(NYSE-RGR), announces an all-new Predator version of the Ruger American Rifle\u00ae &#8211; the 100% American-made rifle that set a new standard of excellence among full-featured, bolt-action rifles. The Ruger American Rifle\u00ae Predator model includes all the features of the original Ruger American Rifle\u00ae, plus a moss green stock, a heavier tapered, threaded barrel and a factory installed one-piece aluminum scope rail. It is available in six calibers &#8211; .223 Rem (featuring a 1:8 Twist), .204 Ruger, .22-250 Rem., .243 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Ruger American Rifle\u00ae is a proven performer, delivering outstanding accuracy right out of the box. This new Predator model offers a slightly heavier barrel and other features that our Ruger customers requested,&#8221; said Ruger President and Chief Operating Officer Chris Killoy.<\/p>\n<p>The 6-1\/2 pound Ruger American Rifle\u00ae Predator model offers no-compromise engineering innovation, proving that a world-class rifle can still be affordable. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable\u2122 trigger offers a crisp release with a pull weight that is user-adjustable between three and five pounds. Ruger&#8217;s patented Power Bedding\u00ae system utilizes stainless-steel bedding blocks that are insert-molded into the stock to positively locate the receiver and free-float the barrel.<\/p>\n<p>The Predator retains the Ruger American Rifle&#8217;s three-lug, 70 degree bolt that provides ample scope clearance. The bolt also utilizes a full diameter body and dual cocking cams for smooth, easy cycling from the shoulder. The reliable four-round (five-round for .223 Rem. and .204 Ruger) rotary magazine fits flush with the stock and offers the smooth feed that has become the hallmark of Ruger\u00ae rotary magazines.<br \/>\nThe threaded barrels (1\/2-28 threads on .223 Rem, .204 Ruger and .22-250 Rem. models, and 5\/8-24 on all other calibers) allow fitment of a variety of muzzle accessories, including sound suppressors. This makes the new Predator model an ideal choice in the thirty-two states that allow hunting with suppressors and in the many more states that allow suppressed target shooting.*<\/p>\n<p>* Prior to purchasing, please check your state and local regulations to verify that you may legally possess such firearms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>About Sturm, Ruger &amp; Co., Inc.\u2028<\/strong><br \/>\nSturm, Ruger &amp; Co., Inc. is one of the nation&#8217;s leading manufacturers of rugged, reliable firearms for the commercial sporting market.
