The Ruger American Generation 2 rifle in .223 Remington with a gun metal gray Cerakote finish (brand part no. 46909) pairs a threaded barrel with a factory-installed Picatinny scope base for shooters who want a fast-handling, AR-magazine-compatible bolt gun. Ruger builds the 20-inch barrel with a 1:8-inch twist rate matched to common .223/5.56 bullet weights, and the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 inches. The rifle feeds from a 10-round AR-style magazine, and a tang safety provides visible, easy-to-actuate control. Among AR-magazine-compatible bolt action rifles, this American Generation 2 configuration favors shooters who want to share magazines with an existing AR-15 platform.
