IIRC,
Ranger was a Sears & Roebuck "trade" name and any of a number of companies made rifles for Sears under that name. I have a Stevens 416 that was also sold by Sears as a "Ranger" (Your rifle is not the same.) I would imagine that you need to look at Mossberg, Savage, or any other manufacturer from the 1930-40's to see if you can find one that is similar. The bolt handle is somewhat unique, so I would concentrate on that.

The most interesting thing is the marking on the bolt handle. That is a Canadian Military property mark, so the rifle may have been a trainer at one time.
