Ruger American Predator Rifle Gen II Green / Bronze .350 …

Product Overview

The Ruger American Predator Rifle Gen II in .350 Legend represents a significant evolution in purpose-built hunting rifles. Designed for the modern hunter and shooter who demands reliability, accuracy, and versatility, this bolt-action rifle is engineered to excel in a variety of challenging conditions. Chambered in the straight-walled .350 Legend cartridge, it features a 22-inch barrel, a 5+1 round capacity, and a remarkably lightweight 6.5-pound frame for easy carry in the field. Finished in a distinctive Burnt Bronze Cerakote with a green splatter synthetic stock, this rifle is as tough as it is visually striking. It is an ideal choice for hunters in regulated straight-wall states, those pursuing medium game like whitetail deer or feral hogs, and shooters seeking a durable, low-recoil platform for both hunting and target practice.

Key Features

• Gen II Synthetic Stock with Green Splatter & Burnt Bronze Cerakote: The updated stock provides a more rigid and stable platform for enhanced accuracy, while the unique green splatter finish over a Burnt Bronze Cerakote barrel and receiver offers superior corrosion resistance and a rugged, tactical aesthetic that stands up to harsh environments.
• Chambered in .350 Legend: This modern straight-wall cartridge delivers effective terminal performance on medium game at common hunting ranges, with manageable recoil and excellent accuracy. It is a legally compliant choice for hunting in many Midwest states with specific straight-wall cartridge regulations.
• Lightweight & Balanced Design: Weighing just 6.5 pounds, the rifle is easy to carry on long stalks or through dense brush. The 22-inch barrel provides an optimal balance between velocity and maneuverability, making it quick to shoulder and steady on target.
• Ruger American Action with Tang Safety: The proven, smooth-running bolt action features a 70-degree bolt throw for quick follow-up shots and a convenient three-position tang safety for secure carry and handling.
• Integrated Power Bedding System & Free-Floated Barrel: The stock incorporates a unique bedding block system that creates a stable, metal-to-metal connection with the action, while the barrel is free-floated to minimize point-of-impact shift from sling pressure or stock flex, ensuring consistent shot placement.
• Mauser-Style Controlled Round Feed & Marksman Adjustable Trigger: The extractor positively controls the cartridge from the moment it leaves the magazine, enhancing reliability. The user-adjustable trigger can be set between 2.5 and 5 pounds to suit your preference for a crisp, clean break.

Performance & Applications

Straight-Wall State Deer Hunting: The .350 Legend cartridge was developed specifically for regions where rifle hunting for deer is restricted to straight-walled cartridges. The Ruger American Predator Gen II in this caliber is a top-tier tool for this application. Its flat trajectory and substantial energy transfer within 200 yards make it highly effective for ethical takedowns of whitetail deer, while the lightweight design is a significant advantage for hunters spending long days in a tree stand or ground blind.

Dense Brush & Timber Hunting for Medium Game: The rifle’s compact handling and quick-cycling bolt action are perfectly suited for hunting in thick cover for game like feral hogs or black bear. The .350 Legend projectile cuts through brush better than many smaller-caliber rounds, and the rifle’s durable Cerakote finish protects against moisture, scratches, and debris encountered in such environments.

Versatile Training & Recreational Shooting: With inherently low recoil compared to many other medium-game cartridges and the availability of affordable factory ammunition, this rifle serves as an excellent platform for developing fundamental marksmanship skills. The adjustable trigger allows shooters to tailor the pull weight, making it suitable for everything from introductory training to more precise medium-range target work, all while providing a realistic hunting rifle experience.
