The Ruger American Gen II in 7mm-08 Remington is a bolt-action hunting rifle built around a 20-inch spiral fluted barrel finished in Gun Metal Gray Cerakote (Ruger part no. 46903). The barrel is threaded and carries a factory radial port muzzle brake, and the receiver and bolt handle share the same gray coating over a gray splatter synthetic stock. With 7mm-08 on the label, it is a mild-recoiling choice for deer-sized game from a stand or a blind. The Picatinny base is already on the receiver, so the rifle is ready for a scope.
