LOL, I saw that!
I love my Ruger American (above) and that even made me cringe. It was hard not to comment.

Ruger American® Rifle Generation II Ranch Bolt-Action Rifle Model 46992

Cruising Rugers website (mostly was looking for at the new Scout) and noticed the Ruger Ranch 350 legend is shipping with h a flushfit mag. Reckon Ruger decided that we weren’t all wrong and started to ship with DuraMags??

Read a little further and they have the Ranch with flushfit labeled as “New” and the 350 legend with normal mag length further down the page listed as “limited availability “, same rifle far as I can tell with just different mags, different item numbers.

Kinda strange but we are talking about Ruger so…….

Anyone else having issues with the scope rail coming loose? This is the second time now even with loctite and cleaning the oil out

Ruger has added “scout” rifles to the line up 5.56 and .308.
Dimensionally, they look the same as the ranch line.
Gun talk had Ruger make them a scout rifle as well.

I don’t need another gun. But, I always liked the look of the scout rifles.
My ranch 6 arc is still in the box.
Long story, just haven’t had interest in shooting,

All of my Ruger American rifles that came with an AR magazine, came with a DuraMag magazine.

Jay-

How recent was this? I bought a Ranch 5.56 in July or August and mine only came with a 10 round Magpul.

Let me backup….

I meant DuraMag flush fits. The 350 legend I referenced states it comes with a flushfit mag and from the stock photo it looks like a DuraMag.

Why is it strange? An item with a different style of accessory included in the package gets its own sku in almost every industry. I would say that Ruger recognized that the majority of the people using a 350 Legend will be hunting with them and are trying to make that gun more user friendly for hunting.

The last 3 Gen 2 Ruger American rifles I bought (2x 22 ARC and 1x 6mm ARC) all came with 10 round Duramag magazines. Sounds like they now have Duramag as a partner and have seen that Duramag can supply the 4/5 round flush fits in a sufficient amount to supply them for distribution as factory offerings. I look forward to Ruger continuing to offer new options at budget pricing for the common man to get good access to precision firearms at a price that lets them enjoy shooting.

Strange because it seems a whole lot easier to just change the magazine instead of making a new sku. The mags hold the same amount of ammo, ones flush and the other isn’t. I agree on the vast majority of people wanting an easier to carry and sling flush mag, hence the reason we have discussed the DuraMag flushfit on this very thread so often. Heck, it’s the reason I have bought 8 or 9 DuraMag flushfit a myself.

Back to your earlier statement…
So your AR style Americans came with a DuraMag flushfit?

 

[Sixpack]

Nevermind. I see your post that hit while I was typing

Thanks and I agree it is a good thing!

Want to sell the ranch? Lol

It comes down to showing the accountants/management what sold and what didn't sell to justify changes in the product line. If it was a small time gun manufacturer, sure you just change the magazine and be done with it but when you are a major manufacturer and you have people ordering things based on a sku number that never see the actual gun before the order you can't do that. If I ordered 10 of the the RA 350 Legend rifles and wanted just the flush fit magazine because my customers wanted that style and I needed some for stocking the shelves and got 10 with the 10 round mag (the 5 round is the same length and form factor as the 10 round magazine, I tried the 5 round when the flush fits were unavailable) I would be pissed. Now I have to get a RA (return authorization) and try to get rifles with the right magazine delivered from the warehouse. With a new sku number issues like that are eliminated. This is very common in industry and not seen as an issue. Once all the large form magazines are sold the sku will most likely be frozen on that item and only referenced for warranty work.

What are the thoughts on putting money into these versus letting them be?

I have 3 Gen1 that all have the potential to shoot lights out. A 223 Predator, 6.5CM Pred and a .308 base.

I’ve been looking at the Magpul Hunter Lite stocks but am also a little worried about messing with something that is already working. I would like to move to AICS and away from the Ruger mags.

223 with AAC 75gr


6.5 with Hornady 143gr ELDX



308 with Federal 168gr Berger

 

[Motown]

Any certain tricks or tips to removing the stock from a gen 2?

Bought a 308 a few months ago and was going to pop an Mcarbo spring in it, but for the life of me I can’t get the action rear screw out. I realize it’s behind the magazine release, but it seems to be at a weird angle and I can’t get a bit or ball head allen wrench in there enough to get the screw out.

 

[huntsman22]

I toss money at 'em, if they shoot.....

never had trouble popping them apart.....
