Sportsmans’ Warehouse has Ruger American Ranch Gen 1 and II in stock in 5.56. Here’s the one I bought from them. Hoping my youngest (14) harvests a Coues buck with it a month from now.
You might be right. I don’t think there’s a stock option for a detached mag. The barrel I’m not sure about. I’ve only recently started diving into the 700s. But I was able to get a magpul stock with a detachable mag
I used to own a ruger gunsight scout bolt action in .223. Stainless barrel with a beautiful green wood grain stock. Lord how I miss that gun.
I have the Thompson Center Compass. It has the detachable mag and threaded barrel. OutdoorSuperStore had them at crazy prices with a rebate. If I remember right the gun with shipping and receiving fee was around $260
I have one of these and I love it.
I have had Varmint models in Remington 700s and Savage 110s. They both shoot well as the 223 is a very accurate load with good good powder and bullets. The ones I have owned would literally bug hole and you can pump the velocity up. They have 2 sweet spots. One at a lower charge usually about 2 grains less of H322 or Vit 133 lower than the max loads. The other loads that are incredible accurate are right on the border of being too hot! Back when I owned them Lake City was abundant and cheap. I would sort them by weight after trimming and cleaning them up. I could shoot groups in the 2s with either rifle. I can only imagine how well they would shoot with Lapua, Peterson or Alpha brass. I am also thinking about building a nice 223 as they way cheaper to shoot than the 300 PRC I thought I had to have. Im thinking about a Howa 1500 barreled action and good stock from Stocky's or HS Precision. The Howa's come with a 2 stage trigger and bottom metal and saves a lot of money. Good luck! I think you really enjoy the 223 no matter what brand you decide on.
