If you have been reading JTT for long, you know that I don’t spend a lot of time talking about bolt action rifles but I do like the Ruger American line and especially their Ranch Rifles. These light, handy, and affordable carbines are a ton of fun and very practical… but until now they have lacked many user installable iron sight options.

NoDak Spud has now launched their NDS-55 and NDS-56 Sight Set for Ruger American Ranch Rifles. These sights are based on their 10/22 sight sets (which I own and like quite a bit). They include a tower front and a rear rail with built-in rear sight.
These look to be just the thing for those looking to turn these rifles into a handy “brush gun” or even a defensive rifle for restrictive jurisdictions.
