Ruger has introduced the newest addition to the Ruger American Rifle Generation II lineup: the Scout model.
Right out of the box, the Scout gives hunters and sport shooters a ready-to-use platform that can be easily tailored to environmental and shooting needs. The Scout comes equipped with iron sights, adjustable for elevation and windage,and an extended Picatinny rail, which provides generous mounting space for a wide range of optics—from long eye relief scopes to night vision devices. Its compact 16.1-inch barrel makes it exceptionally handy for brush hunting, navigating tight spaces or working around the property.
The Scout further features a leaf‑green stock with black textured splatter for enhanced grip and control, paired with a durable Cobalt Cerakote-finished action. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and other accessories and comes fitted with an A2‑style flash hider.
These Scout models are just the latest additions to the already expansive American Rifle Gen II lineup, which continues to build on the reliability and accuracy of the original Ruger American Rifle with improved ergonomics, a three-position safety with stainless steel locking bolt and a more rigid stock. The Scout is available now in .308 Win., 350 Legend, 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39.
