Ok, I know Ruger made a .222 Rem in the Mini-14 but, I can not find anything on a Ruger Ranch .222 Rem A call to Ruger was of no help.

check out www.wikipedia.org/wiki/mini14
they said the 223 was the same as some military guns and in some countrys thats illegal for non military people to have so they made the 222. Thats the way I took it but you can read it or just type ruger ranch rifle 222 in a search

Thanks I'll check it out.
