The Magpul MAG1421ODG Hunter Lite Stock in OD Green is a purpose-built rifle stock for Ruger American short-action shooters who refuse to compromise between capability and weight. Magpul engineered this stock specifically for Ruger American and Ruger American Gen II rifles in short-action calibers, trimming nearly 25% off the weight and forend profile of their original Hunter model. At just 2.6 lbs (with two spacers installed), the Hunter Lite keeps your rifle nimble during long days afield without sacrificing the features that matter in a hunting rifle.
The foundation is an extruded aluminum V-bedding block with reinforced steel action screw pillars—built to stay rigid and prevent stock compression under recoil. Adjustability is front and center: four removable half-inch buttstock spacers let you dial in length of pull from 13 to 15 inches, while the snap-on 3/8-inch cheek riser lets you match comb height to your scope or iron sights. The stock ships ambidextrous—swap the inlet insert and you've got a left-hand or right-hand configuration. An AICS-compatible magazine well with an ambidextrous release paddle keeps your handling smooth, and the enlarged trigger guard makes gloved shooting comfortable. Integral sling swivel studs on the buttstock and forend give you flexibility in how you carry, and M-LOK slots on the forend let you bolt on accessories your way. The forend handles barrel profiles up to Medium Palma diameter, accommodating most factory Ruger barrels and quality aftermarket options.
Made in the USA, the Hunter Lite is finished in OD Green—a classic, durable color that works equally well in timber or brush. If you're running a Ruger American short-action rifle and want a lightweight, fully adjustable hunting stock without the bloat, this is the ticket.
| Platform | Ruger American |
| Finish | OD Green |
| Weight | 2.6 lbs (with two spacers installed) |
| Length of Pull Range | 13"–15" (adjustable via spacers) |

The Hunter Lite Stock is designed for Ruger American and Ruger American Gen II rifles chambered in short-action calibers. It works with both right-hand and left-hand models and accepts most factory Ruger barrels as well as aftermarket barrel profiles up to Medium Palma diameter. However, it is NOT compatible with rifles equipped with an AR-magazine-capable stock from the factory. Verify your rifle's configuration before ordering.
Yes. The Hunter Lite is user-configurable for either hand by swapping out the inlet insert on the stock—no gunsmith needed. This makes it a flexible choice if your shooting needs change or if you're setting up rifles for different shooters.
The Hunter Lite comes with four removable ½-inch spacers that allow you to dial in a length of pull anywhere from 13 to 15 inches. There's also a snap-on 3/8-inch cheek riser included for adjusting comb height independently.
The Hunter Lite features an AICS-compatible magazine well. Magazines are sold separately; verify AICS compatibility with your preferred magazine brand before purchase.
