I had an R10 for bout 3 month and considered a Ranger the whole time I had it. Got one eventually, absolutely fantastic!! I love it, it's my main hunting gun and its definately a keeper. Can't compare the R10 to a Ranger. Don't get me wrong the R10's are great for the price, nothing wrong with them at all, but I'm glad I traded in. Also get an uprated stock if you have the cash, I did and was really lucky, got a real nice tiger striped stock
