This is the second offering of the Ranch Boy GBB Airsoft rifle series by Viva Arms. Based on the Ruger 10/22 sporting rifle, the Ranch Boy rifle is a .22 stylised Airsoft rifle in a GBB configuration. The Ranch Boy, along with .22 rifles, serves as an excellent introductory starter rifle and a small game/varmint rifle for hunters and ranchers, hence the naming inspiration. The second iteration of the Ranch Boy is a throwback to the more standard setup of the 10/22 compared to the first Ranch Boy, which featured a B-TM chassis and folding stock. The Ranch Boy 2 features a more traditional fixed Walnut wood stock/chassis and has a 20mm Picatinny rail up top to give users a place to mount optics. Viva replicates this rifle in its GBB form, maintaining the same wooden chassis, with a CNC-machined aluminum receiver, making the rifle lightweight and robust. It includes a birdcage flash hider on a 14mm CCW threaded outer barrel and is equipped with a Picatinny top rail interface to accommodate the installation of optics and peripheral devices.
At its core is a Novritsch SSQ22 GBB system, making it fully compatible with SSQ22/KC-02 aftermarket parts and upgrades, which are plentiful, as it is a very robust and popular system. This beautifully crafted rifle is reinforced with steel components in high-stress areas, enhancing its overall longevity. As an SSQ22/KC-02-based system, it features an easily accessible TDC hop dial located on the Picatinny top rail interface, allowing for tool-free hop-up adjustments, making this rifle convenient for on-the-fly zeroing. This engineering significantly enhances shot-to-shot performance by applying vertical pressure to the BB for a straighter, longer, and more stable trajectory. Behind the magazine release is the fire selector, which allows for Safe/Semi/Full-Auto fire modes, making the rifle highly flexible in different scenarios. As a Novritsch SSQ, and technically its original predecessor, the KJ KC-02, the rifle is cross-compatible with KC-02 and SSQ components, such as the magazines.
This rifle is an excellent addition for enthusiasts of the Ranch Boy and Ruger 10/22 design aesthetic or those wishing to own the venerable KC-02 system; this lightweight rifle is undoubtedly a worthwhile investment.
