The Ruger American Predator in .308 Winchester is a rifle that embodies the perfect marriage of classic design and modern functionality. Designed with the discerning shooter in mind, it features an ergonomic synthetic stock crafted for swift handling, merging timeless aesthetics with contemporary forend contouring and grip serrations.
At its heart lies the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger, offering a crisp release with a user-adjustable pull weight ranging from 3 to 5 pounds. This feature ensures precision shooting tailored to individual preference, making each shot count where it matters most.
The action is driven by a robust one-piece three-lug bolt system with a smooth 70-degree throw. This configuration provides ample scope clearance while employing dual cocking cams and a full diameter bolt body for seamless cycling—key attributes when speed and reliability are paramount.
A standout innovation is Ruger's patent-pending Power Bedding system, which integrates an integral bedding block that secures the receiver firmly while allowing the barrel to free-float. The result? Minute-of-angle accuracy capable of transforming any hunt into success.
The cold hammer-forged barrel delivers ultra-precise rifling that extends longevity and simplifies cleaning processes—a testament to engineering excellence aimed at maintaining exceptional accuracy over time. Its heavier tapered profile is threaded (5/8"-24), ready for your preferred muzzle device or suppressor attachment.
This left-hand bolt-action marvel weighs in at just 6.6 lbs., striking an ideal balance between portability and stability during field use. It measures an overall length of 42 inches with five grooves cut into its bore at a twist rate of 1:9" RH—optimizing ballistic performance across various loads. Complete with sling swivel studs installed as standard equipment alongside its soft rubber buttpad engineered specifically for maximum recoil reduction; this firearm stands as both tool & companion on every adventure beyond civilization's edge.
