Special Features

• The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger delivers a crisp break with pull weight user-adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds, allowing shooters to dial in a consistent release without sending the rifle to a gunsmith.
• Patented Power Bedding integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel, producing the shot-to-shot consistency that predator hunters and varmint shooters demand.
• Deep spiral flutes on the medium contour 22 inch barrel pull weight away from the muzzle end while preserving barrel stiffness, keeping the rifle balanced under a heavy optic.
• Professionally applied Burnt Bronze Cerakote covers the barrel, muzzle brake, receiver, and bolt handle, giving the rifle a durable, corrosion-resistant finish built for extended field exposure.
• The Green Splatter stock finish provides a positive grip surface without abrasive texture, and the installed low comb optimizes cheek weld for magnified optics with higher comb options available separately.
• Length of pull adjusts from 13.75 inches down to 12 inches by removing the installed stock spacer, with additional spacer sizes available for a more refined fit.
• An optional accessory stock weight kit available from Ruger adds up to 1.6 pounds to the butt of the rifle, improving balance when running heavier muzzle devices on the threaded barrel.
• Includes one magazine and steel sling swivel studs.

Practical Benefits

• The 22 inch barrel gives .223 Rem cartridges more dwell time to build velocity, extending effective range on coyotes, prairie dogs, and other small to medium varmints at distance.
• At 6.7 lbs., this rifle is substantial enough to hold steady over a bipod during long calling sessions while remaining light enough to carry across open ground or through a saddle.
• The three-position tang safety lets you load the rifle and engage the bolt lock while moving into position, keeping your setup quiet and controlled when game is close.
• The 1:8 inch twist rate handles a broad range of .223 projectile weights, from light, fast varmint loads to heavier polymer-tipped hunting bullets, giving you flexibility to match ammunition to your target and range.
• The factory-installed Picatinny scope base lets you mount your preferred optic immediately without sourcing additional hardware, getting you to the range or the field faster.
• Whether you are running a high-magnification scope across an open field or covering broken terrain during a predator hunt, your Ruger American Generation II Predator (56909) puts a consistent, accurate .223 bolt gun in your hands ready to perform.

The Ruger American Rifle Generation II Predator (56909) in .223 Rem is a smart addition for varmint hunters and predator shooters who need a purpose-built, long-barreled bolt-action with the trigger, finish, and adjustability to perform from first light to last.
