That’s the second review I’ve seen with really average groups

They are really average shooters, just slinging shots.

My Gen 2 Grendel is printing .48” at 100, 5 shots with my 107 smk loads

Just got my gen2 today in 6.5grendel exactly like yours. Groups are sub par 1.5in to 2in. Last round hold open is junk. I load an empty case first then live rounds on top. Im tearing it down to the basics, re torque stock, scope base with locktite. Future thing will be budget chasis and steel 20moa base. I think its got .75moa in, just needs more break in and better fit and finish. Its a budget deer/hog gun. My boy will slay with it😂😂😂

I had similar results out my Gen II 223. I took the stock off and found some of the Splatter Paint on the V-Block. I cleaned it off and then cleaned up the barrel channel really good. Adjusted the trigger down to 3 pounds and made sure the stock was torqued. Then took off the scope rail, cleaned the mounting surface and screws/ holes and applied some blue loctight. Recounted the scope and re-torqued the mounts. Cleaned barrel reallyfood. Now its shootings much better. It just loves Honardy 75 gr BTHP and Black 62gr. Both are averaging around .65 to .80. It'll even shoot Tula 75gr right at 1.5. I have a Mcarbo trigger spring, just waiting to install it.

Nice. Ill try that and post another test with some other ammo.

Not sure about gen 2, but i know for a fact that the stock on the gen one with a bipod will destroy accuracy tests. Flimsy material puts pressure on the barrel.

I CAN SEE A TON OF MOVEMENT ON YOUR FRONT REST

interesting. I have a 6.5cm and saw a 308 in the gun shop. neither had the set screw nor the spring for the trigger adjust. they are just empty. both were 3.5# pull out of the box. Don't know if other calibers come with the spring and screw.

Those cows got opinions lol

Too many of them!

Try Hammer bullets

Need to work on that trigger pull.

How far were you shooting? My ruger mpr proof ar has better groups at 200 yards with Winchester target 55 grain

@NTXoutdoors

100 yards. I’ll try some out

What size scope and height rings are you running?

Yes it is

note to self, don't recommend this rifle to friends looking for a 223. Those groups were average. the other cal's of gen 2 rugers seem to be shooting better.

my ruger american 556 gets sub MOA with almost everything i put through it

I bought this gun several weeks ago and it took several trips to the range to determine the best ammo it likes. For me, the 62 grain Federal FMJ gave me the best groups followed by 64 grain. This is not the most accurate rifle Ruger has turned out. Am disappointed in Ruger’s performance and accuracy with this rifle.

I’ll try that one out. I feel like both me and the rifle can do better than the groups I got on camera. Shooting it some more I’m getting MOA with match ammo so I’m happy.

Do you know if 556 can shoot out of it. I think I heard it's not recommended

No. Chambered for .223 only. 5.56 can cause pressure issues.

Yes the ranch version is 5.56. The standard model is 223

"OK" is really not OK with a weapon. It should be "real darn good".

Theyre supposed to be only giving a 20inch bbl on standard long actions and magnums. Why the hell would you want a .270 that performs like a 6.8spc. I hate this short barrel crap. Ot otherwise would be ok.

I agree. I’d like to see them in a 24 inch.

I seen alot of 20inch 6.5prc's😂 They just bought a gun that shoots boutique creedmoor ammo😂 and getting needmoor velocity

I bought the same rifle. Ran just about every type of match ammo known to man and grouped like shit. I ended up sending it back to ruger for repairs and it still shoots like a total dumpster fire. I'm done with ruger!

Gun looks great, shoots like shit. Did I hear some ricochets?

Not impressive at all

To get better accuracy you have to have your own load of ammo not factory ammo 🤦‍♂️
