If your Ranger is a bolt action 22, it is likely a Marlin Model 81 made for Sears, and wearing their brand name.
Step 1- open the bolt, and check that there is NO ammunition in the rifle. Do that twice. Then open the bolt, depress and hold trigger, and slide bolt out of the rifle.
Step 2- Remove the large screw on the underside of the stock. You can now lift the action from the stock. The inner magazine tube can be turned, and withdrawn from the outer magazine tube.
STOP. Do not disassemble the rifle further.
