We are in a restricted hunting area in Pittsburgh areas' Allegheny County WMA 2B PA. Archery, ML, Shotguns Non-High power guns. I won a Ruger Ranch Rifle in 350 Legend at a 2023 NRA banquet. I hunt Almost every game with flintlocks most of my time. But the legend and bushmasters calibers are legal in Special Regulation areas. It's also great for the younger hunters. This rifle was for my grandson but I use it when he's in school. I sighted in at 100 & then 150 yds. I uploaded the 150 yd target but not sure you can view it. The 100 yd was a 3 shot, 3/4" group ( 1/4' up on center vertical line and the other 2 were touches 1/2" to the right of the 1st. They bullets were the FMJ 145gr JHP (Not 140gr written on target). In have 2 surgically repaired rotator cuffs and this has very nominal recoil and almost not felt.
