The Ruger American Predator Gen II 6.5 Grendel is a bolt-action centerfire rifle on Ruger’s Generation II American platform (Ruger part no. 46942). A 10-round AR-style magazine and the efficient 6.5 Grendel cartridge make this Predator a good fit for varmints, hogs and deer-sized game at moderate range. A threaded barrel with a factory-installed radial port muzzle brake means the 5/8-24 muzzle is ready for approved devices straight out of the box. Ruger’s Marksman Adjustable trigger, a three-position tang safety and a one-piece Picatinny scope base come standard, and no iron sights are fitted. Get the full lineup from Ruger and find your fit.
