Platform and build: why this rifle matters

As a Bolt Action in the Ruger lineup, this rifle carries features normally seen on more expensive rigs. The one-piece, three-lug bolt with a 70-degree throw gives generous scope clearance and quick cycling ideal for follow-up shots. The full-diameter bolt body and dual cocking cams contribute to exceptionally smooth operation; you feel those mechanics every time you chamber a round.

Precision-oriented bedding and trigger

This RUGER AMERICAN (gen I) uses Ruger’s patent-pending Power Bedding with an integral bedding block that positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel — a combination that promotes consistent accuracy. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable Trigger lets you dial a crisp, predictable break for tighter groups.

Caliber and field performance

Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, this rifle is optimized for long-range accuracy and manageable recoil. The 6.5 Creedmoor is well-suited for hunting medium game and precision target work out to extended distances, offering flat trajectory and excellent ballistic performance. The cold hammer-forged barrel and threaded muzzle provide durability and accessory options such as muzzle devices or brakes.

For hands-on buyers, the ergonomic synthetic stock with soft rubber buttpad and grip serrations make quick shouldering and follow-up comfortable in varied conditions. The tang safety and overall Ruger build quality add confidence for field use.
