Ruger American Gen II Ranch 6.5 Creedmoor 16.1"

Ruger American Gen II Ranch: Compact Precision Meets Practical Design

The Ruger American Gen II Ranch represents a thoughtful evolution in compact rifle design, purpose-built for hunters and shooters who value accuracy without unnecessary bulk. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, this rifle delivers the ballistic sophistication modern hunters demand in a genuinely handy package.

Barrel and Accuracy

The 16.1" medium-contour barrel features distinctive deep spiral flutes that reduce muzzle weight while maintaining barrel stiffness and rigidity. Cold hammer-forged from quality steel, the rifling is ultra-precise, ensuring exceptional accuracy and barrel longevity. The barrel is threaded (5/8x24) and arrives with a factory-installed radial port muzzle brake that effectively manages recoil impulse.

Stock and Ergonomics

The splatter-finished synthetic stock provides excellent grip texture without sharp edges. An adjustable length of pull (13.75" to 12") accommodates shooters of different builds. The low comb design improves sight picture with magnified optics but can be removed entirely for shooters using low-mounted sights. A soft rubber recoil pad with progressive collapse geometry reduces felt recoil and features a large heel radius for comfortable shouldering.

Trigger and Controls

The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger offers a crisp, predictable release with user-adjustable pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds. The three-position tang safety locks the bolt while allowing the rifle to be loaded with the safety engaged—a practical feature for field work.

Receiver and Bolt

The steel receiver wears a durable Cerakote finish alongside the barrel, muzzle brake, and bolt handle. The one-piece CNC-machined stainless steel bolt features the familiar three-lug design with a 70-degree throw for excellent scope clearance. An oversized bolt handle ensures positive manipulation in any condition.

Accuracy Foundation

Ruger's patented Power Bedding integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver while free-floating the barrel—a proven approach to consistent accuracy. A factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope base is ready for your optic.

What's Included

Each rifle ships with a magazine and steel sling swivel studs, ready for the field.
