Been searching high and low for a Ruger American Ranch in 7.62x39. Anyone have any leads on one? I recall Academy used to have them…. Ruger’s production seems low all around these days

Can't be of any help finding one, but this is what you can look forward to:
 The thing is a crazy amount of fun to shoot, and the muzzle flash with Tula ammo is a real crowd pleaser. |

From my thread here....
Linky "Yeah, I've literally been sending out weekly messages/emails to at LEAST 20 different vendors asking "...do you have any...". Finally got a hit" You've really got to hunt them down right now. Ultimately, I had luck not with an online vendor, but a local guy. |

With the Russian ammo ban. The Ruger American ranch in 7.62x39 is a flash in a pan - I no longer have interest in mine. And I had just found one last week….
My buddy and I had been saying, 22lr and steel case 7.62x39 were the only things affordable enough to shoot during the plandemic. x39 glory days are gone…. |

I have one new in the box Ive been sitting on. As soon as I took it out of the box I hated it. Shitty plastic stock with no monte carlo comb means your eye is directly behind the the bolt. Even mounting a scope as low as possible still requires a shitty chin-weld which is not really fun to shoot. I immediately regretted not waiting for a CZ 527.
Now CZ’s are impossible to find and I am considering a kydex cheek piece and the Nodak sights. |

I looked for a bolt action 7.62x39 rifle for a year before I broke down and bought the CZ527. It was really the only option at that time. I held off because I didn't want to pay the $700.00+ price tag. About six months later Ruger came out with their ranch in 7.62x39.
 Well I cannot say anything about the Ruger but I can say that shooting 7.62x39 out of a bolt action is cheap and a lot of fun. The CZ goes to the range any time that I take the nephews so that they can shoot more without spending a fortune on ammo.

It’s built to last, and stupid accurate with steel cased Brown Bear/Tula ammo. On a side note, Glades Armory makes a top of the line replacement bolt handle for the CZ 527 with a much larger bolt handle and bend to accommodate most optics with ease. Definitely light years better quality than the Ruger American series rifles. Only downside is pricey mags. |

I’m in the same Boat, I missed a few early this year and now regretting letting them pass me buy. I’d love a CZ or a Howa but they are definitely Unicorns….
I’m looking for one to mount a digital night vision scope to. If anyone knows of a good 7.62x39 or 6.5 Grendel bolt gun for a decent price shoot me a message or email. Thanks in advance David |

Just curious would those nodak spud sights fit on the 6.5 grendel version of this rifle? Does it have a different barrel diameter. They look pretty neat.
I was interested in getting that cz 528 in 7.62x39 this year but it have learned they aren't in production any longer. I saw one in person a couple years back but I bought something else. The poster in here mentioning the import ban makes me consider the 6.5 G since I already reload that. |

Just depends on the muzzle diameter. I don't recall any customers giving us any feedback on the 6.5G Ranch yet.

I searched for well over a year for one.
Two months ago I walked into a sportsman's warehouse and they had one on the rack. $499.00 plus had a $50 rebate. I walked out for under $500 with my new rifle. |

Found one locally at Academy a few weeks back via Academy.com. The price was $499, which is not the high-$300s we have seen in the past but still a fair price given today's market. If you have a local Academy (or two/three/four/five...) check the website often to see if it's in stock. I ordered mine online for store pickup and it it was put on hold immediately for p/u the next day. Easy, and no shipping/transfer fee.

I found one for $520, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. What kind of glass are we using on this? I really think the NDS open sites are super cool, I'm torn between that and say a 2x7 or smallish 3x9.

I don't need a big capacity but it wouldn't hurt either. I'm undecided on the placement of the mag catch. Super easy to use out front but it seems like a prime place to get hit or snag inadvertently. |

The DIP is metal which is probably a bit tougher but you still have the mag release up front in the breeze. |

Yeah, but per their website, it's a stiffer spring so it's not so easy to accidentally engage the mag release.

Just scored mine yesterday and will be shooting it tomorrow. I have short arms and need to cut the stock back an inch or so so I ordered a limbsaver buttpad also ordered a Matthews Fabrication adjustable cheek riser to help with eye relief.
I already have a 300blk and should have bought the x39 first and maybe not have bought the 300. I would have had no trouble with the stock but I always have to shorten a stock to fit me, wish this caliber would have been available in the compact model because it is already a 1 1/4 shorter stock. |
