Ruger American Ranch as Youth Rifle

[Wanderson]

Is the Ruger Ranch 6.5g available in a compact version?
That’s what you want, the regular Ranch has a full LOP, not what I’d start a young shooter with.

I have a Ruger Predator 6.5g & Ranch .300bo. The 16” barrel on the Ranch is very light & short and have used it as a first firearm to train a new shooter. That new shooter now has a compact .300bo Ranch and when he gets bigger if he decides to keep the action will drop it in a Boyd’s stock or look for a used Ranch std. stock.
