Ruger American Gen II Ranch Rifle – FDE Splatter Finish

The Ruger American Gen II Ranch Rifle with FDE Splatter Finish is a feature-packed, rugged firearm designed for versatility and performance. Engineered with a Flat Dark Earth (FDE) Splatter stock and 16.1-inch spiral-fluted barrel, this rifle is both visually striking and highly functional. The shorter barrel length and overall compact design make it an ideal choice for hunting, sport shooting, and tactical applications.

Key Features and Specifications

Stock and Grip
The FDE splatter-finished stock on this Ruger Gen II provides a secure grip that’s comfortable without being abrasive. This durable, textured finish is combined with a soft rubber recoil pad with a large-radius heel, improving shouldering and mitigating felt recoil. Additionally, the length of pull can be adjusted from 13.75 inches down to 12 inches by removing the spacer, with further spacer options available through ShopRuger.com. The low comb on the stock improves sight alignment with optics, though additional comb options are also available for a customized fit.

Barrel and Accuracy
The 16.1-inch spiral-fluted barrel is coated with Cobalt Cerakote, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that’s easy to maintain. This medium-contour barrel design is lightweight, yet stiff enough to maintain accuracy. The fluted design reduces weight at the muzzle end, enhancing balance. The cold hammer-forged barrel also features a 5/8”-24 threaded muzzle with a factory-installed radial port muzzle brake, reducing recoil and allowing for attachment of suppressors and other accessories. This advanced rifling method contributes to both exceptional accuracy and barrel longevity.

Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ Trigger
The Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger provides a crisp, clean pull with a user-adjustable weight between 3 to 5 pounds, allowing shooters to fine-tune it according to their preference. This adjustability enhances control and accuracy, particularly during longer shooting sessions.

Safety and Bedding System
The rifle includes an intuitive three-position tang safety that locks the bolt when engaged, preventing unintended bolt opening while allowing for safe loading. Additionally, the patented Power Bedding™ system positions the receiver precisely and free-floats the barrel, resulting in outstanding accuracy by reducing interference with barrel harmonics.

One-Piece Bolt Design and Picatinny Scope Base
The one-piece bolt is CNC-machined from stainless steel, ensuring smooth operation and durability. This bolt features a three-lug design with a 70° throw, providing ample scope clearance. The oversized bolt handle has a 5/16″-24 thread pattern, making it easy to replace or customize. The rifle also includes a factory-installed Picatinny scope base for mounting optics, adding convenience and versatility.

Weight, Balance, and Additional Accessories
Weighing in at just 6.3 pounds, this Ruger Ranch model is lightweight and maneuverable. It’s compatible with a stock weight kit that adds up to 1.6 pounds to the butt end, which helps absorb recoil and balance the rifle when using heavier muzzle devices or accessories.
