Overview
The Ruger American Rifle Generation II represents a deliberate evolution of Ruger’s foundational bolt-action platform, a design that has consistently set a benchmark for accuracy, durability, and operational performance for over a decade. This updated iteration integrates critical enhancements, directly addressing feedback from experienced shooters and field operators, to further refine its utility and reliability.
Key Features
Precision Action & Barrel
- **Barreled Action Finish:** Features a durable Gun Metal Gray Cerakote finish applied to the barreled action, providing enhanced resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and environmental stressors, which extends service life.
- **Barrel Profile:** Equipped with a 20-inch, medium-contour, cold hammer-forged barrel. This specific profile, coupled with deep spiral fluting, maintains critical barrel rigidity for consistent accuracy while optimizing overall rifle balance and reducing weight.
- **Muzzle Device:** The muzzle is threaded, facilitating the integration of suppressors or alternative muzzle devices. It arrives from the factory with a radial muzzle brake installed, engineered to effectively mitigate recoil impulse and muzzle rise during firing.
- **Bolt Assembly:** Incorporates a robust stainless steel bolt body for smooth cycling and extended service life. The bolt handle is threaded, ensuring secure manipulation and positive engagement.
Enhanced Ergonomics & Control
- **Stock Design:** The rigid synthetic stock is finished in a dark gray with a textured black and gray splatter pattern. This surface treatment provides a secure, non-slip grip under diverse environmental conditions.
- **Adjustable Comb Riser:** Features a removable comb riser, allowing shooters to optimize eye-to-optic alignment. This integration enhances natural point-of-aim and promotes consistent head position, critical for precision engagements.
- **Adjustable Length of Pull (LOP):** A modular LOP spacer system permits the user to precisely adjust the stock’s length. This adaptability accommodates a wide range of shooter statures, ensuring proper fit and improved handling characteristics.
Integrated Safety & Reliability
- **Three-Position Tang Safety:** Implements an intuitive three-position tang safety. This design provides positive control, locking the bolt to prevent inadvertent opening while still allowing the rifle to be loaded or unloaded with the safety engaged, enhancing field safety protocols.
