Description
Ruger brought the Glenfield name back for one reason: to build a no-frills, working hunter's rifle that doesn't cut corners where it counts. The Model A in .350 Legend nails that brief. Under the hood you're getting a lot of proven Ruger American DNA, including the Power Bedding block system that locks the receiver in place and free-floats the barrel for consistent accuracy, plus a three-lug bolt with a short 70 degree throw that cycles smoothly and leaves plenty of room under your scope. The trigger is user-adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds and breaks clean out of the box, which is not something you always find at this end of the market.
Why the Model A in .350 Legend Makes Sense for Deer Season
The .350 Legend has become a go-to straight-wall cartridge for whitetail hunters, and for good reason. It hits hard inside 200 yards, kicks noticeably less than a .450 Bushmaster, and ammo is easy on the wallet for practice sessions. This chambering runs a 1:16 twist, 20 inch cold hammer-forged barrel threaded 1/2×28 with a factory-installed thread protector, so adding a muzzle device or suppressor is about as easy as it gets. The extended 5-round detachable magazine is AR-pattern, which means spares are cheap and easy to find.
Built for the Field, Not the Display Case
The Moss Green Splatter synthetic stock has a textured finish that gives you real purchase with cold or wet hands without chewing them up, and the scalloped grip areas and soft rubber buttpad keep things comfortable through a long sight-in session. A one-piece Picatinny scope base comes installed from the factory, sling swivel studs are already in place, and the two-position tang safety sits right under your thumb where it belongs. At 6.4 pounds bare and 40 inches overall, it carries easily into a stand or still-hunts through timber without wearing you out. Simple, accurate, American-made, and ready to hunt once you bolt on glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Glenfield Model A come with sights or a scope?
No iron sights and no scope. It ships with a one-piece Picatinny scope base already installed on the receiver, so all you need is a set of rings and your optic of choice. Most folks pair it with a mid-range 3-9x hunting scope and are ready for the range in an afternoon.
What magazines does the .350 Legend Model A use?
This chambering feeds from an AR-pattern magazine, and one 5-round mag comes in the box. That is a nice perk since AR-style .350 Legend magazines are widely available and affordable, so picking up spares is easy compared to proprietary bolt-gun mags.
Is the Glenfield Model A basically a Ruger American?
It shares a lot of the same proven design. Ruger builds the Model A, and it carries over favorites like the Power Bedding block system, the three-lug 70 degree bolt, the tang safety, and an adjustable trigger with a 3 to 5 pound pull range. Think of it as a value-focused take on that platform with a 20 inch barrel and a splatter-finish stock.
Can I put a suppressor on the 20" threaded barrel?
Yes, the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 from the factory and comes with a thread protector installed. The .350 Legend suppresses nicely, especially with heavier subsonic loads, which makes this a popular setup for hunters who want to keep the noise down.
