Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. (NYSE: RGR) has introduced the newest additions to the Ruger American® Rifle Generation II lineup: the Varmint Target models.
Designed for versatility right out of the box, the Varmint Target models give hunters and sport shooters a ready-to-use platform that can be easily tailored to environmental and shooting needs. These new models feature a fully adjustable target stock finished in Ruger’s exclusive TerrainFade™ Woodland camouflage pattern. Purpose-built for enhanced stability, the stock incorporates a squared forend and includes a removable aluminum insert featuring Magpul® M-LOK® compatible slots for accessory attachment. Length of pull is adjustable through the use of included spacers, while the push-button adjustable cheek riser helps shooters achieve proper sight alignment. A more vertical grip angle improves ergonomics and an integrated bag rider provides additional support for target applications.
Equipped with a 20″ heavy target-contour barrel, these rifles offer an ideal balance of cartridge performance and overall length when paired with a suppressor. The Graphite Black Cerakote finished action provides outstanding durability and environmental protection, while the substantial barrel profile promotes consistent accuracy during extended shooting sessions.
These new models are the latest additions to the expanding American Rifle Generation II family, which builds on the reliability and accuracy of the original Ruger American Rifle with enhanced ergonomics, a three-position safety with locking bolt, stainless steel bolt and a more rigid stock. A factory-installed one-piece Picatinny scope base allows for easy optic mounting, while the smooth-cycling three-lug bolt offers a short 70° throw for ample scope clearance. Together, these features deliver a versatile platform equally at home on the range, in competition or in the field.
The Ruger American Rifle Generation II Varmint Target models are available now in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, and 308 Winchester.
