Ruger American Rifle Gen II Ranch: Compact Power in 7.62x39

The Ruger American Rifle Gen II Ranch represents a thoughtful evolution in modern rifle design, purpose-built for shooters who demand accuracy, reliability, and practical ergonomics in a compact platform.

Barrel and Action

The 16.1" medium-contour barrel features deep spiral flutes that reduce muzzle weight while maintaining the stiffness and accuracy you need. Cold hammer-forged for precision rifling, it arrives threaded and topped with Ruger's factory-installed Hybrid Muzzle Brake—a radial port design that tames recoil without excessive blast. The entire barrel, muzzle brake, receiver, and bolt handle wear a professional Cerakote finish for durability and easy maintenance.

The one-piece bolt is CNC machined from stainless steel with the familiar three-lug design and a 70-degree throw that provides ample scope clearance. An oversized bolt handle ensures positive manipulation, and the 5/16"-24 thread pattern allows easy replacement with aftermarket options.

Accuracy and Handling

Ruger's patented Power Bedding system positively locates the receiver while free-floating the barrel—a proven formula for outstanding accuracy. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger offers a crisp release with user-adjustable pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds, letting you dial in the feel that works best for your shooting style.

The three-position tang safety locks the bolt, preventing inadvertent opening while allowing the rifle to be loaded with the safety engaged—a practical feature for field work.

Stock and Ergonomics

The splatter-finished synthetic stock provides excellent grip without sharp edges. Its soft rubber recoil pad features a large radius heel for easy shouldering and progressive collapse that reduces felt recoil. The installed low comb improves sight alignment with magnified optics but can be removed for low-mounted sights. Length of pull adjusts from 13.75" to 12" via removable spacers, accommodating different shooters and gear configurations.

What's Included

Factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope base, one magazine, and steel sling swivel studs come standard. An optional accessory stock weight kit (up to 1.6 pounds) is available to fine-tune balance when using heavier muzzle devices.
