The Ruger Picatinny Rail for American Rifle Short Action (Ruger part no. 90671) is the factory-correct way to add a full-length optics rail to a short-action American Rifle. Precision-machined from billet aluminum and finished in a durable black hardcoat anodizing, this one-piece rail is engineered specifically to align with the American Rifle’s factory scope mount holes, so there’s no guesswork on fitment. It’s built for hunters and precision shooters who want a rock-solid mounting platform before their scope ever gets bore-sighted. Because it’s made by Ruger for Ruger rifles, it installs in minutes with the included hardware. We stock more from Ruger / Sturm, Ruger & Co. as well.
