The Ruger American Gen II Predator chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor (Ruger part no. 46930) is built around the second-generation American action from Ruger, a lighter, stiffer redesign of the original American platform aimed squarely at predator and varmint hunters. The 22-inch spiral-fluted barrel is cut at a 1:8-inch twist to stabilize the heavier bullet weights 6.5 Creedmoor shooters favor at distance, and it feeds from an AI-style detachable 3-round magazine for quick reloads in the field. A 3-position safety and a green-and-burnt-bronze splatter finish round out a rifle built for hunters who spend long hours calling and glassing for coyotes and other predators.
