Ruger Ranch Rifle in 556 with AR Mag

[Pootle]

What is the difference between these and the slightly cheaper version (that was also in 223/5.56) - just the 10 round vs 5 round mag???

These use the AR 15 magazines. The stock Ruger mags being limited to 5 rounds and less than stellar in function. The AR 15 mags feed better and function more reliably than the stock 5 round Ruger mag. Plus spare ar 15 mags are cheaper and readily available.

I put a 2x coupled pmag 30s on for lolz and they fit np
I like the ar styled mag release

Missed out.
I would be interested in one if they become available again.

So will there be another pre-order?

That was fast my American 556 AR is here.
They made a great job with the AR mag well, it's a snug fit.

Rifle is pretty small, this gonna be fun.
Thanks to Prophet and team. JP.

You wont regret this purchase.

Mine definitely prefers heavier bullets. 62 min but shines with 75's

Still have 200 rounds of Fiocchi 77 gr left from my Benelli MR-1 trousseau.

Just wanted to give an update on my Ruger american 556 AR. I've put 140 rounds through it now. It prefers the heavier rounds. I love the AR style mag release. Magazine fitment is snug and feeding/extraction has been great. This rifle is so much fun and I'm very pleased. Thanks Prophet River!

Anyone know how these compare to Mossberg patrol rifle in .223 (also accepts ar mags)?

I've owned both. the Ruger feels more solid. Especially the bolt.

 

[rethius]

Yes the patrol rifle definitely has a flimsy bolt!

I third this as well. Mossy bolt is definitely sloppy. Patrol has irons and an a2 flash hider tho, one of the only things this rifle is missing.

I haven't handled the Ruger American Ranch in .223 but I can definitely say the Mossberg patrol is front heavy. It's got a medium bull barrel and a very light stock, 90% of the weight is in front of the trigger. Made it unwieldy for its supposed purpose as a patrol rifle. I'm hoping the American Ranch is a lighter profile barrel

I agree with the above statement in addition to my previous comment.

Light and small rifle with a loaded 10 rounds mag, it weight under 7 pounds. Nice rig.

I got my American Ranch and couldn't be happier with the weight/balance. Not front heavy at all and balances like a dream.
