\"\"Southport, CT: January 2, 2012 \u2013 Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) is proud to present the Ruger American Rifle\u2122, an all new, 100% American made bolt-action rifle that sets a new standard of excellence among value-priced, bolt-action rifles. Offered in short- and long-action calibers, the Ruger American Rifle combines the rugged\u00a0reliability of Ruger’s past with the award-winning ingenuity featured in so many of Ruger’s new products.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Ruger American Rifle delivers exciting features and outstanding accuracy at a very reasonable price,\u201d remarked Ruger President and CEO Mike Fifer. \u201cOur new rifle is lightweight and quick handling, yet manages recoil surprisingly well.\u00a0 With a great trigger, smooth-cycling bolt, and tack-driving accuracy, the Ruger American Rifle gives hunters an affordable tool to achieve success in the field,” he concluded.<\/p>\n

The 6-1\/4 pound Ruger American Rifle offers no-compromise engineering innovation, proving that a world class rifle need not come with a high price tag.\u00a0 The new Ruger Marksman Adjustable\u2122 trigger offers a crisp release with a pull weight that is user-adjustable between three and five pounds. Ruger\u2019s new patent-pending Power Bedding\u2122 system utilizes stainless-steel bedding blocks insert-molded into the stock to positively locate the receiver and free-float the barrel.\u00a0 The barrel\u2019s rifling is cold hammer forged to exacting tolerances, providing sub-MOA accuracy, long-term endurance, and a mirror-smooth finish that is easy to clean.<\/p>\n

The Ruger American Rifle’s three-lug, 70 degree bolt provides ample scope clearance, and utilizes a full diameter bolt body and dual cocking cams for smooth, easy cycling from the shoulder. The reliable 4-round, rotary magazine fits flush with the stock and offers the smooth feed that has become\u00a0the hallmark of Ruger rotary magazines. The receiver is drilled and tapped for mounting the included scope\u00a0bases.<\/p>\n

The Ruger American Rifle carries easily, shoulders quickly, and shoots comfortably, thanks to the ergonomic design of its trim, lightweight stock with an ambidextrous palm swell, forend finger relief, and soft rubber recoil pad. The easily accessible tang safety, which can be placed \u201con safe\u201d while the bolt is cycled, is complemented by the passive, trigger-mounted safety which positively locks the trigger for an additional measure of security.<\/p>\n
