Ruger American Predator 204 Ruger with Vortex Scope

Ruger American Predator: Purpose-Built for Precision

The Ruger American Predator represents a thoughtful approach to rifle design—combining accuracy, reliability, and practical features in a package that serves both experienced hunters and those new to the sport.

Accuracy and Reliability

The bolt system features a one-piece, three-lug design with a 70-degree throw, providing ample scope clearance while maintaining the strength and reliability Ruger rifles are known for. The full-diameter bolt body and dual cocking cams ensure smooth, effortless cycling even in cold conditions.

Barrel and bedding work together to deliver consistent accuracy. The cold hammer-forged barrel is free-floated within Ruger's patent-pending Power Bedding system—an integral bedding block that positively locates the receiver while allowing the barrel to vibrate naturally. This combination delivers minute-of-angle accuracy you can depend on.

Ergonomics and Handling

The lightweight synthetic stock is designed for quick, intuitive handling. Modern forend contouring and grip serrations provide positive control, while the soft rubber buttpad reduces recoil harshness. The tang safety offers straightforward operation.

Trigger and Controls

The Ruger Marksman adjustable trigger breaks cleanly and consistently, allowing you to shoot your best. Magazine and sling swivel studs are included.

The Vortex Advantage

This package includes a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x44mm scope—a proven optic that delivers bright, clear images across a useful magnification range. You're ready to hunt from the moment you open the box.
