That's one of the downsides of the Ruger American Ranch. It's a great little carbine, but no irons. There are aftermarket options, but IMO they're not ideal. That's one among a few reasons I would take the CZ 527 7.62x39 carbine over the Ruger Ranch or the Howa Mini-Action. For me irons are a must for a walkabout bolt gun in case your optics get damaged. That sentiment is right out of Jeff Cooper's book on the scout rifle. Seems right to me.
A couple people have commented that the CZ is limited by its 5-Round detachable magazine. For one thing, 5+1 is more than most bolt guns discussed in this thread have, and most don't have detachable magazines.
A guy could carry as many detachable magazines as he wants. I've bought 3 extra for my CZ 527 at this writing. That gives me 4 including the one that came with the gun. And I can buy more if I wanna. They're not hard to find. The CZ mags for the 7.62x39 and 6.5 Grendel are the same. Technically different part numbers, but you can buy either for both calibers. Part numbers 13013 and 13004.
Nice looking carbine for sure. Even with the hardwood stock, 2.5 extra inches of barrel, and iron sights, the CZ weighs the same as the Ruger Ranch... just shy of 6 pounds empty.
