The Ruger American Gen II .308 Win Bolt-Action Rifle (Ruger model 46902) is the Standard model with a spiral-fluted, threaded 20-inch barrel and a factory-installed radial port muzzle brake. A Gun Metal Gray Cerakote finish covers the barreled action, and the dark gray stock is textured with a black and gray splatter for grip in wet or cold hands. The three-round AI-style magazine, adjustable Marksman trigger and Picatinny scope base make it ready for hunting or a general-purpose range rifle right out of the box. Ruger built the Gen II American as a bolt gun that does not give up the features serious shooters look for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the barrel threaded? Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24 and Ruger fits a radial port muzzle brake at the factory. The brake can come off to mount a suppressor or another device that uses the same thread.

Can I change the length of pull? Yes. Removing the installed spacer adjusts length of pull from 13.75 inches down to 12 inches, and Ruger sells additional spacers for finer adjustment.

Does the rifle come with a scope base? Yes. Ruger lists a Picatinny scope base installed on this model in place of iron sights.
