The modern hunting and tactical shooter wants a bolt-action rifle that balances ergonomic customization, durable finishes, and cartridge performance without breaking the bank. This rifle delivers a practical platform for field use and precision at moderate ranges while giving the shooter options to tune fit and recoil management for comfortable follow-up shots.

RUGER AMERICAN GENERATION II

Core features that matter on the range and in the field

The RUGER AMERICAN GENERATION II brings meaningful upgrades to a proven platform. Key features include a Monte Carlo-style stock for improved cheek weld, an updated recoil pad that reduces felt recoil, and adjustable comb and length of pull via spacers so you can tailor fit for glassing and optics. All Generation II rifles come with a threaded barrel for easy attachment of muzzle devices or suppressors, and the Standard model ships with a radial port muzzle brake from the factory.

Finish and ergonomics are practical: Gun Metal Gray cerakote paired with a black and gray splatter texture on the stock gives both protection and a low-profile look. The rifle includes one 5-round magazine and a pre-installed stock spacer; additional comb heights are available separately for shooters who demand a custom cheek height.

.400 Legend: purpose-built hunting performance

This Generation II Standard model is chambered in .400 Legend and fitted with a 20-inch barrel. The .400 Legend is a straight-walled cartridge optimized for modern deer hunting and states with straight-wall restrictions. It delivers heavy-for-caliber bullets and strong terminal performance inside typical hunting distances, with manageable recoil for competent follow-up shots. The combo of a 20″ threaded barrel and factory radial port muzzle brake helps tame recoil and muzzle rise when paired with stout bullet weights.

Fit, control, and accessory readiness

The adjustable Monte Carlo comb and length-of-pull spacers make this rifle adaptable for shooters wearing layered clothing or using varied optic setups. Threaded barrel standardization lets you add your preferred muzzle device; the factory muzzle brake provides immediate recoil mitigation. For hunters prioritizing fit, note that additional comb heights must be purchased separately.
