Ruger American Ranch .223, anywhere have them in stock?

Thought I'd chime in on my ranch. Love it. My brother and I both have one. Stretched it out to 300-400 yards the other day with 62 gr barnaul ,took out 3 balloons 3 shots.

That's great , seems like a handy little package. The trigger guard is my only concern as it looks like it's mounded in the stock . Does it feel solid?
 
Yeah the guard is moulded into the stock. It's pretty solid. I don't mind the polymer myself. It feels like magpul quality to me. I thought the plastic rotary magazines would be an issue but they have been really reliable also.

It's a good little shooter, but the QC isn't outstanding. To be expected at the price point I guess. My stock is a little out of alignment with the action. Even so, it went sub-MOA with 223 (not so much with 5.56). I carried it for hours my last time up north, and really appreciated the light weight.

Makes a good flash with milsurp and the short 16" barrel :d

What rings is everyone using on these?

I have a 3-9x40 busnnell 4200 elite, I am thinking of going with burris zee rings low height. From most pictures I see, people seem to be using med height.
 
Having a look at one of these myself in 556, are most owners happy with this rifle for the price point?

Al Flahertys has them listed in stock.
 
I have one, was very quirky for accuracy untill I pulled the stock off and clipped the plastic nubs left over from the mold. They were pressing against the barrel causing weird things to happen, all better now!
 
I wish tikka made a 16" version for 223 and 308. At 640$ you can pretty well get a tikka. Just like the smooth action and barrel quality for a more affordable factory rifle
 
Like the OAL and have a crap load of 556 to use up. Am a little leary of running that through a 223 rem marked only. Would make a good truck/ quad gun.
If the american ranch 223/556 came in stainless that would be a bonus. $621.00 at Al Flahertys.
