I just bought a Ruger American Ranch .223 with the 16" barrel. It shoots 1 MOA with 55 vmax and Benchmark hand loads. It also does well with 69 and 77 grain Sierras. I bought it with Minute Of Varmint expectations, so I guess you can count me as one of the lucky ones because I'm quite happy with the accuracy. I know there are nicer and better quality rifles out there, but this one fills the niche of Truck Gun perfectly, and for the price it would be tough to beat in my opinion.
