The Ruger American Predator in 6.5mm Creedmoor (brand part no. 36921) is a compact-package bolt-action rifle built around a shortened 16.375-inch barrel for handier carry in the field. Ruger feeds the rifle from a detachable 5-round rotary-style magazine and builds it on the proven American action, keeping weight and length down without giving up 6.5 Creedmoor’s flat-shooting performance. Among compact hunting rifles in the bolt action rifles category, the American Predator Compact favors hunters who move through brush and timber and want a shorter, easier-to-carry rifle.
