The Ruger American Rifle Scout Gen2 .308 Win 16.1" Rifle (Ruger part no. 46967) is a compact, general-purpose bolt gun built to the classic Scout Rifle concept: short, light, and fast-handling. The 16.1-inch barrel keeps overall length short for maneuvering in brush or vehicles, while adjustable front and rear iron sights let it run without an optic if needed. Ruger’s cold hammer-forged barrel and one-piece bolt keep accuracy high, and the rifle feeds from detachable box magazines for quick reloads in the field.
