Got to play with my newly jailed YHM R2 today.  My Ruger American family is slowly growing.  Gonna be hard to fight the urge to add another one in 6.5 CM at some point.

RAR in 5.56 with a Leupold Rifleman 4-12x40

I'm trying to decide if I should submit a Form 1 and cut the barrel back to 11-11.5". Either way, it'll end up with a YHM QD mount.
I will not compromise!

What kinda accuracy are you getting out of that thumper?

Ruger seems to be one of the more prolific chamberers in .450, but nobody ever comments on their accuracy (which is a historical issue for Ruger).

I'm actually taking it out tomorrow for the first time to get it sighted in for a hunt this weekend.  I'll report back on the accuracy it produces.  I'll be putting the Hornady 250gr FTX through it.  My experience with the No. 1 rifles, which I love, are they either shoot lights out or shoot piss poor.  I had a 45-70 No. 1 that shot like absolute crap, and my No. 1 in 460 S&W Magnum also shot poorly.  I've had a couple Tropicals in safari calibers, though, that shot really good.  My 416 Rem Mag was sub-MOA.

With that said, my buddy who is a huge hunter has only hunted deer with shotguns his whole life.  He got a Ruger American Go Wild in .450 Bushmaster and asked me to sight it in for him.  I don't remember the group size but my final 3-shot shot group to confirm zero at 100 yards was sub-MOA with Winchester 250gr Extreme Point ammo.

@Seven-Shooter

Took it out today to sight in for hunting.  I fired 3 3-shot groups, and 1 5-shot group.  The rifle shot very consistently.  At 100 yards the 3 shot groups were as follows: 1.3", 1.5", and 1.5".  The single 5-shot group was 1.8".

It's not sub-MOA but I am perfectly content with that for hunting out to 250 yards which is the max effectiveness of the round.  I was also fighting the trigger which has an almost 5# pull weight, so it isn't great by any means.  Overall I think the accuracy is perfectly fine for a hunting rifle.

Sounds pretty good for lobbing a round that's almost 1/2" across.

That's nice. I wish Ruger would make more Mannlichers again. Maybe a Mannlicher lever action when they get their Marlin assets up and running.

Here's my 583 series Ranch Rifle. With a Tech Sight rear sight, a wood handguard, and Cogburn stripper clip guide. Really just a range toy that scratches my Garand/M1 Carbine/M14 itch while using 5.56 ammo that I already have plenty of.

The stripper clip guide is a bit finicky and definitely takes some practice to use well. But that's what you get from a rifle that wasn't really meant to feed from stripper clips. Hence, just a range toy. But I still like shooting it more than my AR.

Many pix of folks using early (Pencil barrel) Minis and folks using later "heavy barrel" Minis.  Accuracy claims widely different.

Apples to oranges.  Later "heavy-barreled" Minis shoot far more accurately than do the "Pencil-barreled "Early" Minis.

Even so, the Early Minis can certainly benefit from an "Accu-Strut" and perhaps some careful fitting of barreled action to the stock.

My early 185 series Mini, with many mods, shoots within 2 MOA all day long.
