Ruger American Gen II Prairie: What You Need to Know
The Ruger American Rifle Gen II Prairie is Ruger’s hunting-focused take on the American platform. It pairs a smoked bronze Cerakote barreled action with a black synthetic stock that has a gray and bronze splatter texture for better grip in wet or cold conditions. The barrel is a cold hammer-forged, fluted bull contour that helps shed weight and heat, and the muzzle is threaded so you can add a brake or suppressor.
Features
The Prairie is chambered in a wide range of cartridges, from .22 ARC up to 7mm PRC, so there is a version for varmints, deer and long-range big game. It also has a stainless steel locking bolt and a three-position safety. Ruger launched it at an MSRP of around $729, which keeps it competitive for a modern, barrel-forward hunting rifle.
