Stock Fit & Handling
The Generation II stock provides an adjustable alternative to a fixed-length hunting stock. Removable spacers allow the length of pull to be configured between 12 and 13.75 inches, providing flexibility for individual fit and shooting position. The synthetic stock is paired with a soft rubber buttpad, while the 20-inch barrel and listed 41.25-inch overall length keep the dimensions relatively compact for a full-size centerfire configuration.
Optics & Setup
A factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope base provides the mounting interface for compatible rings and optics. The adjustable stock dimensions also allow the rifle's fit to be configured around individual proportions and optic placement. Scope rings should be selected according to the Picatinny interface, optic tube diameter and mounting height required for the chosen optic.
Finish & Construction
The American Rifle Generation II combines a gray splatter synthetic stock with Gun Metal Gray Cerakote-finished metalwork. Its 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel uses a medium contour with spiral fluting, while the muzzle is threaded 5/8"-24 and supplied with a radial muzzle brake. Together, these features distinguish the Generation II configuration from the original American Rifle platform while maintaining the straightforward bolt-action layout of the series.
