Description

The 6.5 Grendel is one of those cartridges that quietly does everything well. Light recoil, surprisingly flat trajectory, and enough punch for deer and hogs inside sensible ranges. Pair it with the Gen II version of Ruger's American Predator and you get a genuinely capable hunting and range rifle without the boutique price tag. The 22 inch cold hammer-forged barrel runs a 1:8 twist, which stabilizes the heavier 6.5mm bullets the Grendel loves, and the deep spiral fluting trims weight off the muzzle end so the rifle balances nicely in hand at 6.7 pounds.

What the Gen II Predator Gets Right

Ruger gave the whole barreled action a Burnt Bronze Cerakote treatment, so weather and truck rides are far less of a worry than they were with a plain blued finish. The one-piece bolt is CNC machined from stainless steel with a three-lug, 70 degree throw that clears low-mounted scopes with room to spare, and the oversized bolt handle is easy to run with gloves on. The Marksman trigger is user adjustable from roughly 3 to 5 pounds, and Ruger's Power Bedding block free-floats the barrel, which is a big part of why these rifles have a reputation for shooting right around MOA out of the box.

A Stock Built for Real Hunts

The Green Splatter Gen II stock has real texture to it, tacky enough for wet mornings without chewing up your hands. A removable spacer adjusts length of pull from 13.75 down to 12 inches, so it fits smaller framed hunters or shooters in heavy winter layers. The installed low comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and the soft rubber buttpad soaks up what little recoil the Grendel produces.

Ready to Top with Glass

There are no iron sights here, just a factory-installed one-piece Picatinny base, so mounting your optic takes minutes. The 5/8×24 threaded muzzle wears a radial brake from the factory and swaps easily for a suppressor. Add a scope and ammo, and this one is ready for the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Ruger American Predator Gen II in 6.5 Grendel accept AR-15 magazines?

Yes, this model feeds from AR-style magazines and ships with one 10-round mag from the factory. That means spare magazines are cheap and easy to find compared to proprietary bolt gun mags. If you already run a 6.5 Grendel AR, your existing mags give you a nice head start.

Does this rifle come with sights or a scope?

No iron sights or scope are included. Ruger installs a one-piece Picatinny scope base at the factory, so all you need are rings and the optic of your choice. The low comb on the stock is shaped to line your eye up with a magnified scope, and it can be removed if you prefer a lower mount.

Is the 6.5 Grendel enough for deer hunting?

It is, within reasonable distances. With quality 120 to 130 grain hunting bullets, the Grendel takes whitetails and hogs cleanly out to around 300 yards, and the 1:8 twist in this 22 inch barrel stabilizes those heavier loads well. Recoil is mild, which makes it a great pick for newer hunters and younger family members too.

Can I put a suppressor on the American Predator Gen II?

Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for most 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just spin off the factory-installed radial muzzle brake and thread on your can.
