Yes I have the Patriot in 375 Ruger and I love it it is accurate functional and fun to shoot.
Now saying that I did make a couple changes.
First as you can see mine is a synthetic stock and without scope weight is 6.9 pounds. Was not to bad to shoot off hand but was a handful off the bench so I made a weight for in the stock that screws in to the factory recoil pad holes then I put a limb saver slip on pad on. It’s not the best looking pad but it does the job.
Also my first trip to the range I used a cheap set of scope rings which were destroyed by recoil which also destroyed factory bases a set of Tally Light Weights cured that problem.
When I got this rifle I would have been happy with 2” group at 100 yards the first 5 shot group started with 1 round hitting high about 9” made an adjustment and fired last 4 that is target in pic. The scope was bore sighted and that was first group. After I shot this group it was time to work on a load.
Ended up with a 200gr GS Customs HV at 3213 FPS and when I did my job it would print a clover leaf.
I always considered this rifle a medium range shooter well in a year that the deer where avoiding me like the plague the only shot I had was 427 yards and I was way off on my estimate it took me 4 shots to get range right with first two shots aimed slightly high on shoulder hitting under I was thinking range was 250-275
Third shot was with cross hair level with back still low. Forth shot was level with bottom of the ears and hit dead center of shoulder blade I have since gotten a range finder and made a brass plate with bullet drop chart on it.
The accuracy is there at least in mine the only feeding issue I had was from the spare magazine I got would throw second cartridge out of the action I opened up both and compared them. The spare had way more spring in it I trimmed it to same length as the other problem solved.
I have a medium bore that is functional accurate and less than $700 in rifle, scope, dies, powder, brass, and bullets.
Is it going to be a rifle that I can sale for profit no will it do it’s job as a hunting rifle yes.
