The Ruger American Rifle Predator model includes all the features of the original Ruger American Rifle, plus a moss green stock, a heavier tapered, threaded barrel and a factory installed one-piece aluminium scope rail. This light varmint configuration is ideal for longer range pest control situations.
"The Ruger American Rifle is a proven performer, delivering outstanding accuracy right out of the box. This new Predator model offers a slightly heavier barrel and other features that our Ruger customers requested", said Ruger President and Chief Operating Officer Chris Killoy.
The threaded barrels (1/2-28 threads on .223 Rem, .204 Ruger and .22-250 Rem. models, and 5/8-24 on all other calibres) allow fitment of a variety of muzzle accessories.
