Haved owned a Ranch rifle for 5-6 years now. Have determined it to be very reliable. Will fire lead under ANY circumstances. Although great for advancing targets, plan on paper plate coverage at a hundred with open sights. Add a 6x scope and you are still firing on the plate. Add 3-4 c notes with of work on it and you are still shooting paper plate targets at 100. Just grab an Armalite and be content with your purchase.
