Honestly I think the 350 shines the most in a AR15 and that would be my choice. But that’s not what you asked and I don’t want to be one of those guys. My vote goes to the Ruger American stanch as well. I just don’t think you can beat them for the money. I have a 350 Legend in an AR platform with a 16” barrel. I’ve killed a ton of animals with it shooting the Win 180gr soft points. I really like it for hunting feeders and water holes for axis in Sonora. If I’d go it again I’d probably go with an 18-20” barrel just to gain a little extra velocity. Other than that I find myself grabbing that rifle more than any other in the AR platform.

This is what i gonna get. This and my Hybrid would be fun shooting ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/L5pNLf7K/Screenshot-20250215-215349-Chrome.jpg) And, the new CVA Stainless Scouts are now out in 360 Buck Hammer. And If you reload you can use 30-30 brass and fire form.
Remember: It aint what you shoot...it's how you shoot it.

Beadlescomb has about convinced me it’s the perfect youth caliber for shorter ranges my son is currently shorting a 300 BO Ruger ranch rifle but was looking for something with a little more knock down power and really thinking about Ruger gen 2 in 350 legend

No such thing in knockdown power in a deer rifle. If it doesn't knock you down on your end, it's not going to do different on the other end.You need a literal cannon to actually knock a deer over.
People go to a lot of trouble to avoid a .223. Too easy, I guess.

Knocked him down right there. Matter of fact it turned him a flip. Knocked a 240lb boar hog down one afternoon. Knocked him down right where he stood. Knocked a few truck loads of the down with the 308. I can promise you there is a such thing as knock down power.

I do it with 7mm-08 140 gr. Winchester ballistic silvertips in the front shoulder inside of 150 yds. I had one this year that went about 15 yds after the hit but he was 260 yds out and I hit him 1 1/2” behind the shoulder while he was walking across a greenfield. It is the only round I deer hunt with.
They “Tip Over, fold up or whatever you want to call it” in their tracks. lol

I know a guy who got shot dead center in the chest with a PKM. It broke his sternum. I’d be willing to guess that much force would knock a man (or deer) down if they were standing…

People go to a lot of trouble to avoid a .223. Too easy, I guess. I was looking for something with a little more energy down range than the 300 black out did I get it right this time Mr howl There's a video on YouTube of a doe shot heart/lung with a .50 BMG. It ran off. You can't put enough energy on target in and of itself. What does what people think energy does is velocity of hydraulic action and fragments of the bullet acting on the nervous system. See above example of 7mm08 with 140gr ballistic tip. Classic. What you want to achieve is most easily done with a 223 and high shoulder shot placement. Most of the deer we shoot with a 223 collapse on the spot. You've probably already got an AR. There's no reason to avoid using it.
