Hello guys, I am a new member. I have shot ruger m77 rifles for a long time. As hogs moved onto our place about 10 years ago, I have been wanting a ruger ranch rifle for so long! I finally got it! I picked up a 196 series stainless synthetic with a choate flash suppressor on it. I would apreciate any info and tips anyone could give me, accuracy I can expect, ect.
I also would like advice on a good quality sight for this rifle. It will mainly be my "truck gun" and 90% of the time will be shot at pigs at night 60-100 yards or so. I would like a good quality scope or sight that offers super quick target aquisition in low light or night situations with a wide field of view. Im also not rich so would like to find something not too terrible pricey. I know thats a tall order but any help is apreciated. A salesman at cheaper than dirt recomended an EO Tech sight and I loved it but the price started at 495.00.......which is exactly what I paid for the gun! Hoping to find something a little cheaper.
Would also apreciate any tips and info on making it as accurate as possible. Ive had several ruger rifles and love them, but this is my first mini 14. Thanks
