Coyote hunters have been leaning on the Ruger American Predator for years, and the Gen II version tightens up just about everything that made the original a favorite. This .223 Rem model wears a 22 inch medium contour barrel that's cold hammer-forged and deeply spiral fluted, which trims weight and helps the rifle balance nicely on sticks or over the hood of a truck. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 and comes with a factory-installed radial port muzzle brake, so recoil is barely a conversation in this chambering. The 1:8 twist rate is a smart touch too, stabilizing heavier bullets that a lot of older .223 barrels won't shoot well.
The barreled action gets a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish that shrugs off weather and looks sharp against the green splatter-textured stock. That stock is more than good looks, though. A removable comb riser lines your eye up with a scope, and the length of pull spacer system adjusts from 13.75 inches down to a compact 12 inches, so it can fit a smaller frame or bulky winter clothing without a trip to the gunsmith. Ruger's Power Bedding block locks the receiver in place and free-floats the barrel, while the Marksman Adjustable trigger breaks clean and can be tuned between 3 and 5 pounds.
The Gen II bolt is CNC machined from stainless steel with the familiar three-lug, 70 degree throw that clears low-mounted scopes with room to spare, and the threaded bolt handle lets you swap knobs down the road. A three-position tang safety locks the bolt closed but still lets you load and unload with the safety on. Feeding comes from a 10-round AR-style magazine, which means cheap, plentiful spare mags, and the factory Picatinny rail makes scope mounting painless. At around 6.7 pounds bare, it carries easy on long walks between calling stands and settles down nicely when a dog finally commits.
Yes, this .223 Rem model feeds from standard AR-style magazines and ships with one 10-round mag. That's a big convenience since spare AR mags are affordable and easy to find just about anywhere. Note that some other calibers in the Gen II lineup use AI-style mags instead, so this applies specifically to the .223 version.
The 1:8 twist barrel is one of the best features of this model. It stabilizes heavier .223 bullets in the 69 to 77 grain range that slower twist barrels struggle with, while still shooting lighter 50 to 55 grain varmint loads just fine. That gives you a lot of flexibility for everything from prairie dogs to coyotes.
No iron sights or optic are included, but the receiver comes with a factory-installed one-piece Picatinny rail. Just add rings and the scope of your choice and you're ready to zero. The stock also includes a removable comb riser that lifts your cheek weld into proper alignment with a mounted scope.
Yes. The factory radial port brake threads onto a standard 1/2×28 muzzle, so it unscrews to accept a suppressor or other muzzle device with matching threads. The 22 inch barrel keeps velocity up, and a can pairs nicely with the mild recoil of the .223 for calling setups.
