Description
Product Overview
The Ruger American Predator 26974 is a lightweight bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Win and compatible with 7.62x51 NATO ammunition. Its 18-inch cold hammer-forged alloy steel barrel is threaded 5/8x24 for compatible muzzle devices and suppressors. The Moss Green synthetic stock combines a compact profile with textured grip serrations for secure handling in the field. A Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger provides a crisp release with an adjustable pull weight from 3 to 5 pounds, while the three-lug bolt uses a 70-degree lift for smooth cycling and generous scope clearance. The factory-installed one-piece aluminum scope rail supports optic mounting, and the Power Bedding system helps maintain consistent barrel alignment. A three-round AI-Style magazine, sling swivel studs, and a recoil-reducing rubber buttpad complete the practical hunting configuration.
