About the Ruger American Ranch
The Ruger American Ranch is a compact bolt-action rifle built on the Ruger American Rifle platform and tailored as a lightweight utility or 'truck gun'. Chambered in .223 Remington (and rated for 5.56x45mm NATO), it pairs a 16.12-inch cold hammer-forged threaded barrel with a synthetic stock and feeds from AR-pattern detachable magazines. It uses Ruger's Power Bedding integral bedding block, a Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger, a tang safety, and a short 70-degree bolt throw for fast cycling in a handy package.
The Ranch configuration answered demand for a short, magazine-fed bolt gun that could run cheap AR-15 magazines, making it a popular budget-priced ranch and truck rifle in the United States.
