About the Ruger American Gen II Ranch
The Ruger American Gen II Ranch is a compact bolt-action rifle and the second-generation update of Ruger's American Ranch line. Chambered in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, it features a 16.1-inch spiral-fluted and threaded barrel with a Cobalt Cerakote finish, feeds from AR-style magazines, and uses a Flat Dark Earth splatter-finished stock with an adjustable length of pull. The Gen II redesign adds the three-lug 70-degree bolt, factory-set Ruger Marksman adjustable trigger, and an integral Picatinny scope base, making it a lightweight, handy rifle for ranch work, hunting, and general utility.
The original Ruger American Rifle debuted in 2011 as an affordable, American-made bolt-action; the compact American Ranch followed for short-action carbine calibers, and the Generation II overhaul in 2023-2024 modernized the whole family with fluted barrels, adjustable stocks, and an improved trigger.
