The Ruger American Predator Gen II delivers precision varmint hunting performance with its cold hammer-forged barrel and adjustable trigger system. This 204 Ruger variant combines the flat trajectory needed for long-range predator control with features that enhance accuracy and field versatility.
What Makes This Different
The Gen II Predator incorporates Ruger's patented Power Bedding system, which positively locates the receiver using integral bedding block inserts molded into the stock. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle devices without requiring gunsmithing modifications. The burnt bronze Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, while the adjustable length-of-pull accommodates shooters from 12.5" to 13.5".
Key Features
- Cold hammer-forged 22" barrel with 5/8"-24 threading for suppressor compatibility
- Marksman Adjustable trigger with 3-5 pound pull weight range
- Detachable 10-round rotary magazine with flush-fit design
- Full-length Picatinny rail machined into steel receiver for optics mounting

Field testing demonstrates consistent sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making this rifle effective for prairie dog colonies at extended ranges. The 204 Ruger cartridge delivers 4,020 fps muzzle velocity with 32-grain bullets, providing flat trajectory out to 300 yards. The synthetic stock material resists warping in temperature extremes, maintaining zero consistency across hunting seasons.
