I picked up my Ruger AR in 300 Blackout after the mandatory waiting period for a background check. My scope arrived too so I got it mounted yesterday. The Ruger is the Optics Ready model with the free floating handguard which is what I prefer. I have all my loading components so will be putting together some test loads and heading to the range probably next week. First experience with this caliber so it will be fun to figure it out. I will probably just stay with supersonic velocities although this caliber is designed for subsonic. Just another tool in the tool box.

I changed my rings to an AR mount and was able to move the scope further forward. This has been an interesting discovery. The AR mount is .25 - .50 inch higher than the rifle rings and this possible it contributing to the difference??????? Anyway, I’m liking this setup better.
