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.

Yeah, I saw that and consider it a bonus. It looks like the ranch but black with no fluted barrel.

I'll be fine with either the ranch or patrol. Whatever is in stock at Scheels will be coming home with me.
