I have 3 Ruger Americans in 223, 308, and 6.5 Creedmoor. They are the most accurate rifles in my safes and I have less than $1000 in all 3 combined. I have that much invested in some individual rifles. The Ranch, which you saw, and the Predator have a slightly heavier barrel and do tend to be a bit more accurate. But the standard models ain't bad. The Ranch only has a 16" barrel so muzzle velocity will be somewhat reduced, but they are very nice guns. My 223 is the Compact with 18" standard barrel. My brother has the Ranch in 223 and really likes it.
