The Ranch Rifle is an ideal rifle for its target market: people with coyote/fox/misc. varmint problems around the farm or ranch. It is small, takes a varmint cartridge, and can mount a decent optic. This particular rifle is clean, clean, clean, and has a nearly-generic Tasco variable power scope. If I had a farmhouse, this would 100% for-sure find its way to the lintel of the back door.
I'm not a big fan of fighting wars with the .223 Remington/5.54x45mm NATO round, but for a fox in the henhouse, it is ideal . . . and this delivery platform is just as cute as a button! I could do with a regular-capacity magazine (vs. the factory 5-rounder it has) but if I need more than 5 shots on varmints I have worse problems than a small magazine!
Clean. Clean. Clean.
It has obviously been shot, but only a little. The bluing is only starting to scuff in the friction spots of the action, and the crown is barely worn. The glass on the scope is in good shape, and the bore, well . . . . The bore really has to be seen in person to be appreciated. Clean, bright, sharp rifling. Almost a perfect bore.
With the funky Mini-14 scope mounts and a scope good enough to get your $50 bounty from the State of Texas.
Ranch Rifle. Not tactical, ranch-y. I dig it.
