The Ruger American Ranch Gen II transforms the versatile 6.5 Grendel cartridge into a precision platform built for both hunting and tactical applications. This rifle combines the proven American Rifle action with modern enhancements that deliver consistent sub-MOA accuracy across varied shooting conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Gen II American Ranch features a steel receiver with integrated Picatinny rail, eliminating the need for separate scope bases while ensuring zero retention shot after shot. The 16.1-inch spiral-fluted barrel reduces weight by 8 ounces compared to standard contours while maintaining rigidity for consistent harmonics. Cobalt Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, rated for 3,000+ hours of salt spray exposure.
Key Features
- 6.5 Grendel chambering with 1:8 twist rate optimized for 120-130 grain projectiles
- Threaded muzzle (5/8-24 TPI) ready for suppressors or muzzle devices
- Adjustable comb synthetic stock in Flat Dark Earth Splatter pattern
- 10-round detachable rotary magazine with reliable feeding geometry

Field testing demonstrates consistent 1.5 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for precision hunting out to 400 yards or competitive shooting applications. The 6.5 Grendel cartridge delivers excellent ballistic coefficients with manageable recoil, while the threaded barrel allows sound suppression for hunting scenarios requiring noise reduction. Weather-sealed action components resist moisture intrusion during adverse conditions.
