The Ruger American Rifle Predator is a reliable and versatile bolt-action rifle designed for hunters and precision shooters who value performance and affordability. It features the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger, which allows for a crisp release with a pull weight adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds, enabling shooters to fine-tune the trigger to their preference for improved accuracy. The rifle is equipped with an ergonomic, lightweight synthetic stock that combines a classic appearance with modern forend contouring and grip serrations for better handling. To reduce recoil, the rifle includes a soft rubber buttpad. The Predator model features a one-piece, three-lug bolt with a 70° throw, offering ample scope clearance and smooth cycling thanks to its full-diameter bolt body and dual cocking cams. Ruger’s patented Power Bedding system, which includes an integral bedding block, ensures the receiver is positively located and the barrel is free-floated, enhancing accuracy. A factory-installed Picatinny scope base provides a solid platform for optics, further contributing to the rifle’s outstanding accuracy. The rifle’s heavier tapered, cold hammer-forged barrel, which is threaded and comes with a factory-installed thread protector, delivers exceptional precision and longevity. Additionally, the tang safety is easily accessible and provides a secure, visible safety mechanism. The rifle also comes with a detachable magazine and sling swivel studs, making it a well-rounded and practical choice for various hunting and shooting applications.
