Ruger American Ranch rifle

Stock

What grabs your attention instantly is the synthetic stock. It is a pretty standard moulded design, great for real-world stalking or foxing. The fore-end, though of hollow construction, has been strengthened by criss-cross plastic braces laterally that stop flex, which would otherwise destroy accuracy. For a better grip there are moulded-in raised finger grooves with stippled additions.
I like the overall texture and colour; it is not your normal black or green but a matt-finished flat dark earth. There is also a moulded-in trigger-guard and, combined with a synthetic magazine, there is nothing to rust, except the metal sling swivel studs.
