Ruger American Scout II 308 Win 16.1" Leaf Green

Ruger American Scout II: Compact Precision for the Modern Rifleman

The Ruger American Scout II represents a thoughtful evolution in compact rifle design, purpose-built for hunters and shooters who value versatility without compromise. This 308 Winchester delivers the stopping power serious hunters demand in a package that handles like a dream in tight country or from a vehicle.

Barrel and Action

The 16.1" cold hammer-forged barrel arrives threaded and fitted with a factory flash suppressor, ensuring both accuracy and noise management. The one-piece stainless steel bolt features Ruger's familiar three-lug design with a 70-degree throw, providing ample scope clearance and smooth, reliable operation. An oversized bolt handle makes positive manipulation second nature, even with gloved hands.

Sighting and Optics

Factory-installed AR-style pin and aperture iron sights offer both elevation and windage adjustment, with a flip-adjustable rear aperture for near and far distances. The Scout-length scope base accommodates intermediate eye relief optics—or night vision and thermal imaging devices—exactly as Jeff Cooper envisioned. A low comb insert improves sight alignment with magnified optics and can be removed for iron sight use.

Trigger and Safety

The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger delivers a crisp release with user-adjustable pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds. The intuitive three-position tang safety locks the bolt while allowing the rifle to be loaded with safety engaged—a critical feature for hunters in the field.

Stock and Ergonomics

The Leaf Green synthetic stock features a splatter finish for excellent grip without harshness. A soft rubber recoil pad with progressive collapse geometry reduces felt recoil while the large heel radius ensures comfortable shouldering. Length of pull adjusts from 13.75" to 12" by removing the installed spacer, accommodating shooters of all sizes.

Accuracy and Bedding

Patented Power Bedding integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for outstanding accuracy. This is a rifle that will shoot.

What's Included

One magazine, steel sling swivel studs, and an available accessory stock weight kit (adds up to 1.6 pounds) to improve balance with heavier muzzle devices.
