    Currently have a red dot mounted to the picatinney rail of the above referenced rifle. I was interested to know if anyone here has successfully installed open sights on a 308 Ruger American Ranch Rifle?

    I have to stand corrected -- My rifle is a Ruger American Rifle (308) not Ruger American Ranch Rifle.

    This is an easier option, potentially.

    Thanks - I looked at their website and it looks like their front sight is for the Ruger American Ranch Rifle not the Ruger American Rifle which I have (please see correction in my original post). My barrel diameter is .726" and doesn't match up with any of their offerings. I think I may be looking at gunsmith installation of at least the front sight.

    Are you sure it’s not .730” ? Erwos linked front sight should work. I don’t think a Ruger barrel for the 7.62x39 is going to be larger in diameter than your .308 barrel.
