Special Features
- The Ruger Power Bedding system uses an integral bedding block to positively locate the receiver and free-float the barrel, producing consistent accuracy shot to shot without the need for aftermarket bedding work
- The factory-installed Hybrid Muzzle Brake threads directly onto the 16.4-inch barrel and is designed to redirect gases efficiently, reducing muzzle rise and keeping the rifle on target for follow-up shots
- The threaded muzzle makes this rifle suppressor-ready right out of the box, an important feature for hunters and shooters looking to run a can without additional gunsmith work
- The AR-style magwell accepts standard AR-pattern magazines, giving the shooter the ability to run higher-capacity options beyond the included 3-round magazine for range use or field applications
- The three-position tang safety is intuitive and highly functional, allowing the shooter to lock the bolt completely, enable bolt operation while keeping the trigger blocked, or go fully ready, all from one control
- The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger is user-adjustable between 3 and 5 lbs without tools, allowing the shooter to dial in a preferred break weight for hunting or precision work
- The removable comb insert and length-of-pull spacer system allows the stock to be configured for different shooters or different optic heights, making this rifle adaptable across a range of body sizes and setups
- The CNC machined one-piece stainless steel bolt features an oversized handle with a 5/16-24 thread pattern, making it easy to upgrade or replace the handle and providing a firm grip during rapid cycling
- The factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope base eliminates the need to purchase a separate rail and ensures a repeatable, solid optic mounting platform
Practical Benefits
- The .22 Creedmoor chambering delivers a flat trajectory and excellent retained energy at distance, making the Ruger American II Ranch (56913) a strong choice for open-country deer hunting, predator hunting, and long-range varmint work
- The 16.4-inch barrel and 37.35-inch overall length make this one of the most compact centerfire hunting rifles available in this caliber, which means less fatigue on long walks and easier handling in a blind or from a truck window
- At 6.2 pounds, the rifle carries easily all day without wearing down a hunter on a multi-mile trek, while the Cobalt Cerakote finish holds up to rain, mud, and hard field conditions without rusting or chipping
- The AR-style magwell opens the door to affordable, widely available magazines and higher-capacity options, which matters on predator hunts or range sessions where volume shooting is part of the plan
- The adjustable length of pull from 12 to 13.75 inches makes this rifle a genuine fit for youth hunters, smaller-framed adults, and any shooter wearing heavy clothing in the field, giving the whole family a chance to shoot the same rifle comfortably
- The suppressor-ready threaded muzzle is a long-term value feature, especially for parents introducing younger hunters to the sport who want to run a hearing-safe setup without purchasing a second rifle
- The factory Picatinny base, free-floated barrel, and adjustable trigger give the shooter everything needed to mount a quality optic and start shooting accurately without additional investment in gunsmithing or aftermarket parts
