Ruger American Rifle Generation II Ranch, product number 46997, is a compact bolt-action rifle chambered in .243 Winchester, featuring a 16.10" / 40.9 cm cold hammer-forged spiral-fluted barrel, 5/8"-24 muzzle thread, factory radial-port muzzle brake, FDE Splatter Generation II stock, one-piece Picatinny rail and a detachable 3-round AI-Style magazine.
The second generation Ruger American retains the fundamental concept of the original platform while introducing a number of practical refinements. The Ranch configuration focuses on compact dimensions and comparatively low overall weight, while model 46997 combines a short barrel, modular stock, adjustable trigger, three-position safety and factory Picatinny rail.
Updated platform with changes to ergonomics, finish, muzzle configuration and controls.
Compact version with a 16.10-inch barrel and overall length under 95 cm.
Ruger American Rifle Generation II is part of the American-made bolt-action line from Sturm, Ruger & Co.
The exact 46997 model features a 16.10" / 40.9 cm barrel with a medium-contour profile. Ruger uses a cold hammer-forged construction, while the deep spiral fluting removes part of the forward weight while retaining the useful rigidity of the barrel profile.
For the .243 Win configuration, Ruger specifies a 1:9" RH twist rate and 5 grooves. The muzzle is factory threaded 5/8"-24.

Barrel: 16.10" / 40.9 cm
Profile: Medium contour
Construction: Cold Hammer-Forged

Ruger equips the Ranch Generation II with a factory-installed radial-port muzzle brake. It is mounted on the factory 5/8"-24 thread and forms part of the standard configuration of model 46997.
The factory muzzle thread is specified by Ruger for the exact model 46997.
The rifle is supplied with a factory-installed radial-port muzzle brake.
When fitting another muzzle device, compatibility must be checked for thread, geometry and the exact rifle configuration.
Ruger specifies a professionally applied Cobalt Cerakote® finish on the barrel, muzzle brake, receiver and bolt handle. The finish supports easier maintenance and adds protection to exposed metal surfaces during demanding field use.
Cobalt Cerakote finish on the spiral-fluted barrel.
Protective finish on the receiver.
The bolt handle also receives a Cerakote finish.
The factory muzzle brake follows the same protective finish concept.
One of the key features of the Ruger American platform is the patented Power Bedding™ system. Integral bedding blocks positively locate the receiver within the stock.
The design also allows the barrel to remain free-floating, helping prevent unwanted contact between the barrel and stock.
Receiver: positively located
Barrel: free-floating
Concept: integral bedding blocks
The rifle uses the Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger system. The officially specified pull-weight range is 3–5 lb, or approximately 1.36–2.27 kg.
The adjustable pull weight starts at approximately 3 lb / 1.36 kg.
The upper factory adjustment is approximately 5 lb / 2.27 kg.
Factory Ruger adjustable trigger system for tailoring the trigger pull within the specified range.
The one-piece bolt uses three locking lugs and a 70° bolt throw.
The relatively low bolt lift provides useful clearance around a mounted riflescope.
The tang-mounted safety provides three operating positions, including a position that permits bolt operation while on safe.
The bolt itself is CNC-machined from stainless steel, while the oversized bolt handle is designed for positive mechanical operation. The bolt-handle thread is 5/16"-24.
The exact model 46997 uses a Flat Dark Earth Splatter Gen II American synthetic stock. The splatter surface creates the characteristic visual appearance while also adding practical grip texture without being excessively aggressive.
The primary stock colour is FDE with a contrasting splatter finish.
The installed low comb is intended for use with magnified optics and can be removed.
The soft rubber recoil pad uses a progressive deformation design to support shooting comfort.
The Generation II stock allows the length of pull to be adjusted. With the spacer installed, L.O.P. is 13.75" / approximately 34.9 cm. With the spacer removed, it is reduced to 12" / approximately 30.5 cm.
This provides greater flexibility for adapting the rifle to body size, clothing and the preferred shooting position.
Minimum: 12" / ≈30.5 cm
Maximum: 13.75" / ≈34.9 cm
Adjustment: spacer system
For the exact model 46997, Ruger officially specifies Capacity: 3 and an AI-Style magazine. The capacity is therefore listed as 3 rounds rather than 3+1, following the manufacturer's exact specification.
The official stated capacity for model 46997 is 3 rounds.
The exact configuration uses a detachable AI-Style magazine.
The magazine is removable for practical handling and servicing.

Factory-installed one-piece rail for a stable mounting solution.
Allows an appropriate optic to be selected according to the intended application.
