Is A RED DOT Any Good On the Ruger PC Carbine???
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2022
- As I progress with the Ruger PC Carbine, I have put a few hundred rounds down range. After using iron sights I wanted to start to experiment with options...more specifically, red dot optics. In this video I get a red dot mounted to my rifle to get it dialed in and give it a try it in a practical 100 round test. I definitely think this is the way to go!!

I know I'm a month late to the party, but I took the route you mentioned at the end. I got myself a reasonably priced red dot from Primary Arms replaced the factory fore end with an MI M-Lock rail and shhot the heck out of the Ruger PCC. This is the first PCC I've owned and I can't believe the fun I've been missing. I zeroed mine for 50 yards and am hitting man sized steel 100% of the time.
I have same PC...if you don't mount red dot on the hand guard you never have good precision..no matter what red dot use. Because of the take down have some play between the shasis and barel..I try lot..so believe me just put red dot on the top of hand guard and its start to shoot very precise
Excellent video topic with the red dot on the Ruger, good commentary & great editing at the range. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I appreciate it. Trying to keep things interesting and informative to the best of my ability. I love videos with topics that force me to get to the range! Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed your enthusiasm for learning. Thanks for being real.
Thanks for watching! I feel like many channels fail to show the learning process/curve when it comes to firearms. I think people are probably afraid to show their weakness. I found after running my first channel that I learned way faster by exposing my weaknesses...lots of great advice comes out of it...and I ignore the haters anyway. Thanks again for the support!
Excellent video! Would love to see additional magazine setup or at least bump in the night setup
I put a HOLOSUN AEMS circle/dot sight on my Chassis PC carbine (MAGPUL stock version). I mounted it on the BARREL Pic rail so it would always remain zeroed! The AEMS is, IMHO, about the ideal carbine "red dot" with good NV vision and great ruggedness.
-> Also I added MAGPUL MBUS sights that are co-witnessed with the AEMS sight.
->To get my cheek weld height so I had instant eye-to-reticle alignment I added a MAGPUL 1/4" high snap-on cheek piece. Fast and inexpensive compared to a new lower red dot mount.
I like my PC Carbine. Mine is the standard furniture with the Midwest adaptor for my light. I have a cheap Bushnell dot and was impressed how ell this gun shot indoors at 25 yards. I hope to try it at longer ranges outdoors in the spring, Thanks.
I have my ruger pc carbine set up with a holoson red dot on a skeletonized riser so I have the irons as a back up. I absolutely love this set up
Thanks for the tip about the optics. Just bought a pc carbine and looking at mods.
I think you'll like it... Is a fun gun to shoot... Pretty accurate too
I can assure anyone…I put a RED DOT scope on my Ruger PC-9 Carbine and wasn’t the least disappointed! It annihilated a 3” circle on a target at 50 yards and is very lethal at 75 yards!
Safety first then Practice practice practice .
Fine gun, your doing well. Thanks
Heck yeah. They’re great on there. Open sights on these are great. But yes a red dot is perfect.
It is on mine and I love it
You have to sit down behind it on a bench with a bipod. Then you can truly see how accurate it can be.
Vortex spc-ar2. Not zeroed yet. Looks very promising.
Put it as far down the receiver you can and still see well. The further down, the more of what's around your sight picture you can see. Closer to your eye blocks your view around your optic.
Glock mags of 15,17, and 30 rnds with a AimPoint non magnifying red dot and an OLight is a great combination for home defense with Critical Defense 9mm.
I do like the non-magnifying red dot. I have a nice streamlight that has been an awesome go-to for the weapon light.
I do need to get some glock mags though...I think that will be a good move. I still only have the standard ruger mag
Jawbone Tactical makes a trigger release for your trigger finger
The laser boresighter only got me on the paper. I still had to use about 20 rnds at 40 yards to properly sight it in. After buying the carbine in 2018 I'd slightly get off zero each time I disassembled it but oddly it's "settled down" and maintains zero even after take downs.
If your zero is walking after take down check your barrel nut. I have mine set to the point where the lock up is a click away from too tight. No issues with losing zero.
@@Thizlamic I have not zeroed my red dot yet but I did find the lockup to feel more snug after I adjusted the barrel nut just like you said.
Check the barrel nut to be sure it's snug. Also after you re assemble the rifle, cycle the action three or four times. It will settle itself in and be accurate.
Try a vortex spar 2 great fast and accurate. I have even shot scopes great little gun
I love Vortex optics! I'll take a look! Thanks for the advice!
Gonna add the binary trigger to it ?
Getting ready to do the same ..thanks PS: how did your accuracy compare when you shot iron sights ! Be interested with a rest also ??
My iron sights were pretty good overall but I'm definitely still leaning. The more I shoot the more I appreciate a good optic. I have a few red and green dot sights now and it's pretty sweet how tight you can get it but it greatly varies at different ranges. I find iron sights are better on average ones a wider range of distance. Both have pros and cons
What hoodie is that?
Nice video. Can you post a link to the light-laser unit?
That's the Olight Odin GL with an m-lok adapter.
@@OuterLimitless2 Thank you
The acid test for me if using the PC carbine for a serious reason like a target which is shooting back is can I shoot to kill not at 100 yards but 10 or 20 yards. Is it useful in close spaces, like my house? How does it compare with a 9mm pistol at these distances? You should get some tactical training which allows you to have a better impact on the jerk who has broken into your home without pissing your pants! Adding an alarm system which floods the outside of your entire home, has a noise level above 100dcb! It should also inform the police of your situation! It makes sense to choose the Glock magazine adapter which is included with your PC ( buy a 30 rd magpul for instance) and works better than the standard Ruger, and buy a Glock 9mm and you have a system amenable to protecting you on just about any situation where your peace and quite has gone to heck! It is also useful to arm and train your wife to back you up!
Just an observation your gripping your PC like its a Garand. Lighten up on that grip your groups will tighten up at distance. Also consider a butt stock pouch and keep a mag or two in there to offset the weight of the light out front.
Heavy? As General Mattis said (paraphrasing): I knew our country was screwed when I saw teenagers struggle to put their bags in overhead compartments.
Put a Sig Romeo 5 on mine, works very well!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the optic on this rifle... So fun and seemingly accurate
Same here. Waiting for my Midwest Industries forward rail to arrive in the mail. ❤
Use the same on mine. You can even see the iron sights as well!
I have one on mine and you can still use your irons. Optics break- irons are forever 😎
Which optic is this? Maybe i missed it. @@OuterLimitless2
what did u use to set up your go pro? Thanks
I found an offset mlock mounted go pro mount on Amazon. Not certain if the brand.
Something I’d say try… lean into it more. You’re almost set back at the hips and shoulders still. LEAN into the gun. shoulders more forward. Not so shoulder parallel with the target.
If anything. It almost looks like it’s too long for you. So maybe take one of the spacers out? Not sure. Just trying to help
How low at 25 yds to get 30yd zero? Anyone know?
OL2 -- Q is the model , 19116. ? thanks- ~ JDS/CT. -- I am thinking about getting the ruger 9mm. ( 12-5-23 )
Yes 19116... I forget which has the threaded barrel but mine is the non threaded
thank you. - your piece looks like agood set up. ~. JDS/CT@@OuterLimitless2
If you ever can, try shooting a Steyr rifle.
Wow... nice stuff! I like their handguns!
@@OuterLimitless2 I have several Steyr rifles and each one of them shot through the bullseye and then shot through the previous hole in the bullseye when sighting them in. They are super accurate and consistent.
And 9mm has more velocity with longer barrel.
Is it okay if you're still a new-ish shooter to opt to put a red dot on your gun? I'm going to pick one of these up and the idea of putting a red dot on it really appeals to me
I'm new... I say do it
Yes. Yes yes, put the red dot on, it is the best thing you'll ever do !
My Ruger is superb...a few belly rubs and he brings out the lipstick....
Should I use a rifle right red dot
Definitely I would say
Red dot on a carbine is much easier to use than on a hand gun.
Which ammo ?
Not 100% certain... either Tullamo or S&B
2" at 10 yards with a carbine? I have a Ruger PCC and at 10 yards they are always under a half inch. Try shooting from a rest and you'll see it's not the gun or the optic.
10 and 15 yards shoots....must be s......g me....this is no dam god. What ammo are you using.
The only thing I have done to my carbine is paint the front site. Don't need nor want all the latest and greatest fads. A bad guy breaking into my house uninvited will not really care what isn't mounted on my carbine.
If you're worried about fighting WW3 with your carbine, than go for it. If you want to drive tacks, mod it like a 68 HEMI Dodge Charger.
Is it any good? It's like cheating. I love it. The PCC is way better with it because its iron sights kinda suck.
14 minutes wasted.
