| 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 |

Beautiful scene! Controlled chaos! Seems they are a hot commodity these days…. |

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. |

Quick to judge quick to anger slow to understand
I just got a new video uploaded. Ruger American Ranch 7.62x39 with iron sights |

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. |

In stock $635 Now showing $635, mine shipped to my ffl within 3-4 days |
| 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. |

Other than that...how was the play Mrs. Lincoln?

Gotta enjoy the little things.

If mags were a big deal to me on a bolt gun like they are on a semi-auto, I'd agree with you. If the RAR came wiht a nearly flush fit 4 or 5 round mag, I would've even hesitate to agree with you. But about half the bolt guns I've owned or still own have been converted to single shots via sleds or magazine replacement ... |

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. |

IIRC there are some better aftermarket (DIP) for that. I waited sooo long for these to come back to market, I bought a RAR instead. Now, I'm wondering if I "need" one again, or just get another RAR in .223? I already have a Mini in .223 |

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

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. |
