Ruger American Ranch Rifle | 7.62×39 | 16.12″ | 5rd | 16976

The Ruger American Ranch is a bolt-action rifle chambered for 7.62×39 with a Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock and a compact, threaded cold hammer-forged barrel. It ships with a factory one-piece aluminum scope rail and a five-round Mini Thirty metal box magazine. The rifle features Ruger’s Marksman Adjustable trigger and a three-lug bolt with a short 70° throw for rapid cycling from the shoulder. A reliable, reasonably compact package, it suits brush hunting and recreational target shooting; a medium-power scope such as a Vortex Diamondback 3-9×40 (well under $1,000) is a practical optic pairing for this platform.
