The Ruger American Predator Gen II in 22 ARC delivers precision long-range performance with enhanced modularity for predator hunters and precision shooters. This rifle combines Ruger's proven action with modern features like a threaded barrel and adjustable stock for maximum versatility.
What Makes This Different
The 22 ARC chambering provides superior ballistics over traditional .223 Remington, delivering flatter trajectories and increased energy retention at extended ranges. The burnt bronze Cerakote finish offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, while the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle devices without modification. The adjustable synthetic stock allows length-of-pull customization from 12.5" to 13.5" for optimal shooter fit.
