The Ruger American Predator Gen II delivers precision hunting performance with its factory-threaded barrel and enhanced ergonomics. This bolt-action rifle features a burnt bronze Cerakote finish that resists corrosion while providing superior camouflage in varied terrain.
What Makes This Different
The Generation II upgrade introduces an improved trigger mechanism and enhanced stock geometry compared to the original American Predator series. The adjustable length-of-pull stock accommodates shooters from 13" to 14" pull length, while the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle devices with standard 5/8x24 threading. The burnt bronze Cerakote coating provides 50% better corrosion resistance than standard bluing.
Key Features
- Factory-threaded 22" cold hammer-forged barrel with 5/8x24 threading
- Burnt bronze Cerakote finish with green splatter synthetic stock
- Adjustable length-of-pull from 13" to 14" for custom fit

Field testing shows consistent sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making this rifle effective for predator hunting at extended ranges. The 7mm-08 Remington cartridge delivers flat trajectory and excellent terminal performance on coyotes, bobcats, and similar-sized game. The threaded barrel allows immediate suppressor attachment for reduced noise signature during dawn and dusk hunting sessions.
