Budget Friendly Ruger American Rimfire:💥 Dayattherange 22LR Callout Challenge💥 

"stop being critical of one another...get out and have some fun" Preach it brother - can I git an AMEN ?!

This is the first time I've watched one of your videos. Your fun and positive attitude is a breath of fresh air. I had a great time with you on the range. Keep it up!

A very recent convert to rimfire, took my new Ruger American (standard) to the range as purchased. While it was enjoyable, my seventy-year old eyes really needed a scope at 100 yds. So I added a $29 scope and returned to the range. Using Federal bulk target ammo, after final scope adjustment, my seven round group was in one quadrant of the 4 1/2 circle. This week, I have two additional brands of ammo, but have been rained out, can't wait for some sunshine!

There are few things as enjoyable as a range day with an accurate little 22LR rifle or pistol for that matter. A perfect gateway firearm to get new shooters interested. Pure joy. Thank you for sharing.

Had a couple of really bad heart attacks a few years back, full blown cardiac arrest, 8 days on life support and it set me back in life a little bit. Getting back into shooting as finances allow has brought much joy back into my life. As I said earlier, always a good video. Good, clean, and honest. Very appreciated 😊😊

Great video, love to see how diverse our hobby can be. We can go from top of the line to budget and still have fun. Keep these fun videos coming.

I have a Ruger American 22LR with 20" barrel, in Australia ammo is expensive at about double the price you would pay in America so I only shoot the 4 brands of ammo that you used in your video over 50 metres and have found the accuracy to be #1 CCI Blazer #2 American Eagle #3 Federal Target #4 Winchester SuperX. When shooting over 100 metres the accuracy is #1 CCI Blazer #2 Winchester SuperX #3 Federal Target #4 American Eagle.The higher quality and more expensive ammo which I have tried many times isn't anymore accurate so it really isn't worth using. I really enjoyed the video and it shows that shooting can be relatively cheap and fun.

I purchased a Rock Island Armory M14Y 22 lr about a year ago. This little thing is a bolt action 22 lr. It has iron sights a 10 round mag and is also threaded. I purchased this at a local Bi-Mart out yhe door for $117.00. My kids and I have shot a few thousand rounds through it and it is a tack driver. We shot it both suppressed and unsuppressed. We put a cheap 3x9 $29 amazon scope on it and a $ 15 bipod. My six year old has the biggest smile you have ever seen when we shoot it.

Just purchased a new ruger American 22 two days ago in an attempt to stay sharp during the ammo shortage and I must say I'm very pleased in the rifle. Did a slight break in on the barrel with 20 rounds then set out to see how it would group. 81 yards, yes 81 lol, 10 rounds and covered the group with a quarter. Running a vortex viper on top and cci stingers down the barrel. Really nice little rifle. Very pleased

Another nice video. You are a great spokesman for the sport and the family’s involvement.

I have tried several times to do the budget friendly set up and always end up going over the top with the mods. I just can't help myself but 22 is a great time no matter how its set up

Thanks for the videos. What makes them great to watch is the fun you have shooting...it shows. Exactly why I shoot and my kids shoot....it's just plain fun! Great reviews as well btw.

Great down to earth video. Keep them coming. Thank You

Great video!!!...thanks for posting... Vinnie

G'day from down under, 1 have the same rifle in 22wmr....love it , no drama ...rabbits out to 100 yards....all day long...only mod was replace trigger spring and polish...1.5lb now great little hunting rifle....not as accurate as my lithgow la101 .22 ...but buy 3 rugers for the lithgow...keep up the great vids..cheers cobba...

I’m not worked up about the times we’re in. I like social distancing. 👍😇

This dude is awesome. Great channel

Absolutely love your videos!

I've had one of these rifles for a couple of years now. Plenty accurate rifle in my book.

Just coincidently I recently bought an Anerican rimfire 22lr. The longer barrel with the high comb stock included. Didn't need the high comb with the combo of bases, low rings, 40 mm scope I installed. Would have gone for the shorter barrel had I known.

Good video sir. Finally see what a RAR does out of the box.

like that target , and the blazer ammo is very good stuff !

Thanks for your time and effort for making this nice presentation. I have similar rifle (mine have longer barel and wooden stock) and with Eley sport, club and match I get sub 18 mm groups at some local competitions (50 m prone position and with use of simple 4 X Conus scope).

Love your videos.

Great video! So glad I found your channel👍🏻👍🏻

That's one way to get out of the rabbit hole... go back to having FUN! I kept listening for the theme song from "The Twilight Zone ", with you using a "budget" rifle, scope and ammunition! 😉 Great groups with the budget setup! 👍I'm hoping to get my .22 setup out on the range over my Labor Day vacation. My video coming out this week mentions you several times. I hope you know it's with admiration and respect that I did. I've also linked to your website. Great job, my friend 🇺🇸

just got my ruger 8358 barrett brown in today because of your video. I can't wait to shoot it on friday. Thanks dude. Lt. dan out.

Sir I can tell you are a great American and a great human being. Please stop in at Four Oaks, NC USA ANYTIME and lets shoot on my range my friend.

Great Comparison video Brother!! Appreciated;Keep the faith)) Thanks

I love this rifle. Always an enjoyable time at the range! I have the same OD green version and a Vortex scope, and I added a Timney 2.5lb trigger just for fun. It's a looker, too.

Your doing a good job...

nice rifle. i have one in .22wmr the first time i took it out i got dime sized five shot groups at 200 feet with a 30 year old bushnell and 50 grain federal small game jhp. i would have stretched it out further but i ran out of targets. i was VERY impressed with the rifle and the ammo.

I started with a Ruger American Rimfire compact, put the longer LOP stock insert on it (weren’t yet available in 18” full length) then scoped with a rimfire Nikon 3-9x40. Then about 4000 plus rounds. Then a Vortex Crossfire II pulled off my wifes 17hmr RAR compact. Now comes NRL22. (Though Covid keeps me away) I set up with the same rifle, Vortex ffp 4-16x44 in Vortex Pro Series rings on an EGW 0 rise base and MCARBO trigger spring. CCI Standard Velocity. 1.5” round steel at 100yards (in West Texas, wind ya know) and ding it regularly. 2” is almost 100%. From a center bag squatting behind the rest! Along with varying distances. Round count is well over 10,000 now. Only issues were 1 extractor spring (leaf spring around end of bolt) and 1 roll pin for the bolt stop. All this has totaled $800 list, $650 actual. You nailed it! One heck of a rifle!

I had to use a dremel to sand the wood down as well on the Ruger Rimfire Target I own. I have another issue with things coming apart more thanthey should on disassembly. Additionally, the extraction can quit quickly when you aren't cleaning the bolt thoroughly between shooting sessions. With all that said, I'm pretty happy with the performance and recently upgraded the scope I use with it.

Good stuff mr revolver guy not everyone as alot of money to send on shooting but still love to shoot this is what it is all about just catching up on old videos

I just found your channel Marine, love your presentation! Semper Fidelis Brother! OOH-RAH!

A very accurate rifle.

Great videos keep them coming. 👍

I would love to see a range test of the new Howa M1100 22 lr bolt action., using mid-price ammo. It is a fairly new release.

Plinking with plinking ammo ............ kind of brings back my childhood, keep shooting you're still in the rabbit hole !!

I thought you were going to put it on paper but that's way more fun. Very nice, both paper and reactive! Gotta love it. Ok, Ruger bolt or semi?!

I have same rifle with 22 inches barrel, I shoot CCI standards with the Suppressor on and Federal Hight Velocity without Suppressor and the impact point are the same but as soon as I put supresor to the Federal hight Velocity the shoots goes higher like this rifle on the video.

Hello from Kentucky my friend, I've been thinking of buying a Ruger American Rifle .22lr for squirrel and rabbit hunting. Thanks for sharing this video. JT

This was a great idea for a video. Thanks

Nice video, nice message. I’m looking at getting a Ruger American in .22WMR, but will have to ‘adapt,’ as I’m a “Lefty.! I have a Savage .17HMR which IS a lefty, but no such offering by Ruger.

I have a ruger american rimfire and it loves CCI stingers. Always 1/2” groups at 50 yards

Nature Boy, Whooooo

Subbed thanks for the positive energy and entertainment

Update: I've been to the range with mine too many times to get it as good as my Bull barrel Ruger, figured mine out, Boyd's stock sanded for freefloat, metal tape around the lugs that go into the stock, and 35ip on tourqe, 5 rds under 1/4 at 50 yrds, 5 rds at 1 inch at 100. GOT IT DIALED! norma black box.

It's interesting how the addition of a suppressor or compensator changes the point of impact. I put a compensator on my Taurus TX22 and point of impact was raised by about 3/4 of an inch at 15 yds, shooting from a rest.

Only the green stock ruger has the threaded barrel

Finally got to try my 8334 with a DA Mask. Curiously, groups tightened about 30% for all loads and POI shift was minimal. I think I got lucky with this one.

I have a Savage MKII that is very accurate. You make me want to go to the range tomorrow.

Hello new to your channel. Great shooting and not one jam , well done!

I like this guy

Get yourself a KYL target. They’re fun!

Great video my Ruger American Rimfire the barrel was touching the stock,Sent it back Ruger put a new stock on it so it was then free float.Where did you get the nice diamond targets

hello from 2021 lol really enjoyed the video and made my decision. set on buying this when the time is right 🤙

Looks like a .22 cal air rifle target. Too light for that much energy.

I own 22lr and the 22magnum in the American

I've owned the same ten twenty two since the seventies. It's a fun reliable gun, but not as accurate as I wish. It shoots best with standard. I know this is an american, but it doesn't seem to shoot as well as a model 60

Always a good video... Always

Greetings from the gun lovers of Brasil!

Where's the paper? Thumbs down on 4" hits at 50. That rifle must be more accurate than that. Sorry for the negative waves, your videos are some of the best I have seen, so please keep'm coming.

GREAT VIDEO ...!!!! DO LIKE I DO , ALDI'S CARD BOARD BOX AND MAGIC MARKER...!!! LITTLE DUCT TAPE ....!!!!! DOUBLE G. HERE...!!!!!!!

I would like to suggest to do this target accuracy test just like you did today, but instead weigh each cartridge of each brand to come up with the same weight cartridge for each brand. Maybe give yourself a +/- of 1/10th of a grain. Curious to see if that will affect, not so much the accuracy, but the group size. Thank you in advance.

CCI 40 grain shoots the best in that rifle.

What scope? Mount? Rings? Please sir.

I got in to that rifle with a scope for around $480

Does anyone know if you can shoot short cartridges out of the Ruger 22 rimfire American if you purchase the after market short magazine?

I'm a Jersey guy

nice video! would you use this or 10/22? and why

Ruger does not make exceptionally accurate rifles without a lot of after purchase work. A Savage Mark II FV will shoot sub minute of angle at 50 yards (.5" or better) right out the box with good optics. Seriously.

Ive got one, as does my daughter. Neither is that accurate, but they are fun to shoot otherwise.

What model ruger American are you using?

Yeah buddy!

Do not fly that bullets from my Ruger rf, only for plinking. Shooting only 50-100m distance.

Which ammo have you found to be most accurate?

Is that Ruger barrel threaded ?

What scope mounts are you using?

How big are the squares on the official target? They look like 1 inch.

Hey there Mr. RG , what state are you from ?

Didn't watch all and I know it's 22lr but even working the action than shit is like mounted in concrete, geez

How far are you shooting ?

it's very cheap, we have this rifle in our country cost 1500 dollars 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️

Dissapponting gives no idea of the accuracy of the rifle are you scared to shoot groups without the rifle being in a vice ? It all makes the comparison of the different kinds of ammunition academic.

why are you shooting such cheap ammo. That is not how to test a rifle. Come on.
