Ruger American Gen II Ranch 5.56 NATO 16.1" 5rd FDE Splatter Rifle

The Ruger American Rifle Gen II Ranch in 5.56 NATO is a compact bolt action built on a 16.1" barrel. That barrel has a medium contour cut with deep spiral flutes, which trims weight out at the muzzle end, and it is cold hammer forged. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28 and wears a radial port muzzle brake out of the box. Cerakote covers the barrel, brake, receiver and bolt handle, with Cobalt on the barrel. The Power Bedding block locates the receiver in the stock and lets the barrel float free.

A flush fit AR style magazine holds 5 rounds, and one magazine comes with the rifle. There are no iron sights: a one piece Picatinny base sits on top for a scope, and the three lug bolt with a 70 degree throw gives the optic room. The one piece bolt is stainless steel, and the oversized handle threads on at 5/16-24 so it can be replaced. The three position tang safety locks the bolt shut and still lets you load with the safety on, and the Marksman Adjustable trigger can be set by the owner. The Flat Dark Earth splatter stock grips well without feeling rough, the soft rubber recoil pad has a rounded heel, and taking out the installed spacer cuts length of pull from 13.75" to 12". A low comb comes installed for magnified optics and can be removed. Steel sling swivel studs are fitted, and weight is 6.2 lb.
