My RAR .223 isn' the Ranch, but it is now since I had the barrel shortened for suppressor reasons. Bought it for a beat-around, back up, truck rifle.

Shoots great. Way better than I would have guessed for $300 out the door. It has the early version, more flimsy stock, but that hasn't been a problem. Although I did open the barrel channel up a bit to keep barrel contact down. Put in a lighter trigger spring and junked the "accutrigger" thing. The only drawback is the magazine's pretty much suck, but they seem to be slightly better recently and there are after-market option's now.
