Description
This is what happens when old-world walnut craftsmanship meets a modern chassis. The Elegante Sporter is built around a single hand-selected piece of Claro American walnut wrapped over a precision-machined aluminum mini-chassis, so you get the feel and character of a classic hunting rifle with the rigidity and repeatable bedding you'd expect from a metal chassis. WOOX has been shaping walnut in Italy since 1937, and it shows. Only about 1 in 25 blanks meets their standard for figure, density, and structural integrity, and this High Grade tier is where the best-looking wood ends up. Every stock is hand-oiled to bring out the depth and grain rather than burying it under a heavy synthetic coating, which means no two are ever quite the same.
What the Elegante Sporter Brings to a Ruger American Gen 2
The Sporter follows a traditional hunting silhouette with a slim forend and classic grip geometry, and it tips the scale at right around 30 ounces. That keeps it light enough for all-day carry on the mountain while the internal aluminum bedding holds your action steady and helps the rifle return to zero. It's the kind of upgrade that changes how a factory rifle carries and shoots without turning it into a display piece. This one was designed to go to work in the field.
Fitment Notes Before You Order
This stock is cut specifically for short-action centerfire Ruger American Gen 2 rifles. It supports the most common Ruger American barrel profiles including straight, pencil, and match, and it's set up to run with single-stack magazines and AICS bottom metal. Popular short-action chamberings like .243 Win, .308 Win, and 6.5 Creedmoor all fall in line with what it's built to handle. As with any stock swap, it's worth double-checking your exact barrel contour and magazine setup against your rifle before pulling the trigger on the order.
Walnut has earned its place in the field for generations because it performs and because it ages beautifully. Drop your Ruger American Gen 2 into one of these and you've got a rifle worth passing down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Elegante Sporter fit my Ruger American Gen 2?
This stock is built specifically for short-action centerfire Ruger American Gen 2 rifles. It supports straight, pencil, and match barrel profiles and works with single-stack magazines and AICS bottom metal. Before ordering, it's smart to confirm your exact barrel contour and magazine configuration match what the stock is set up for.
What's the difference between High Grade and Standard walnut?
Both grades use the same Claro American walnut construction and the same aluminum mini-chassis inside. The High Grade tier is where the best-figured, most striking wood ends up, so you're getting a stock with more character and grain. Since every blank is hand-selected and only about 1 in 25 makes the cut, no two High Grade stocks look exactly alike.
Does the aluminum chassis actually help accuracy?
Yes. The internal aerospace-grade aluminum mini-chassis gives the action a rigid, consistent bedding surface, which helps the rifle hold zero and return to point of aim under recoil. You get that chassis-level stability while keeping the warmth and feel of a real walnut stock on the outside.
How much does the Elegante Sporter weigh?
It comes in at right around 30 ounces, which keeps it light enough for all-day carry in the field. That's the whole idea behind the Sporter profile: a traditional hunting silhouette that balances well and doesn't wear you down on a long day.
