This next auction item is a Ruger American Rifle Generation II Ranch in 6.5 Grendel. Ruger’s records reflect this rifle was roll marked February 8, 2024. The rifle is a current production item, was never sold, and has never been fired beyond normal testing during manufacture. This rifle was one of Ruger’s Sales & Marketing photography samples.

This Ruger American Rifle Generation II Ranch is an update to the American-made rifle that has been the benchmark for accuracy, durability, and performance in bolt-action rifles for over a decade. The most significant improvements to the Generation II rifle are the three-position tang safety and a more rigid and ergonomic stock. Incorporated into the renowned Ruger Marksman Adjustable Trigger, the new three-position safety maintains an intuitive “push forward to fire” operation while delivering the crisp, clean break today’s consumers expect.

Redesigned for more rigidity, the stock also accommodates a removable comb riser and length of pull spacer to improve sight alignment and adjust for different statures. The Ranch model features a Cobalt Cerakote finish and is fitted to a Flat Dark Earth stock with black splatter texture. Featuring a 16-inch barrel, this rifle is light and compact. Removing the installed LOP spacer (common to all Gen II rifle stocks), transforms the rifle to an ultra-short 12″ LOP for smaller shooters right out of the box. CNC machined from stainless steel, the full diameter three-lug bolt reliably feeds from a variety of magazines and offers a short, 70 degree bolt throw, which gives ample scope clearance. The bolt handle is threaded for easy customization and fitted with an anodized round knob. The bolt and receiver have been reengineered for smooth operation.

A one-piece Picatinny scope base is installed. The AR-style magazine holds 10 rounds. The rifle will ship in its original rifle box along with one magazine, original instruction manual and marketing materials, and locking device. The rifle is being sold “as is.” The purchaser assumes all liability for its safe and proper ownership, storage, use, and resale. It is a part of the Ruger factory collection in Southport, Connecticut and a Certificate of Authenticity will be mailed to the winner of the auction. The acquisition, ownership, possession and use of firearms are heavily regulated. Some models may not be legally available in your state or locale. Whatever your purpose for lawfully acquiring a firearm – know the law, get trained and shoot safely. Details on the MidwayUSA Foundation web site at https://bit.ly/4gUuLC1
