The Ruger American Rifle Generation II Predator in .308 Win is a lightweight bolt-action hunting rifle built around a threaded, spiral fluted 22-inch barrel with a factory radial port muzzle brake (Ruger part no. 46931). Ruger finishes the barrel, brake, receiver and bolt handle in Burnt Bronze Cerakote and pairs them with a Green Splatter Gen II American stock. The Marksman Adjustable trigger, Power Bedding and a factory Picatinny scope base are all standard, so the rifle is ready for glass right out of the box. It suits predator hunters, varmint stands and deer hunters who want a trim rifle that carries easily and takes a suppressor or other threaded muzzle device.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .308 Win, a short-action cartridge with a long record on deer, hogs and predators.
• The barrel is 22 inches with a medium contour and deep spiral flutes, which trim weight toward the muzzle without giving up stiffness.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, so a suppressor or other standard muzzle device can be mounted when you want one.
• A factory-installed radial port muzzle brake comes on the barrel and helps tame recoil from the .308 Win.
• Capacity is 3 rounds in a detachable AI-style magazine, and one magazine is included.
• The rifling twist is 1:10 right-hand, a rate that suits the bullet weights most commonly loaded for .308 Win hunting.
• The metalwork wears Burnt Bronze Cerakote on the barrel, muzzle brake, receiver and bolt handle for a durable, easy-to-maintain finish.
• The Green Splatter Gen II American stock has a soft rubber recoil pad, an installed low comb and a length of pull adjustable from 12 to 13.75 inches by removing a spacer.
• The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger lets you set pull weight anywhere from 3 to 5 pounds.
• The rifle weighs 6.5 pounds, which keeps it comfortable on long walks and climbs.
