Since Ruger American Gen II rifles first hit the market in December, 2023, Ruger’s done nothing but dominate the “do-it-all on a workingman’s budget” bolt-action rifle market. Ruger continues its commitment to expanding one of America's most trusted hunting rifle platforms. American Rifle Gen II Patrol models are available in both intermediate and long-range calibers, ranging from 5.56 NATO up to 7mm PRC.

Ruger’s latest American Generation II Patrol models feature a bull contour, cold hammer-forged barrel that helps to mitigate recoil and a Graphite Black Cerakote barreled action.

The black stock is textured with gray splatter for excellent grip and control in the field.

Newest chamberings include: .338 ARC, .300 Win Mag, and 7mm PRC.
