Ruger American Gen II Ranch 5.56 NATO 16.1" 10rd Rifle

The Ruger American Rifle Gen II Ranch is the short, handy member of the Gen II family. This one is chambered in 5.56 NATO with a 16.1" medium contour barrel cut with deep spiral flutes and threaded 1/2-28, wearing a factory installed radial port muzzle brake. The barrel, receiver, brake and bolt handle carry a Cobalt Cerakote finish, set into a Flat Dark Earth stock with black splatter texture that grips well without being sharp. It feeds from a detachable 10 round AR-style magazine, so it runs on the same mags many shooters already own.

Gen II upgrades are all here. The stock has a removable length of pull spacer that takes the rifle from 13.75" down to 12", plus a low comb riser that can come off for low sights. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger sets between 3 and 5 pounds, and the three position tang safety locks the bolt while still letting you load the rifle on safe. Power Bedding locates the receiver and free floats the barrel for accuracy, and a one piece Picatinny rail is installed for optics. It makes a light, compact truck or ranch gun for coyotes, hogs and steel, and suppressor owners will appreciate the threaded muzzle.
