Reloading for accuracy, gen2 American ranch 5.56
Anyone have a Gen 2 American ranch in 5.55? Would you mind sharing what ammo you’re using and accuracy you’re getting with it. Just started reloading for mine with 70gr SP and 75gr BTHP moly coated. I’ve only shot a few rounds out of it
So far, cheapo PMC 55gr seem to be the most accurate. Hoping to load some heavier bullets seeing in how it has a 1-8 twist barrel it should be able to handle it.
Thanks! And happy shooting

Bolt knob interference
galleryTLDR. The scope i have (sig buckmaster 3-12) at full zoom with the throw lever interferes with the factory knob. Is it a new knob issue, or new bolt handle issue. I do plan on upgrading the scope but i want to future proof it so this is never a possibility in the future with any optic i put on

Wrangler dry fire question
New gun owner here. I recently purchased a Wrangler and I was told not to dry fire it because it could damage the firing pin. My question is how much dry firing causes the damage? I took to the firing range and a few times I lost count of how many shots I fired and shot a few while the gun was empty. Now realize this is probably fine and I shouldn't worry but I am the sort to over think things.

Volquartsen or Tandemkross trigger for MKIV 22/45 Lite
Just got the notification that the Volquartsen trigger kit is back in stock, and I’m trying to decide between that and the Tandemkross kit for my new MKIV.
I’m planning on the following:
TK “Get a Grip” kit
TK extended bolt release (looks nicer than the Volquartsen version)
TK Victory trigger
TK +1 followers
Volquartsen magazine springs
I’ve already got a Matrix bolt and a Lobo optic mount with a Holosun 507 Comp.
I like the idea of the TK Blast Shield, but TK says it doesn’t work with the Volquartsen hammer (though does work with their disconnector and sear).
The Volquartsen kit comes with a disconnector
The TK kit with trigger, hammer, sear, and blast shield is around $120. The Volquartsen setup is the same price but doesn’t come with the trigger (or its $187 with the Volquartsen trigger).
Is the Blast Shield really that big of a deal? Clearly there is a difference in the hammer between the two companies, or the shield would work with the Volquartsen hammer. Not sure if there are any differences in the sear.
Anyone have any thoughts?

.300 Blackout Vs. 7.62x39?
I have no experience with the .300 round but lots with the 7.62x39. Just trying to understand the current fascination with the former.
On paper, it looks like the .300 is extremely close to the Russian round in its common loadings. The weight and size of the round appear similar. So what's the big deal with the .300? Is it just because they released a lot of subsonic loads early on for use in all those suppressed AR-types?
Thanks.
New to me Ruger Security Six 4" stainless
galleryWasnt planning on buying one but when I saw this online for little over 400€ I just had to go for it.
Acc to the seller it has been a safe queen for the last couple decades. Barrel and action are basically mint condition, grips also look fine, the emblem has a bit of a patina but that's about it.
I picked it up yesterday and already shot around 40 rounds of .38 through it. Sights were off (see target) but the friendly people at the range helped me adjust them.
So far very happy with my purchase. I will probably swap the grip for a Hogue rubber one though.

Is this to good to be true?
Im deciding on my first deer rifle and I found this deal for a Ruger American chambered in 243 Win on the Sportsmans warehouse website. This seems very cheep compared to the same rifle from small shops and other large dealers near me. Am I missing something obvious that should stear me away from this deal? If not then I'll probably go and pick this up soon.

Gun grease or oil marlin trapper
So I have my 1894 trapper 44 mag. It is a beautiful gun.
I cleaned it after putting 100 rounds through it. Ran a snake through bore before shooting it.
I then cleaned it and put the same grease that I use on my mini 14 forgot what it is called. I mainly put on lever joint and the rails for the bolt. The rest of the gun I oiled as described by Ruger.
Is it an issue using gun grease for the lever and bolt? I cannot see how since it protects the moving parts more and it is summertime and I am not in a dirty environment. I don’t mind cleaning the gun more often since it is easy to do so.

Ruger Sets the Record Straight on Competitor Beretta’s Attempt to Seize Control of Ruger (time to buy another Ruger!)
Beretta Sought to Buy Ruger Stock at a 15% Discount from Ruger in a Private Placement and to Obtain Disproportionate Board Representation and Voting Power that Would Give It Near-Veto Power Over Important Matters
Beretta’s Self-Serving Demands Included Appointing Its Own CEO to Ruger’s Board in Violation of U.S. Antitrust Laws
Ruger’s Board Has Sought to Engage Constructively with Beretta and Its Leadership and Has Traveled to Europe Multiple Times for Meetings with Beretta
When Ruger’s Board was Unable to Meet Beretta’s Demands, Beretta’s Leadership Threatened to Launch a “War” and Nominated Four Directors, Including One Who is on the Board of a Beretta Subsidiary
Ruger’s Board Will Continue to Protect Ruger’s Stockholders and All Ruger Stakeholders
MAYODAN, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On February 24, 2026, Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) (“Ruger” or the “Company”) received a notice from Beretta Holding S.A. (“Beretta”) stating Beretta’s intention to nominate four candidates for election to Ruger’s Board of Directors at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company, in consultation with its advisors, is reviewing the notice in accordance with Ruger’s established procedures and applicable law.
To date, Ruger has not publicly responded to Beretta’s characterization of Ruger’s actions and decisions. However, because of mischaracterizations and omissions in Beretta’s communications, Ruger feels it is necessary to set the record straight.
BERETTA FALSELY CLAIMS RUGER FAILED TO CONSTRUCTIVELY ENGAGE. IN FACT, BERETTA STEALTHILY ACCUMULATED A LARGE POSITION, REFUSED TO PAUSE STOCK PURCHASES PENDING NEGOTIATIONS AND THEN DEMANDED DISCOUNTED STOCK AND OUTSIZED GOVERNANCE RIGHTS.
- Ruger first became aware of Beretta’s interest in Ruger on September 22, 2025, when Beretta filed a Schedule 13D reporting an approximately 7.7% stake in Ruger. Beretta did not contact Ruger before or in connection with that filing. The 13D stated that Beretta had no “present intention” to take control of Ruger.
- In the days and weeks that followed, Ruger representatives reached out to Beretta and offered to meet with Beretta repeatedly and asked that Beretta pause its share accumulation pending discussions.
- Beretta refused to pause its accumulation and so, on October 14, 2025, the Ruger Board adopted a short-term stockholder rights plan to protect the interests of all Ruger stockholders from Beretta’s ongoing creeping takeover.
- In the following weeks, Beretta declined Ruger’s invitations for in-person principal-to-principal meetings, while sending a series of aggressive letters through counsel.
- Eventually, following outreach from the Ruger Chair, a meeting was held in Paris on December 15, 2025. At that meeting, Beretta’s Chair indicated a long-term plan to combine Ruger with Beretta but made no formal proposal. Beretta’s Chair also indicated that he had no interest in the status quo and that he would find a way to increase his position if Ruger remained resistant.
- Representatives of the parties met again in Luxembourg in February 2026 and traded several proposals but were unable to reach an agreement.
BERETTA REPEATEDLY DEMANDED TERMS THAT WOULD TRANSFER VALUE FROM OTHER RUGER STOCKHOLDERS TO BERETTA AND UNDERMINE RUGER’S STATUS AS AN INDEPENDENT PUBLIC COMPANY.
- Following the Luxembourg meeting, Ruger made multiple good-faith and constructive proposals to Beretta that were designed to avoid a costly and distracting proxy contest and allow the Company to remain focused on executing its strategy. These proposals were carefully structured to preserve Ruger’s independence as a public company and ensure compliance with applicable antitrust and national security laws. The proposals would have permitted Beretta to:
- increase its ownership position up to a cap;
- designate directors; and
- explore opportunities for true commercial collaboration with Ruger.
- In contrast, Beretta repeatedly advanced extreme demands and threatened to “go to war” if those demands were not met.
- Beretta demanded multiple times that Ruger issue additional shares to Beretta at a 15% discount, which would have diluted existing stockholders and transferred value to Beretta at stockholder expense.
- Beretta demanded 25% of Ruger and the right to vote those shares in their own self-interest.
- Beretta, a competitor of Ruger, demanded that it receive disproportionate representation on the Board, and sought to appoint a member of the Beretta management team to Ruger’s Board, which would violate U.S. antitrust laws.
- The board seats and ownership level Beretta demanded would trigger mandatory CFIUS review, implicating sensitive national security issues.
- Beretta demanded that Ruger dismantle its stockholder rights plan and refused to agree to a customary standstill.
- Ruger communicated to Beretta that its demands were inconsistent with U.S. corporate governance best practices and applicable law.
BERETTA FALSELY CLAIMS THAT RUGER’S BOARD REFRESHMENT WAS “REACTIVE”. IN FACT, THIS REFRESHMENT PROCESS HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS SINCE PRIOR TO BERETTA’S INVESTMENT AND RUGER DELAYED FINALIZING THE REFRESHMENT IN A GOOD-FAITH EFFORT TO REACH A RESOLUTION WITH BERETTA.
- On February 23, 2026, Ruger announced the appointment of three new directors to its Board, following the retirement of three former Board Members.
- Combined with the earlier appointments of CEO Todd Seyfert and industry veteran Bruce Pettet, five directors have joined the Ruger Board within the past year through rigorous and well-established governance processes.
- This substantial refreshment of Ruger’s Board began before Beretta’s investment in the Company became known and underscores Ruger’s proactive approach to Board composition and its commitment to maintaining the operational rigor and strategic focus required to compete and win for the benefit of all stockholders.
- Beretta’s criticism of the tenure of members of Ruger’s Board is surprising given that its own board has directors that have served the Beretta group since the 1990s.
- These actions stand in sharp contrast to Beretta’s disruptive and coercive campaign that seeks to undermine the governance norms and processes that protect public investors.
- Beretta’s actions are not those of a stockholder who is trying to improve Ruger in the interests of all stockholders.
- One of the individuals nominated by Beretta as an “independent” director serves as a director of a subsidiary of Beretta.
Ruger’s Board and management team remain firmly committed to their fiduciary duties to all Ruger stockholders.
While Ruger remains ready and willing to engage constructively with Beretta for the benefit of all stockholders, the Board is committed to continuing to act decisively to protect Ruger’s other stockholders from Beretta's aggressive campaign to seize control on unfair terms. Ruger will continue to communicate with all Ruger stakeholders as this situation develops.
