Ruger brought the Glenfield name back for one reason: to build a no-nonsense, American-made bolt gun that regular folks can afford without giving up the stuff that matters. The Model A in .223 Rem delivers on that promise. Under the hood it shares its bones with the proven Ruger American Rifle platform, which means you get a rifle that has already earned its reputation over a decade of hard use in deer camps and on ranch trucks across the country.
The 20 inch cold hammer-forged barrel is free-floated thanks to the Power Bedding integral block system, which locks the receiver in place and keeps pressure off the barrel for consistent accuracy shot after shot. The muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28 with a factory thread protector, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device is a five-minute job. Feeding a 1:8 twist bore, this .223 handles a wide range of bullet weights, making it a solid pick for coyotes, varmints, and range work alike. The trigger is user adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds and breaks clean with no gritty take-up, which is more than you can say for a lot of rifles in this class.
The one-piece, three-lug bolt runs a short 70 degree throw, so you get fast cycling and plenty of clearance for scopes with big objective bells. A factory-installed Picatinny rail means you can mount glass the day you bring it home, and the tang safety sits right under your thumb where it belongs. The Moss Green Splatter synthetic stock has a textured finish that grips well in wet weather without chewing up your hands, plus a soft rubber buttpad and sling swivel studs already in place. At the range or in the field, this is a light, handy rifle that carries easy and points naturally.
For a first rifle, a truck gun, or a dedicated varmint rig, the Glenfield Model A checks the boxes without the fluff. It ships with one 5-round flush-fit magazine and is backed by Ruger manufacturing, so parts, magazines, and support are easy to come by.
Yes. Ruger picked up the Glenfield brand when it acquired Marlin's assets and relaunched it with the Model A. The rifle is built by Sturm, Ruger & Co. in the United States and shares its core design with the original Ruger American Rifle, so it benefits from a well-proven action.
You sure can. The 20 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory with a thread protector installed, which is the standard pitch for most .223/5.56 suppressors and muzzle devices. Just spin off the protector and thread on your can.
No sights or optic are included, but the receiver ships with a factory-installed one-piece Picatinny rail. That means you can mount rings and a scope without buying a separate base. The 70 degree bolt throw also gives you extra hand clearance for scopes with larger objective lenses.
Yes, the trigger is user adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds of pull weight. Out of the box it breaks clean and crisp with minimal take-up, and dialing it to your preference is a simple job. It is one of the standout features on a rifle in this price class.
