If by ranger you mean deal lots of single target damage with a bow, then yes.Nah, the Fighter out-rangers the Ranger so badly in combat it can safely multiclass a whole 9 levels for exploration.
But if you also want AoE damage with spells like conjure barrage or lighting arrow, then no.
Though that's the general issue with rangers. They are hybrids. Part fighter, part caster, but weaker at both.
