Congrats on winning one. Was  looking into one for Ohio. But read a lot of stuff complaining about lack of blood trails. Let us know how u make out.

No experience with it but seems popular in states that only allowed shotguns but now allow straight walled rifle cartridges. It seems like a mid range caliber. 150-225 yards tops(depends on shooter). I'd grab a 2-7 or 3-9x Leupold or vortex. Sight in to be 1 1/2" high at 100 yards.  

Congrats on the win.

They are a straight wall, close range rifle. Soft kicking and nice shooting. Unfortunately, not legal to hunt in NJ. Leopold makes a scope specifically for this caliber.

My son shoots Winchester XP 150gr out of his. Hes killed about a dozen hogs from 60-175lbs with it so far. Walmart here sells them

I shoot the Winchester 180 gr out of it.  Killed hogs up to 250lb no problem at all.  Very soft shooting and fun.  Put whatever scope you want on it I would keep shots under 200 yards... more like 150.  Kids can shoot it also.  My daughter killed two 100 lb hogs with one shot at 50 yds. (shoulder shots). Just keep an eye out for feeding issues that some of the ruger Americans (1st generation) have. Seems like the clips moves a bit and causes the issue.  Such an absolute pleasure to shoot & has become one of my favorite calibers to shoot.

Awesome mid range hunting caliber. I hunt in PA special regs area, used to shotgun only. I just harvested a doe last week, Crop damage permits. I took 75 yard quarter to facing shot. Pretty much bang and flop. She ran only few feet and was dead. I am hunting with Hornaday Whitetail 170 grain Ammo. 

Congrats on winning a fine rifle!

How soon will we be able to hunt with them here? 

I'm holding my breath...

I have a Leupold 350 legend scope on mine and use the Winchester deer ammo. It is a tack driver and I have harvested every deer I have shot with it. Great rifle and good luck with it.

 

SS!
