Description
The Magpul Hunter American Stock in Black is built to wake up a Ruger American Predator or Ranch rifle that already feeds from AR-style magazines. It swaps the hollow factory stock for reinforced polymer wrapped around a Type III hard-anodized cast-aluminum bedding block with steel recoil lugs, so the action sits solid and the barrel free-floats. Best part is it drops right in with no bedding, no fitting, and no trip to a gunsmith. This version is set up specifically for short-action Predator and Ranch rifles chambered in 5.56 NATO, .300 Blackout, .350 Legend, and 6.5 Grendel that run STANAG mags in the current factory stock.
Dialing In the Hunter American Stock to Your Build
Fit is where this stock earns its keep. Length of pull adjusts from 13 to 15 inches using the included half-inch spacers, so you can set it up for a heavy hunting coat or a t-shirt at the range. It ships with a 0.25-inch cheek riser already installed, and Magpul offers 0.00, 0.50, and 0.75-inch risers separately if you need to get your eye lined up perfectly behind a taller scope. The pistol grip sits at a steeper, more natural angle than the factory piece, and the wide, flat forend rides bags and shooting ledges without wanting to tip.
Feeding and Mounting on the Hunter American
The STANAG magazine well is the headline feature here, letting you run AR15-pattern mags with a beveled opening for faster loads and a latch just ahead of the trigger guard for quick drops. Up front you get M-LOK slots on both sides and the bottom of the forend for bipods, sling hardware, and other gear, plus dimpled drill points for standard swivel studs if you'd rather go traditional.
One thing worth knowing going in: at roughly 3.3 pounds this stock adds real weight over the featherweight factory shell. A lot of folks see that as a plus since the extra mass steadies the rifle and softens recoil, but it's something to factor in if you carry your rig for miles. Made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Hunter American Stock fit my Ruger American rifle?
This STANAG version fits right-hand, short-action Ruger American Predator and Ranch rifles that already feed from an AR-style magazine in the factory stock. It's set up for 5.56 NATO, .300 Blackout, .350 Legend, and 6.5 Grendel chamberings. If you have a .308-based short action that uses AICS-pattern mags, you'll want the MAG931 version instead.
Does the Magpul Hunter American Stock require gunsmithing to install?
No. It's a true drop-in stock, so there's no bedding or fitting involved. Most people pull the barreled action from the factory stock, drop it into the Hunter, and torque the action screws down. Owners regularly report the swap going smoothly in a few minutes.
Do magazines come with the stock?
The stock includes the Bolt Action Magazine Well so it's ready to accept AR15-pattern STANAG magazines, but the magazines themselves are sold separately. That lets you pick the capacity and brand that suits your setup.
How much heavier is the Hunter American Stock than the factory stock?
It weighs roughly 3.3 pounds, which is noticeably more than the thin factory stock. That added mass comes from the solid polymer and aluminum bedding block, and many find it helps steady the rifle and take the edge off recoil. It's worth keeping in mind if you cover a lot of ground on foot.
