Ruger reworked the American Rifle from the ground up for Generation II, and the changes are real: a spiral-fluted bolt, a factory-threaded and muzzle-braked barrel, a shorter and more ergonomic stock with adjustable length of pull, and the Ruger Marksman adjustable trigger carried forward. It remains one of the best-shooting factory hunting rifles in its class.

This one is chambered in .243 Winchester with a 20-inch barrel and a gray splatter stock. The .243 is a superb deer and varmint round, mild in recoil and flat-shooting, and it has introduced generations of new hunters to centerfire rifles.
