Ruger American Rimfire Long Range Target

[Mystic Precision]

Came here for a rifle, left with SCIENCE

Ultimately, that is what precision shooting IS.. Understanding the physics, math and a dash of chemistry, of putting all those pointy thingys on target.

I've got the Ruger American Long Range Target rimfire rifle as my new toy.
I am yet to install a decent scope on it and still waiting for the bipod delivery.

This one is joining my Ruger American Ranch Rimfire (16" barrel). I wanted to see what is the difference between the two.
The way how my LRT is equipped right now, I cannot compare with the smaller rifle just yet.

I am interested to see wat other people do with their LRT, what upgrades are done and what are the shooting results.

Here are my two rugers

And first shooting results at 50yd, which I am not too impressed with (The top left group was my sighting of the scope):

Time will tell how the LRT settles in. Mine improved after ~500 rounds
Remember to re-torque the action screws. I just left them at 35
