I have a Ruger American Ranch in 7.62X39 with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9X50 with the illuminated dot reticle. It's a cheap throw around rifle but very accurate! I have taken one buck with it. It makes a nice rifle for kids and women as it is light, short and has low recoil yet still shoots a .30 cal. bullet for better knock down/blood trails. I plan to let my girl friend use it this rut. I am not going to let her shoot one over 100 yards anyway. I converted mine to use AR 7.62X39 mags. It shoots and cycles the Hornady Black SST very nicely. I added a Matthews adj cheekpiece which I like a lot.
