Very first time taking my new Ruger Ranch Rifle in 7.62x39 to the range. First let me say that I am not all that good a shot, and my range equipment is not all that good either. OK, there are my excuses, lol. Ammo used was brass cased Laupa that is 15+ years old. The rifle did good. The stock is made out of cheap plastic, and it feels cheap. After figuring out the mag release the mags released without any problem. These targets were shot at 25 yards. Next week I plan to sight it in at 50 yards where I will leave it. I had other guns to sight in so once I got it good at 25 yards I moved on to the other guns. The "flyer" on the first target was not a flyer, but taking a shot to start adjusting the scope. The first target is five shots, the other two targets are three shot groups. The scope is a Burris 4X Compact Short Mag.
The gun worked flawlessly, without any problems at all. Overall I am very happy with its first time at the range and I am looking forward to next week when I will get it sighted in a 50 yards. I really think that the bad rap that 7.62x39 gets concerning accuracy is due to using cheap ammo. This Laupa ammo did great. Overall, a successful day at the PRPC.
