Chassis and ergonomics that matter

The MDT LSS-XL chassis transforms the RUGER AMERICAN into a platform built for repeatable zero and accessory integration. The adjustable stock lets you dial length-of-pull and comb height for consistent cheek weld, which is essential when running the included MDT night optics under varied light conditions. The 6″ optic rail provides forward mounting options for magnified scopes or red-dot co-witness setups.

Barrel, trigger, and handling

The threaded barrel with protector gives you the option to add muzzle devices or a suppressor while protecting threads in transport. The JARD 1.5 lb. straight trigger is a performance upgrade that reduces creep and encourages crisp, consistent breaks—ideal for precision work. A QD sling attachment point keeps carry simple and quick to configure for field transitions.

Magazine and duty readiness

This package comes with one 12-round magazine, which increases capacity for long days on the range and reduces reload frequency in competitive scenarios. At a Certified Used price of $1,199.99, the package represents significant value given the chassis and trigger upgrades.

The inclusion of MDT night optics with a front hood is notable for shooters who expect low-light capability without sacrificing protective coverage for the lens. Buying Certified Used means the rifle is inspected to a high standard and includes a ‘no questions asked’ return policy, lowering your risk when acquiring a performance-ready bolt action.
