If I'm not mistaken the stock is the same, it's the nodules that are different.
The compact comes with two if you want longer, order the one you want. |

I'm curious to see the outcome. I know the standard would work just fine for me, but wondering if the compact would also be comfortable so the kids could shoot it.
The reality is both threaded barrel versions have the same 18" barrel, and you can buy the stock module for $15-$25...so maybe I just buy the one I find the best deal on and then add the other stock module just to see how I like it. |

20 bucks is 20 bucks
 I would rather not spend it if I dont have to. I am going to go try and hold both tomorrow and see how they feel. I have shot short guns before and it was fine. Had more trouble prone than offhand as it seemed to be harder to move fore and aft.

Had more trouble prone than offhand as it seemed to be harder to move fore and aft.My 22 mag compact arrived today. I think it's short. BUT... another shooter 6'8" shouldered it and said it was spot on for point of aim with the irons . That's with the regular rear stock section. SINCE IT DIDN'T COME WITH A SCOPE MOUNT  i'll wait till monday to buy one (weaver # 12) mount the 3 x 9 burris and see how it feels. The cheek weld section seem to be a good match for optics.

There are Long and Short length-of-pull modules. One is Low height for shooting with irons, and one is High height for using a scope. The Standard rifle comes with two Long modules, one High, and one Low. The Compact rifle comes with two Short modules, one High, and one Low. Any of the modules can be fitted to either rifle. It's easy to buy the desired modules from Ruger, and fit them to a rifle. For example, fitting a short module to a standard rifle so a kid could use it. Just keep the included Long modules so they can grow into them.
To keep the price as low as possible, Ruger does NOT include the Weaver scope mounting bases with either rifle. They are not hard to get, and not at all expensive. The top of the receiver is drilled and tapped for these bases, but the holes are filled with screws which can be easily removed. The full size rifle will have a longer iron sight radius, and perhaps a bit higher bullet velocity than the compact model. It will also have a slightly different point of balance, but adding some weight to the inside of the hollow buttstock allows the user to customize this. The compact model might be handier to carry in the brush, and easier for kids and very small adults to manipulate. The newer versions of both rifles can be had with threaded barrels, and come with thread protectors. For folks planning to install sound suppressors, the obvious choice would be the Compact model. It might also be possible to install a flash suppressor on the threaded barrel of either rifle, but it's doubtful if either rifle really needs such. |

I just bought the compact for my grandkids and, given your post, wish to retro fit it for the 2 of my 3 sons who've never shot a firearm. Your post has 'awakened' me to additional possibilities. Thanks, |

Quote HistoryYou can find the part numbers on that page, and then find the modules all over the place, even Amazon and eBay. Just search for "Ruger 90431" (or 90432/90433/90434). |
