Won a Rifle!! - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

charrell71 · 05-19-2022, 08:38 PM

For the past couple of years I have been purchasing 1 or 2 of the Texas Ducks Unlimited gun giveaway calendars. Well Tuesday I finally won one!! Ruger American Ranch rifle chambered in 5.56. It has a threaded barrel, so I guess I need to buy a suppressor now.

Should be arriving in a couple weeks.

Nice! My dad won a Smith and Wesson pistol last year, surprisingly smooth transaction.

Congrats. This is the 3rd year I have bought one and hoping I can have a little bit of luck.

Tony Pic · 05-20-2022, 06:24 AM

Congrats! Good shooting rifle there.

BTLowry · 05-20-2022, 06:49 AM

Awesome

That is a hard to find caliber in that model

El Paisano · 05-20-2022, 06:50 AM

Good rifle. I just bought one in 300 blk, and I already had a Ruger Predator that will shoot 1/4" groups at 100 yds.
Congratulations.

JakeGraves · 05-20-2022, 07:11 AM

Those are awesome little rifles. I suggest you look into a KGM suppressor.

TCB · 05-20-2022, 07:17 AM

I've got 2 Ruger's in 6.5CM and they are lights out shooters. Congrats on a very cool win!!

JuDGe · 05-20-2022, 07:42 AM

That's great!

Heath · 05-20-2022, 07:54 AM

Congrats.

I won a Ruger American 6.5 Creedmoor with a Vortex Scope on Wednesday night at a conference. I am going to flip it and buy a new pistol.

PoppinPiggies · 05-20-2022, 08:25 AM

Awesome I'm still waiting on one of my calendars to hit!

bowhunterhelm · 05-20-2022, 08:28 AM

Very cool! I see the price of the Ruger American has gone up quite a bit...........just like every thing else.

Burnadell · 05-20-2022, 01:18 PM

Congratulations!

Thank you. The Texas Ducks Unlimited chapter puts out a calendar every year that gives away a gun everyday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday they give away 2. On July 4th and Christmas they give away an ATV. Calendars go on sale around July or August for the next year, so the new calendars should be going on sale in a few months.

I have that same exact rifle. Very fun to shoot and would make a great truck gun.

Texas Grown · 05-20-2022, 06:21 PM
