Stock Fit & Handling
The Generation II stock provides more adjustment than a fixed-length hunting stock. Removable spacers allow the length of pull to be configured between 12 and 13.75 inches, giving the owner a way to adjust stock dimensions for individual fit. At a listed 6.5 lb with a 20-inch barrel, this Standard configuration also maintains relatively compact overall dimensions at 41.75 inches.
Optics & Setup
A factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope base provides the mounting interface for compatible rings and optics. The adjustable stock dimensions can also help accommodate differences in shooter proportions and optic positioning. Any rings selected should be checked for compatibility with the Picatinny base, optic tube diameter and required mounting height.
Finish & Construction
The Generation II design combines a synthetic gray splatter stock with Gun Metal Gray Cerakote-finished metalwork. The 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel uses a medium contour with spiral fluting, while the muzzle is threaded 5/8"-24 and supplied with Ruger's radial muzzle brake.
Equipment Selected With Care
The Outdoorsman focuses on clearly presented specifications and accurate product identification so customers can compare outdoor equipment using the details that matter. For this Ruger American Rifle Generation II configuration, those details include the adjustable stock system, 20-inch barrel, 3-to-5 lb adjustable trigger, Picatinny optics interface and specific .270 Winchester chambering.
