The Ruger American Rifle Gen II in 6.5 PRC delivers precision long-range performance with enhanced ergonomics and upgraded features. This full-size hunting rifle combines the proven American action with modern refinements including an adjustable synthetic stock and threaded barrel for suppressor compatibility.
What Makes This Different
The Generation II upgrade introduces an adjustable length-of-pull stock system that accommodates shooters from 13" to 14" pull length. The cobalt Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, while the factory-threaded muzzle accepts 5/8x24 suppressors and muzzle devices without additional gunsmithing. The steel receiver features an integrated Picatinny rail machined as part of the receiver for maximum scope mounting strength.

The 6.5 PRC cartridge maintains supersonic velocity past 1,200 yards while delivering manageable recoil in the 7.1-pound rifle platform. The cobalt Cerakote finish withstands harsh weather conditions and field use without showing wear patterns common to traditional finishes.
