The Ruger American rifle in .243 Winchester with a matte black finish (brand part no. 16931) ships as a complete hunting package with a factory-installed Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 riflescope featuring a Dead-Hold BDC reticle. Ruger cold hammer-forges the 22-inch barrel for precise, long-lasting rifling, and the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger breaks crisp within a user-adjustable 3-to-5-pound range. The three-lug 70-degree bolt provides ample scope clearance, and patented Power Bedding free-floats the barrel for consistent accuracy. A reliable rotary magazine feeds flush with the stock, and a soft rubber recoil pad helps manage felt recoil. Among scoped combo bolt action rifles, this American configuration favors hunters who want a proven .243 ready to sight in out of the box.
