Special Features
- The 1:16 inch twist rate is properly matched to the 350 Legend cartridge and stabilizes the standard projectile weights used in hunting and training loads across this caliber.
- Deep spiral flutes along the medium-contour 16.40-inch barrel shed weight at the muzzle end to improve balance during carry without reducing barrel stiffness or compromising free-float accuracy.
- The 1/2-28 thread pattern is the standard mounting pitch for 350 Legend and 9mm-rated suppressors, giving the 46962 a direct path to suppressed hunting without additional adapters.
- Ruger's patented Power Bedding integral bedding block system locks the receiver in a fixed position and free-floats the barrel, eliminating stock pressure variation that can pull shots off point of impact during extended shooting.
- Professionally applied Cobalt Cerakote on the barrel, muzzle brake, receiver, and bolt handle delivers a corrosion-resistant, easy-to-maintain surface that holds up under sustained field use in wet and abrasive conditions.
- The adjustable comb on the Gen II American stock raises or lowers cheek weld height to fit the shooter correctly under a broad range of optic heights, from compact low-mounted scopes to tall suppressor-height rings.
- The one-piece CNC-machined stainless steel bolt features three lugs and a 70-degree throw that clears most mounted optics without requiring special low-profile rings.
Practical Benefits
- Left-handed shooters gain a purpose-built left-hand action with the ejection port, bolt throw, and tang safety all positioned for natural, unobstructed left-hand operation in the field.
- The 350 Legend straight-walled cartridge qualifies for straight-walled cartridge hunting seasons where bottleneck rifle cartridges are not permitted, making the Ruger American Rifle Generation II Ranch (46962) a direct fit for those hunting regulations.
- The flush-fit AR-style magazine accepts standard AR-pattern 350 Legend magazines, giving you a broad selection of aftermarket capacity options and straightforward field reloads.
- At 6.2 pounds and 37.60 inches overall, this rifle carries comfortably during long days on stand or in the field and handles well from inside a ground blind or box blind where space is limited.
- The adjustable length of pull from 12 to 13.75 inches fits a wide range of adult shooters and adapts easily to heavier clothing during late-season cold-weather hunts.
- Whether you hunt from a blind, work the edges of crop fields, or run a suppressed setup for hog control, the 46962 gives you a compact, accurate bolt gun built around one of the fastest-growing straight-walled hunting cartridges available.
The Ruger American Rifle Generation II Ranch (46962) in 350 Legend is a practical choice for the left-handed hunter who demands a suppressor-ready, AR-magazine-compatible bolt-action rifle purpose-built for straight-walled cartridge seasons and close to moderate-range big-game hunting.
