I'm now officially torn between a Ranch g2 in 5.56 or 22 ARC.

I have so much brass and so many 75g/77g bullets that 5.56 may win out

Any issues with the Jard trigger in the OEM stock?

Nice to know that there is no way for a bad outcome.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'm 90% leaning towards the 5.56 right now, but will probably end up with an ARC eventually anyhow.....

Comparing a new caliber, needing dies, needing brass to the piles of 5.56 brass and 77g/75g bullets already on hand seems like a no brainer.

Factory 75’s and 88’s are cheap for the ARC.
Not 223 cheap, but cheap.

No need to reload if you didn’t want to.

I reload for 5.56/223 already. I've got thousands of cleaned, primed Lake City brass and thousands of 75s and 77s to load.

I meant for the ARC.
You could shoot factories for a while.

But I get the 223 cheapness. I’m there myself.

I’m already in a nice little Ranch in 5.56, but dang if that new Gen 2 Ranch Patrol isn’t appealing. I particularly like the heavier barrel with no flutes, and no muzzle brake. And black cerakote on a black stock looks good. I’d likely mount an Arken LH-4.

I hadn't seen that. I'll immediately take the brake off, and heavier barrel wouldn't suck.

I have an "extra" LH4 4-16x sitting on the shelf

It’s nice to have good people help with important decisions.

There is no brake on the Patrol model, just a thread protector.
