The Magpul MAG1421BLK Hunter Lite Stock is a purpose-built upgrade for Ruger American short-action rifles that strips away excess weight without sacrificing capability. If you're putting in hard miles in the field—whether you're glassing ridges, stalking through timber, or grinding up elevation—this stock cuts roughly 25% off the weight of Magpul's original Hunter American design while keeping the features that matter. At 2.6 lbs with two spacers installed, it's lean enough that you'll notice the difference in your pack or across your shoulders during a long day of hunting.
Magpul engineered the Hunter Lite with genuine adjustability built in. You get four removable half-inch spacers to dial in length of pull from 13 to 15 inches, plus a snap-on 3/8-inch cheek riser for comb height, so you can fit the stock to your frame and your shooting position rather than forcing yourself into a one-size-fits-most compromise. The forend is also 25% narrower than the original, making the rifle feel balanced and handy. An aluminum V-bedding block with reinforced steel pillars keeps your action locked down without movement or flex, and the buttstock and forend both have integral sling swivel studs—you're ready to mount your strap or bipod without drilling or modification.
The Hunter Lite accepts Ruger factory barrels and aftermarket profiles up to Medium Palma diameter, and it's configured for AICS-pattern magazines with an ambidextrous release paddle. An enlarged trigger guard won't pinch your hand even when you're wearing heavy gloves, and M-LOK slots along the forend let you mount lights, grips, or other accessories as your setup demands. The stock ships user-configurable for either right or left-hand rifles—just swap the inlet insert to match your rifle's action.
Made in the USA, the Hunter Lite is finished in Magpul's durable black. It's compatible with Ruger American and Ruger American Generation II rifles chambered in short-action calibers—just verify your rifle wasn't originally equipped with an AR-magazine-capable stock from the factory.
