The Ruger American Rifle Generation II Ranch in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO (brand part no. 46919) is a bolt-action rifle finished in Cobalt Cerakote over a Flat Dark Earth stock with black splatter texture. Ruger shortens the barrel to 16.1 inches for a lighter, more compact rifle, and adds a threaded bolt handle, stainless bolt body, and a three-position tang safety that can lock the bolt closed. The rifle feeds from 10-round AR-style magazines and includes a removable comb riser and LOP spacer to fit a range of shooters, down to a 12-inch LOP for smaller-framed users. Among compact hunting rifles in the bolt action rifles category, the American Ranch Gen II favors hunters who want AR-magazine compatibility in a bolt-action rifle.
