Precision stock upgrade for Ruger American

Hi all. Have a buddy who just acquired a Ruger Ranch in .300 BO. He is only going to use it for 50 or so yard shots at night at a feeder where he needs some quieter discretion…..subsonics and a thermal scope. But even with a Bobro mount the Pulsar Trail sits a bit high for his eyes. The easy solution is a stacked pad or pool noodle and duct tape. But he is interested in knowing whether there is an aftermarket stock with an adjustable comb that will level the stock close to the scope rail height. Please advise if such a creature exists……Magpul looks promising but I don’t think the comb is quite high enough…..and I doubt he will drop more than $200-$300. Thanks!

Here is one.

I have also done it old school with craft foam and vet tape.

gaffe tape (vetranarian tape)



Build up the level you need and hold it down with some scotch tape.

Then wrap with the vet tape a few times.

If you change scopes and especially the height of the eyeline, you may have to adjust this.

The Magpul Hunter and MDT Field stocks both give you adjustable comb heights. The Field stock is adjustable directly, the Hunter adjusts by replacing the comb with different heights (available in a fairly cheap kit from Magpul).

If you're happy with the factory stock otherwise though, you can do something like this with a piece of Kydex and a couple carriage bolts and thumb nuts from the hardware store. Easy enough to make it look clean and neat, and with some care in the dimensions you can still remove the bolt (might have to roll the bolt upside down in the last inch of travel to get it out). This was my Creedmoor stock before switching to the Magpul Hunter, which I do like better for the purpose. I formed the Kydex by heating and draping it right over the factory stock comb - perfect fit.

The Magpul works perfectly fine with the right mags… I run the Magpul AICS stock with the Magpul AICS 223 mags for my Ranch .300 BLK. Not a single issue. Also, invest the $150 and upgrade the trigger to a Timney. Worth every penny.

Oooh, good point. The magpul 223 aics didnt exist when I was going through it myself. One caveat is the 2.390" limitation if you want to run some longer heavier 223 load configurations.
I notice that they say its not recommended for blackout but its working for you?

Works fine for me. And allows me to seat the 210 Bergers and 220 Berry’s out into the lands if I wanted to, with plenty of room left over. I seat them 0.010” off, and get excellent results.

L - 220 Berry’s
R - 210 VLD
