AO scope. That is a budget-friendly combination, and it is a useful look at how much performance you can get without spending a lot. Scope code: 3RMY4HCR.
Building a budget rifle setup
- Start with a capable rifle: a lightweight, affordable bolt-action is a good base.
- Pair it with a sensible optic: a 2-10x variable scope covers close and distant shots. Compare more scopes at OpticsPlanet.
- Test your ammo: find a load your rifle likes. Browse ammo at Natchez and True Shot Ammo.
- Know your limits: practice at distance before you rely on it in the field.
