The Ruger American Rifle Generation II .308 Winchester builds on the proven Ruger American platform with a refined stock, updated ergonomics and field-ready features designed for hunters and recreational shooters. Chambered in the versatile .308 Winchester, the Generation II combines Ruger's three-lug bolt, Power Bedding® integral bedding system and Marksman Adjustable™ trigger with a spiral-fluted, cold hammer-forged barrel for dependable accuracy and consistent performance.
The redesigned stock features a grey splatter finish with textured grip surfaces for confident handling in changing weather conditions. A removable stock spacer and cheek piece allow the rifle's fit to be adjusted to suit different shooters, clothing layers or optic setups. Ruger also equips the Generation II with a factory-installed Picatinny scope base and threaded barrel, providing a practical platform that's ready to configure for the field or range.
