When I built a 10\/22 last year with the Hunter, I had a tough time getting the action into the stock. It was a tight squeeze, caused in part by the way Ruger designed 10\/22\u2019s with the trigger guard attached to the receiver. I didn\u2019t have similar trouble with the American Hunter assembly, and I soon had the action screws threaded and ready to tighten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick note on the action screws: be sure to use the screws Magpul provides, not the factory screws from Ruger. The Ruger screws are longer, and if you use them, they\u2019ll run up against the bolt and impede movement. I found this out the hard way, so\u2026 you\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"637\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screws-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screws-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screws-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screws-400x249.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screws-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screws.jpg 1048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Be sure to use the shorter screws that Magpul includes with the Hunter &#8212; NOT the factory Ruger screws.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"665\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Install-barreled-action-1024x665.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Install-barreled-action-1024x665.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Install-barreled-action-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Install-barreled-action-400x260.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Install-barreled-action-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Install-barreled-action.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-5.1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-5.1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-5.1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-5.1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-5.1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-5.1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>Place the barreled action in the Magpul stock and tighten to about 65 inch-pounds, alternating every five pounds or so. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Magpul recommends tightening the action screws to 65 inch-pounds, alternating between the two screws every five pounds or so. The instructions don\u2019t mention which screw to start or end with, and neither does Ruger in the American user\u2019s manual. As long as you don\u2019t tighten one screw all the way and then the other, you\u2019re good to go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last step is to attach the trigger guard, which is\nsecured by two tabs as well as two additional screws. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features + Enhancements<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what are you getting for $299.95?

While all plastic stocks are immune to the weather-related ailments that plague traditional wood stocks, the Hunter\u2019s solid construction provides additional assurance in the field. Also, unlike the factory stock, there isn\u2019t any flex in the forend of the Hunter, and I wasn\u2019t able to squeeze the barrel and the stock together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That durability does come with one drawback: weight. The Hunter weighs 3lbs, 7.6 oz. while the factory stock weighs 1 lb., 8.1 oz., so you\u2019re adding about two pounds switching to the Magpul. This was disappointing since, to me, the American\u2019s lightweight was one of the rifle\u2019s most attractive selling points. But every firearm comes with trade-offs, and the overall weight (unloaded, with scope) is still under 9.5 lbs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gap-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gap-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gap-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gap-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gap-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Gap.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>The tough plastic and rigid bedding system keeps the barrel free-floated without any noticeable flex. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ergonomics is the second major improvement over the factory\nstock. The Hunter comes with spacers to adjust the length of pull between 13\u201d\nand 15,\u201d so you can tweak the LOP to fit your shooting position and scope. The\nspacers are inserted easily by unscrewing the screws in the recoil pad,\nremoving the recoil pad slider, and inserting the desired number of sliders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was disappointed to learn that Magpul only includes the 0.25\u201d cheek riser in the Hunter package.

Still, the 0.25\u201d riser is better than the factory stock, and my scope happened to be about the right height. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stock-adjustments-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stock-adjustments-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stock-adjustments-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stock-adjustments-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stock-adjustments-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Stock-adjustments.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-7.1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-7.1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-7.1-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-7.1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-7.1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Step-7.1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pad-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pad-1024x662.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pad-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pad-400x259.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pad-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Pad.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"702\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mag-release-1024x702.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mag-release-1024x702.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mag-release-150x103.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mag-release-400x274.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mag-release-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Mag-release.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"724\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Grip-1-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\" class=\"wp-image-114476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Grip-1-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Grip-1-150x106.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Grip-1-400x283.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Grip-1-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Grip-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>The Hunter&#8217;s healthy recoil bad, angled grip, adjustable length of pull, and raised comb to improve ergonomics over the factory stock. The ability to accept detachable box mags is a big plus, too!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The grip is nicely textured and molded at a steeper angle than the factory stock, and the wide forend accepts M-Lok accessories. I think the width of the forend looks a little odd with my standard American barrel, but that\u2019s a personal preference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high-strength steel recoil lugs paired with the Type III hard-anodized cast aluminum bedding block free float barrels with profiles up to medium Palma. The system is obviously more secure than the aluminum recoil lugs that come with the factory stock, which, in theory, will enhance accuracy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, I didn\u2019t find that to be the case with my rifle. I\u2019ve used and tested the Hunter with both factory loads and hand loads, and I\u2019ve seen a slight reduction in group sizes, but it\u2019s nothing to write home about. You might have a different experience, and the rigidity of the Hunter system certainly won\u2019t decrease accuracy. But I\u2019ve found that a rifle\u2019s barrel determines accuracy more than any other factor, so you shouldn\u2019t expect a 1.5 MOA gun to start shooting sub-MOA with a different stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That being said, the Hunter includes a host of features that justify its cost. Greater durability, enhanced ergonomics, detachable magazine capability, and M-Lok mounts all provide significant upgrades over the factory stock. It\u2019s simple to install and the mounting system ensures a true free-floated barrel that sits securely in the bedding block. In today\u2019s accessory-rich environment, the Magpul Hunter stands out as a viable option to enhance your hunting rig, and I think it\u2019s worth a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.magpul.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-magpul-ruger-american-hunter-stock-install-review\" title=\"NEW Magpul Ruger American Hunter Stock Install + Review\">Magpul<\/a> to learn more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest in the aftermarket revolution comes from Magpul.
