Description
The .300 Winchester Magnum has been dropping elk, mule deer, and everything in between for over 60 years, and the Ruger American Gen II Predator gives that proven cartridge a modern, field-ready home. At 6.5 pounds bare, this is a rifle you can carry all day into rough country without regret. The 22 inch cold hammer-forged barrel wears deep spiral fluting to trim weight and improve balance without giving up rigidity, and Ruger free-floats it with their Power Bedding block system so accuracy stays consistent shot after shot. Up front, the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle comes with a factory-installed radial port brake, which takes real bite out of magnum recoil. Swap it for a suppressor or another device whenever you like.
What the Gen II Predator Gets Right
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 oversized handle makes fast follow-ups easier with cold hands or gloves. A three-position tang safety lets you cycle the action with the safety on, and the Ruger Marksman trigger adjusts from roughly 3 to 5 pounds so you can set it where you want it. The receiver ships with a one-piece Picatinny rail already installed, so you can go straight from the box to mounting glass. Feeding comes from a 3-round AICS-pattern magazine, a nice touch if you already own mags in that footprint.
Built for Ugly Weather, Finished to Match
The barreled action wears Burnt Bronze Cerakote that shrugs off rain, sweat, and truck-bed scuffs, and it looks sharp against the green stock with its black and bronze splatter texture. That texture gives you solid purchase when things get wet without chewing up your hands. A removable spacer adjusts length of pull from 12 to 13.75 inches, and the soft recoil pad with its rounded heel shoulders quickly and helps tame what the brake does not. For a do-it-all magnum that hunts hard and shoots better than its weight suggests, this one earns its spot in the safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ruger American Gen II Predator come with sights or a scope?
It ships without iron sights, but the receiver has a one-piece Picatinny rail installed at the factory. That means you can bolt on the scope of your choice right out of the box. The three-lug bolt's short 70 degree throw also gives your hand plenty of clearance under low-mounted optics.
How bad is the recoil on this 300 Win Mag?
.300 Win Mag has a reputation, but this rifle does a lot to manage it. The factory-installed radial port muzzle brake takes a noticeable edge off, and the soft recoil pad with its rounded heel helps the rest. Most folks find it very manageable at the bench, though good ear protection is a must with any braked magnum.
What magazines does the Gen II Predator use?
It feeds from a 3-round AICS-pattern magazine, and one comes in the box. The AICS footprint is one of the most common detachable magazine standards out there, so finding spares is easy. That's a nice upgrade over proprietary mags that can be tough to track down.
Can I put a suppressor on the Ruger American Gen II Predator 300 Win Mag?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just spin off the factory radial brake and thread on your can. Ruger also offers an accessory weight kit for the stock if you want to rebalance the rifle with a heavier device up front.
