Ruger took a rifle that already earned its stripes and made it better where it counts. The Ruger American Rifle Gen II keeps the rugged, do-it-all foundation you expect, then adds a handful of practical upgrades that hunters and shooters will notice immediately. A three-position safety for confident handling, an easy comb riser for dialing in cheek weld, length-of-pull adjustment to fit different shooters or layered clothing, and a muzzle brake that comes off without a fight so you can swap accessories fast.
American Rifle Gen II’s Accuracy
This isn’t fluff. The Gen II is built around repeatable accuracy and real-world durability. The kind of rifle you want when you’re glassing ridgelines at first light, sneaking past brush after coyotes at dusk, or running drills at the range. The stock geometry and bedding give a rock-steady platform, the action accepts a wide range of optics and mounts so you can get on target quicker. And the ergonomics plus a clean, predictable trigger keep follow-ups fast and consistent.
