Just got a gen 2 ranch 5.56 and took it out yesterday for a quick on paper session. I should have taken my AR out also for comparison as that muzzle break is a thumper. I picked the gen 2 up having kids and liked the option of shortening the LOP as needed. To me the best LOP for kids that I saw when buying my son's 22 was 11" on the KRG bravo chassis/stock. To me seeing that the 2 LOP spacers are $30 just raise my gun price $20 and include them from the get go. I'm much less likely at this point to mess with buying them. Overall I liked my first session with the gun and wish my Remington 700 Tactical .308 had this bolt knob on it as the action moved so nice.

very nice

I love the concept, I always struggle with to short rifle stocks. Not sure how i feel about the plastic stock. I’m probably going to get a Boyds stock, like i have on all my other Ruger rifles.

I like the system for length of pull adjustment, looks to be better designed than that offered by Savage.

Can you remove the space and just put the bumper back on or does it have to have a spacer?

HOW do you remove the muzzle break on this thing? It's on there way too tight.

Is there a plan to make adult sized rifles with real barrels of 24-25"?

Not sure why they redesigned the stock system should have just stuck with the ruger American rimfire stock blue print. Ruger still makes you buy spacers so it doesn’t really save us any money, the rimfire system also looks better in my opinion. Is ruger going to make an adaptor kit to make the mag flush? Or just turn it into an internal non removable box mag? So far the mag is the deal breaker

does it come in black?

Let me guess, limited calibers in #Lefthand like #Ruger has been known for? This has been the reason I have yet to own a Ruger American to this day. All the cool calibers I’ve wanted, Ruger didn’t release in their #Lefthand models. Thankfully companies like #Savage has released lefties in the calibers we want.

Held one a local shop..way too short. Im 6'1"

I’m disappointed that it didn’t come with the shorter length of pull adjustments in the box… and only one mag? Come on, Ruger. When did you get so cheap?

That looks like way too much time and $ on the butt stock. If you buy if for a kid that he can grow up with it makes sense, other wise it's cheeky.

I am SO disappointed in this gun. Of all the amazing upgrades to the gun there is one that makes it unbuyable, the safety. That is the absolutely WORST place to have a safety. I am so tired of guns over time, having the safety wear down to the point where every time you shoot the recoil knoces the safety. I think a safety is very important, but I would rather have NO safety than that safety. Additionally, it is simply egonomically the absolutely worst spot to have a safety. I have so many Rugers and I'm so disgusted by this I'm not sure I'm ever going to buy another ruger again.

I like how they sell all these things with the gun and not separately
