About the Ruger American Gen II Predator
The Ruger American Gen II Predator is a bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, part of Ruger's second-generation American Rifle line introduced in 2024. It features a 22-inch spiral-fluted, threaded barrel finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote, a green splatter synthetic stock with adjustable length of pull, the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger, Power Bedding integral bedding block, a three-position tang safety, and a factory-installed Picatinny scope base. It feeds from AI-style detachable box magazines and is aimed at varmint and predator hunters wanting long-range precision at a value price point.
The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering paired with the Predator's long spiral-fluted barrel makes this configuration a popular budget long-range and precision-hunting rifle, frequently used as an entry platform for coyote and deer hunters moving into extended-range shooting.
