Have the Ruger Ranch Gen 1 and I love the gun. Carry it a lot honestly

I have a Ruger American Gen 1. It shoots, lights out. I love it.

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.

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.

If you are interested in a single shot, Inverness Outdoors has a CVA Scout in 350 Legend. it's the blue/syn.

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.

Bullshit!!! I’ve knocked plenty of deer down!! Especially with the 35 Whelen. Plenty with the 350 legend. One was a 185 8pt. 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.

It's physically impossible.

Ive turned some upside down. It happens

oooooooook lol

Ok!! If you say so

Sorry guys was not trying to start a fight note to self don’t use the term knock down power

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

You used the correct terminology. My 350 Legend with the 180gr soft points has plenty of knock down power. It even knocks down big Axis bucks in Sonora Texas!!!

Guess tip over energy is the correct term.

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…

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.
