Many rifle enthusiasts often ask, "What's the best aftermarket stock for a Ruger American short action rifle?" or "How can I improve the accuracy and ergonomics of my Ruger American?" The answer frequently points to a meticulously engineered option, and the Magpul Hunter American stock consistently emerges as a top recommendation. It addresses common limitations of factory stocks, providing a robust, adjustable, and feature-rich foundation for your rifle. This upgrade is available at DEGuns, ensuring you receive genuine Magpul quality for your firearm enhancement needs.

Unparalleled Compatibility and Effortless Integration

The Magpul Hunter American stock is specifically engineered for the Ruger American Family of short action centerfire rifles. This means if your rifle is chambered in popular short-action calibers such as .308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, .243 Winchester, 7mm-08 Remington, or .22-250 Remington, this stock is designed to fit seamlessly. A common concern with aftermarket components is the complexity of installation or the need for professional gunsmithing. Magpul has brilliantly bypassed these issues, offering a "true drop-in solution." This crucial design feature means no bedding is required. You can typically remove your factory stock and install the Hunter American stock using basic tools, saving time, money, and the hassle associated with custom fitting.

This remarkable ease of installation is a major advantage for shooters who prefer to perform their own rifle modifications. It allows for quick upgrades, getting you back to the range or field faster with your enhanced firearm. The precision-machined aluminum bedding block within the stock ensures a perfect, consistent fit for your Ruger American's action, promoting optimal accuracy potential right out of the box.

Advanced Ergonomics for Superior Shooting Comfort and Control

A rifle's stock is the primary interface between the shooter and the firearm, making ergonomics paramount for consistent accuracy and reduced fatigue during extended shooting sessions. The Magpul Hunter American stock excels in this regard with multiple adjustable features:

• Fully Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP): Catering to a wide range of body types and shooting preferences, the LOP can be adjusted from a compact 13 inches up to 15 inches. This critical adjustability allows shooters to achieve the ideal distance between their shoulder and the trigger, promoting proper shooting form, natural point of aim, and better recoil management. Whether you're wearing heavy winter gear or shooting from a bench, you can dial in the perfect fit.
• Adjustable Comb Height: Achieving proper eye alignment with your scope is fundamental for accuracy. The Hunter American stock features an adjustable comb, allowing you to fine-tune the cheek weld for optimal optical clarity and consistent sight picture. This eliminates neck strain and ensures your head is comfortably aligned behind your scope, a vital factor for precision shooting, especially at longer ranges.
• Enhanced Ergonomic Pistol Grip: The grip is designed to provide a more natural and comfortable hand position compared to many factory stocks. This ergonomic design promotes better trigger control, reduces hand fatigue, and allows for more consistent shot placement. The textured surface ensures a secure grip even in adverse conditions.

These ergonomic enhancements answer questions like "How do I make my bolt-action rifle more comfortable to shoot?" by providing the necessary adjustability to custom-fit the rifle to the individual shooter, leading to a more stable and enjoyable shooting experience.

Robust Construction and Enduring Durability

The foundation of the Magpul Hunter American stock is its superior construction, built to withstand the rigors of any environment, from the harsh conditions of a hunting trip to the demands of competition shooting. It is crafted from:

• Reinforced Polymer: This advanced polymer provides exceptional strength, rigidity, and resistance to environmental factors such as moisture, temperature fluctuations, and impacts. Unlike traditional wood stocks, it won't warp, swell, or crack, ensuring consistent performance over time.
• Anodized Aluminum Bedding Block: The heart of the stock's precision is its full-length anodized aluminum bedding block. This rigid chassis cradles the rifle's action, eliminating flex and movement between the action and the stock. This rigidity is a direct contributor to improved accuracy, as it ensures consistent barrel harmonics and shot-to-shot consistency. The anodized finish provides corrosion resistance and added durability.
• Steel Recoil Lugs: Integrated steel recoil lugs provide a robust and secure interface for managing the rifle's recoil forces. This not only enhances durability but also contributes to better accuracy by maintaining the rifle's zero and preventing movement within the stock during firing.

These high-quality materials and construction techniques contribute to a stock that weighs approximately 3.30 lbs, offering a balanced feel that is substantial enough for stability yet manageable for field carry. For those asking "Are Magpul stocks good for hunting?", the answer is a resounding yes, thanks to their robust, weather-resistant build.

M-LOK Versatility: The Future of Rifle Customization

One of the standout features of the Magpul Hunter American stock is its extensive M-LOK compatibility. M-LOK (Modular Lock) is a highly versatile and increasingly popular system for direct attachment of accessories to a rifle's forend. The stock features multiple M-LOK slots along the forend, allowing users to attach a wide array of accessories directly without the need for additional rail sections. This streamlined design reduces bulk and weight while offering incredible modularity.

What accessories can you add to an M-LOK stock? The possibilities are vast:

• Bipods: For stable shooting from prone or bench positions.
• Sling Mounts: Essential for comfortable carrying and support.
• Tripod Mounts: For enhanced stability in dynamic shooting scenarios.
• Lights and Lasers: For low-light operations or tactical applications.
• Picatinny Rail Sections: For attaching accessories that utilize traditional rail mounts.

This modularity allows shooters to customize their rifle precisely to their mission or shooting style, making it a highly adaptable platform. Whether you're setting up for long-range precision, quick target acquisition in the field, or simply enhancing comfort with a vertical grip, the M-LOK system makes it effortless.

Revolutionary Detachable Magazine System Integration

A significant upgrade the Magpul Hunter American stock offers for Ruger American owners is the included Bolt Action Magazine Well and a PMAG 5 7.62 AC magazine. This innovative system allows the rifle to be used with detachable box magazines without any need for custom inletting or complex modifications. This directly addresses the common question, "How do I convert my Ruger American to use detachable magazines?"

The integrated magazine well accepts widely available AICS-pattern (Accuracy International Chassis System) short action magazines, offering numerous advantages over the factory flush-fit or rotary magazines:

• Faster Reloads: Detachable box magazines enable quicker and more efficient reloads, crucial in competitive shooting or during high-volume range sessions.
• Increased Capacity: While the included PMAG 5 7.62 AC is a 5-round magazine, the system is compatible with higher-capacity AICS-pattern magazines (depending on local regulations and specific caliber compatibility with AICS short action magazines), offering greater firepower potential.
• Ease of Loading/Unloading: Unlike internal box magazines, detachable magazines allow for safe and rapid unloading of the rifle.
• Versatility: The compatibility with AICS-pattern magazines opens up a world of options for ammunition management.

This feature alone makes the Magpul Hunter American stock a transformative upgrade for many Ruger American users, enhancing the rifle's operational efficiency and tactical readiness.

Designed for Performance: Free-Floating Barrel

Another critical feature contributing to the stock's accuracy potential is its free-floating barrel channel. This design ensures that the rifle's barrel does not make contact with the stock along its length. Why is this important?

• Consistent Harmonics: A free-floating barrel is allowed to vibrate uniformly and consistently during firing, leading to more predictable and repeatable bullet trajectories.
• Eliminates Pressure Points: Any pressure exerted on the barrel by a stock can subtly affect accuracy. By eliminating contact, the free-floating design prevents unwanted pressure points, which can shift point of impact and reduce precision.

This meticulous design detail underscores Magpul's commitment to maximizing the inherent accuracy of the Ruger American rifle when paired with the Hunter American stock.

The Magpul Advantage: Trust and Innovation

Magpul is a name synonymous with innovation, quality, and user-centric design in the firearms accessory industry. Their products are rigorously tested and proven in real-world conditions, earning the trust of shooters worldwide. The Hunter American Short Action Stock embodies this philosophy, offering a product that is not only feature-rich but also built to perform and endure.

This stock, with its OD Green finish, also offers an aesthetic upgrade, providing a distinctive look that sets your rifle apart. The color is popular in tactical and outdoor environments, offering a subdued and practical appearance.

In summary, for any Ruger American short action rifle owner contemplating an upgrade, the Magpul Hunter American Stock (UPC: 840815117605) provides a compelling package of features: superior ergonomics with adjustable length of pull and comb height, a rugged and stable reinforced polymer and aluminum bedding block construction, extensive M-LOK compatibility, and the game-changing integrated detachable AICS-pattern magazine system.
