Folding stocks for Ruger American?

[pinetarterry]

Howdy all, my daughter has a Ruger America 6.5 Creedmoor that she hunts with, but was hoping to find a chassis with a foldable stock. I think my options are some type of allumimum chassis with a AR style butt stock that has a foldable option. Does anyone have any recommendation in that regard? Alternatively I am also considering buying a Ruger American Gen 2 Ranch at 16.1 and throwing a suppressor on it as a way to shrink the packaging.

The only thing I’ve come across are the folding adapters for a chassis to AR15 buffer tube/carbine stock/pic rail for interface set up.

Quite a few options for an AICS mag gun such as the 6.5 Creedmoor.
I’m f you want to keep the AR15 style mags that come with the Ranch, Indian Creek Designs and Sharps Brothers are the ones I know of.

Also check compatibility between Gen 1 and Gen 2. Some chassis work for both and some don’t.

I have an Indian Creek Design with Gary's STFU and a Luth AR stock. Been real happy with it.

As it sits in that picture, it's 12.29#. Ruger American Gen 1 in .22-250 with 5 in the mag (metal), Weaver Tactical 3-15x50, and a Griffin Recce 5 suppressor.

I’m trying to go as light weight as possible for my build maybe max 9 pounds any other light weight recommendations?

Smaller scope, shorter barrel, no can, no sling and a plastic mag. Really depends on what your application is. I've seen some really creative ways to stiffen up the flimsy factory stocks. I also have a few KRG Bravos, but they're not lighter.

Do you have any pictures of your ultradyne set up? I’m considering this as a folding stock option for my son’s ruger American predator 6.5 creed.
