Ruger American Ranch compact
- Thread starter mkk
- Start date
Barrel length has little impact on accuracy.
My 5.56 shoots great with Fiocchi 69gr OTM and nearly as good with Hornady 55gr JSP.
BTW, the Ranch has a full-size stock... the standard Compact has a (black) youth-size stock.

You are right they do offer the shorter length of pull and it should be fine to start out on. I am looking for one now to make my coyote tamer but have not seen any in my area. Another plus is that the twist rate of the barrel can stabilize heavier bullets than the older compact MK II so it will be versatile from hunting small game to even taking it deer hunting if that is the case. Good luck with your search and hope this helps.
