    Talk me into or out of..............

    Either a Ruger American Ranch .223 that takes AR magazines.................... OR

    A Stag 15 Varminter HBAR upper assembly.


    They are both in the $400 price point, I have the lower receiver and build materials for the lower end, so I'm not worried about that. I have an extra ARgold trigger from a prior build, so trigger isn't a concern. I'm wanting a rifle that will plink whistle pigs inside of about 200 yards or less, weight will NOT be a concern, so a different gun altogether would be doable as long as it is under $500 for the whole thing. I'm more concerned with 1/2 to 1MOA accuracy than I am with anything else.

    Throwing out options for plinking, varminting, and potentially TEOTWAKI if need be. I have plenty of other rifles, 16" "battle rifles", I have .308 hunting rifles, I don't have anything target or benchrest right now other than .22lr benchrest rifle that I don't want to use on critters. What does the Calguns community think of this, and what have I left out?

        Ruger American takes AR mags?

        The stock needs some TLC but that trigger is pretty nice. I have two in different calibers and both are less than 1MOA out of the box.

          Upper
          Bolt action will be safe for awhile. Anything AR, particularly in this state is endangered.

            Upper. Make a liberal mad and get a great varmint rig in the process. Win win.

              I think I am going with the upper. I went a bunch of different routes and ended up liking the Stag upper because of what I'll end up with will probably be worth more than a cheap, cost-effective bolt gun.

                  I'd wait. Excremento will probably outlaw those this year.
