I had some fun at the range in between hunting!

I took my .300 Blackout out for the 1st time since installing my favorite 2-7 Leupold scope. It shot pretty decent with the 130 grain soft points my uncle loaded up.
I had also taken my Glock 30SF and 10mm barrel out, but STILL didn't get to test it out. Maybe next time. There were a couple guys waiting behind me with muzzleloaders to sight in. Normally I would have kept shooting, but with it being blackpowder season here, I figured I would give them the range.

When hunting - when I intended to take a gun hunting I test fired it as it would be carried and shot in the field - under outdoor as found expeditions conditions...
Of of a wood bench is fine - but a few rounds offhand or kneeling or with you leaning up against a post when possible are good choices.
I also like to realy ring out the tightest possible 5 round to 10 round groups at 100 yds using anything I can aquire as far as shooting gear - bags - rests - sleds - etc...
But they are distinct separate test regimens yielding somewhat different results...
Just food for thought.

My dad made me do that with my 1st deer rifle. As a matter of fact, when we took our hunters safety field test, we were allowed to bring our own rifle out to the range and shoot afterwards. They had a little drill going where you fired a round from the bench, 1 round from the kneeling position, 1 round sitting, 1 round standing, and 1 round laying on the ground. I thought that was a really neat thing to do.
FWIW, this is just target shooting with a rifle. I am muzzleloader hunting this week. I did not clarify that in my original post.

We need more info on your new toy, make, model. I like the looks of it and it appears that it shoots as good as the operator. [:D]
That is what I always say. [:)]
The rifle is a Ruger American Rifle. It has a 1:7 twist. I have some 200 grain Sierra Gamekings loaded up for testing next time I am out at the range.

I can't wait till we can buy suppressors on a 4473.
I see the barrel is already threaded on that one. Should make for a quiet gun!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

It's a Ruger American Ranch Rifle in 300 Blackout. It has a 16.12" barrel (threaded for a 'can')

That was a lot more thorough and to the point answer then mine. [:D]

Nice looking gun and group!
