Back for its second year, the Ranchland Compact combines all of the best features needed in a compact, all-purpose “truck gun”. The Ranchland Compact is built on the tough and reliable Howa barreled action that features a forged steel, flat bottomed receiver; large recoil lug and hammer forged barrel. On top of that is a forged, one-piece bolt with two locking lugs, an M-16 style extractor and three position safety. All of this mounts in your choice of an OD Green, Coyote Sand or Black Hogue Overmolded® stock.

This stock features a non-slip, cobblestone grip for sure handling in all weather conditions, a fiberglass reinforced skeleton for strength and pillar bedding for rock-solid accuracy. The short, 20 inch lightweight barrel is free-floated and the rifle has proven itself in the field as a real tack driver with MOA, or better, groups at 100 yards.

New for 2009! The HOWA RANCHLAND series of PACKAGE rifles (rifle and scope combo) will ALL come with a one-piece scope rail! The bigger news is that every Ranchland Package gun will come with a COLOR MATCHED, Nikko Stirling 3-10x42 Nighteater™ riflescope and rings. These scopes and rings are anodized to match the color of the stock of the rifle. OD Green Hogue stocks will have an OD Green anodized scope; Coyote Tan Hogue stocks will have a tan anodized scope. In addition, the Ranchland comes in a full camo dipped version (see next page for details)! Of course, the black Hogue stock version will have the traditional matte black Nikko Stirling Nighteater!

This short “truck gun” fits easily behind the seat of a pickup truck, across the front of a quad or tucked into the cab of farm equipment. It can be used in tight or awkward positions with ease, and grabbed in a hurry for that quick shot.
