I am looking to add a .223/5.56 bolt action to the safe, and am leaning pretty hard towards the Ruger American Ranch. I handled one the other day, and although I felt like the stock fit pretty well and was comfortable, it felt a bit on the chintzy side. Definitely functional, I am not bagging on it, but it is what you would expect at that price point, while the rest of the rifle seemed to be nicer than I would expect at that price point.
I am wondering about options to swap out the stock if I were to go with the American Ranch, if I decided it needed it. One of the main things I like about the Ranch is the ability to accept AR magazines. Is there bottom metal available to put a boyds laminate stock on there, or are there other companies that make a hardwood, laminate, or nicer synthetic stock that works with the newer version that takes the AR magazines?
Thanks in advance of any info anyone has on that.
