I have a compact in 223 that I put a full size factory stock on. If the Ranch rifle had been available at the time I'd have bought it. My brother has the Ranch in 5.56. I've shot both with both 223 and 5.56 ammo. With decent ammo both consistently shoot well under 1". Cheap FMJ will be closer to 2".
I also have a Predator in 308 and my brother in 6.5 Creedmoor. Both are extremely accurate. My Predator in 308 is the most accurate rifle I own.
I did have issues with the original magazine in the 223, but Ruger sent me a new one. It and the 2 spares work perfectly. I also have 3 mags for the 308, never a bobble.
