U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is excited to introduce the Ruger American Rifle Ranch model, now chambered in 7.62×39 and fed by the Mini Thirty magazine. In response to customer feedback, Ruger has combined the power of the classic 7.62×39 cartridge with the compact, bolt-action platform of the Ranch model.
Thirty years after the introduction of the Mini Thirty, its cartridge and magazine have found a new home. The magazine well of the Ruger American Rifle Ranch model is designed to accept Mini Thirty metal box magazines, which are properly positioned for reliable feeding. The magazine release is located in front of the trigger guard for easy manipulation. The rifle ships with a compact, 5-round magazine suitable for hunting. Higher capacity 10- and 20-round magazines are also available at ShopRuger.com.
“Rifles chambered in the popular 7.62×39 cartridge have been a frequent request from our customers and we are proud to bring this exciting new bolt-action configuration to market,” said Chris Killoy, Ruger President and CEO. “Pairing this cartridge with the Ruger American Rifle Ranch model and employing the Mini Thirty magazine expands the utility and capability of this compact rifle.”
An extension of the Ruger American Rifle family, the Ranch model is compact, accurate and adaptable. The 16.10″ medium-contour, cold hammer-forged barrel features a 5/8″-24 threaded muzzle, readying the rifle for any .30 caliber muzzle device. Like all Ruger American Rifles, this new Ranch model includes the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger and Ruger’s patented Power Bedding system for consistent and accurate performance.

gun show at the end of this month! we will be looking at one hopefully.
Glad to see that Ruger has gotten rid of that terrible rotory magazine and changed it to a good reliable box one!
My 300 BO has the rotory magazine and it SUCKS! Wish they would offer to change over to accept at least a Ruger box magazine of some type, I’d pay for that change!
wish Ruger would make an upgrade kit for that box magazine for all the other Ruger American rifles
Wish it had peep sights
^That.
My CZ527 carbine in 7.62×39 has irons, but I put a NECG peep on it. Great little gun.
I still might pick up one of these little Ruger’s. Maybe for a 1-4X setup. Nice that it is threaded for one of my suppressors.
Will the internal dimensions of the barrel be .308 like the Mini-30 or .310 like the SKS for use of surplus ammo, I wonder?
I contacted Ruger and they assured me it is bored to .310.
Is the 7.62×39 a math to use 308 in
.30 cal. not .308.
I called Ruger today and it is confirmed that the bore is 311 and not 308.
7.62×39 and .308 arent alike however 7.62×51 and .308 are. just like .223 and 5.56 are pretty much the same thing except 5.56 is a higher pressure.
Just talking about bore size, not cartridges.
A worthy successor to the Mini-Thirty.
Now if only someone will make a bullpup stock for it like they did with the Mini-Thirty…
