Ruger American Scout II 7.62x39 16.1" Leaf Green
Ruger's American Scout II in 7.62x39 combines a compact 16.1" threaded barrel with adjustable iron sights and scout-style scope base. Leaf green synthetic stock, adjustable trigger, and free-floated barrel deliver accuracy in a handy platform.
The Modern Scout Rifle
The Ruger American Scout II represents a thoughtful evolution of the scout rifle concept—a compact, handy rifle designed for real-world use rather than bench shooting. Chambered in 7.62x39, it offers proven ballistics in a platform that handles like a rifle half its capability.
Sighting Systems
The rifle ships with AR-style pin and aperture iron sights featuring both elevation and windage adjustment. The rear aperture includes two flip-adjustable sizes for near and far distance shooting. A factory-installed scout-length scope base accommodates intermediate eye relief optics, night vision, or thermal imaging devices—giving you flexibility to configure the rifle for your specific mission.
Accuracy and Handling
The cold hammer-forged barrel is compact at 16.1 inches and threaded with a factory-installed flash suppressor. Ruger's patented Power Bedding system free-floats the barrel while positively locating the receiver, delivering the accuracy you expect from a modern rifle. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger offers a crisp release with user-adjustable pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds.
Ergonomics and Control
The leaf green synthetic stock features a splatter finish for positive grip without sharp edges. An oversized bolt handle ensures positive manipulation, while the three-position tang safety locks the bolt and prevents inadvertent opening. A soft rubber recoil pad with progressive collapse geometry reduces felt recoil and improves shouldering comfort.
Length of pull adjusts from 12 to 13.75 inches by removing the installed spacer. A low comb (included) improves sight alignment with magnified optics but can be removed for iron sight use.
