Description
The Glenfield name has been around since the days when you could pick up a dependable deer rifle at the local department store, and Ruger revived the brand with exactly that spirit in mind. The Model A is built in the USA around a one-piece, three-lug bolt with a 70 degree throw, which gives you fast, smooth cycling and plenty of knuckle clearance under a mounted scope. Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, this rifle covers just about everything in North America, from whitetails and hogs up to elk and black bear, and the 1:10 twist barrel stabilizes the full range of classic hunting bullet weights.
A Working Rifle From the Glenfield Model A Playbook
The 20 inch cold hammer-forged barrel keeps the whole package handy at 40.5 inches overall and right around 6.5 pounds, which you will appreciate on long walks to the stand or still-hunting through timber. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 with a factory thread protector, so adding a suppressor or muzzle brake down the road takes minutes, not a trip to a gunsmith. The barrel is also free-floated, a detail plenty of rifles in this class skip, and it pays off when accuracy counts on that first cold-bore shot.
Set Up the Model A Your Way
A one-piece Picatinny scope base comes installed on the matte black alloy steel receiver, so all you need is a scope and rings to be range ready. The trigger is user adjustable from roughly 3 to 5 pounds, letting you dial in a pull weight that suits your style, and the tang safety sits naturally under your thumb whether you shoot right or left handed. The Moss Green Splatter synthetic stock has a textured finish that grips well with cold or wet hands without chewing them up, plus a soft rubber buttpad to tame .30-06 recoil and sling swivel studs already in place. A flush-fit 4-round detachable magazine makes loading and unloading at the truck quick and painless. For a first deer rifle, a backup gun for camp, or a rig you will not baby, the Model A is a lot of rifle in a simple package.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Glenfield Model A come with sights or a scope?
There are no iron sights on this rifle, but a one-piece Picatinny scope base comes installed from the factory. All you need is a set of rings and the optic of your choice. A 3-9x hunting scope pairs nicely with a 20 inch .30-06 like this one.
Is the Glenfield Model A made by Ruger?
Yes, it is manufactured in the USA by Ruger, which acquired the Glenfield name along with Marlin. The Model A shares its DNA with the original Ruger American rifle, including the three-lug bolt, adjustable trigger, and tang safety. Glenfield was historically Marlin's value line, and Ruger revived the brand for this rifle.
Can I put a suppressor on the Model A's threaded barrel?
The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes, and a factory thread protector is included. Most .30 cal cans will spin right on with no extra hardware needed.
What can I hunt with a .30-06 Glenfield Model A?
The .30-06 Springfield is one of the most versatile big game cartridges ever made. With the right bullet, it handles everything from deer and hogs to elk, moose, and black bear. The 1:10 twist barrel works well with the full spread of common hunting bullet weights, so you can match your ammo to the game.
