Ruger american stock

[Hill.jam]

I have a ruger american 6.5 predator. Looking to upgrade the Tupperware stock? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Magpul is likely the cheapest.

Do you have any experience with the magpul stock?

It’s much better than the factory stock. It is heavy! I wouldn’t want to tote it up and down any mountains

Did your accuracy change after you replaced your stock?

Put a B&C on my 6CM American Predator. Had to get a regular Ruger American mag for it, which I didn't mind. I like it a lot.

Meant to add, B&C is a bit pricy but you can offset it by selling the original on eBay. Mine was a new AI style one and I sold it for $160ish.

Actually bought it from a member on here. It is one of the most accurate rifles I own.

How hard was it to swap to b&c stock?

Boyds sells several stocks that fit the Ruger American, wood laminate in a large selection of stain colors and finishes.

Super simple. Use tool that came with American Predator (if yours is the AI style) to remove the mag release, then take out the two action screws. Install B&C stock on barrelled action using the same two screws and the trigger guard that B&C provides. Pop in magazine from Ruger ($30 or so on Ebay, SWFA, Midway etc). Voila. I put a Timney trigger on mine while I had it taken apart too,
