Ruger American Rifle Generation II Scout bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, with a 16.1-inch barrel.
The Scout is the compact, fast-handling member of the American Generation II family. The 16.1-inch barrel keeps overall length short for work in timber, from a vehicle, or anywhere a full-size rifle is awkward, while .308 Winchester gives up very little practical performance at the ranges a rifle like this is used. The barrel is cold hammer-forged and free-floated, and it comes threaded from the factory with a muzzle device fitted, so running a suppressor or swapping brakes needs no gunsmithing.
The Generation II action carries over the features that make the platform punch above its price. A three-lug bolt gives a short 70-degree lift that clears low-mounted optics. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger lets the shooter set pull weight from roughly 3 to 5 pounds without disassembly. Ruger's Power Bedding system beds the receiver on integral blocks for consistent barrel-to-stock fit, and the stock accepts spacers to tune length of pull. Feeding is from an AI-pattern detachable box magazine, and the tang safety sits naturally under the thumb.
A practical short-barreled .308 for hunting in close country, truck-gun duty, or as a compact suppressor host.
