Description
The 6mm ARC has earned its reputation as a flat-shooting, light-recoiling cartridge that punches way above its size, and the Ruger American Gen II Predator gives it a proper home. The 22-inch medium contour barrel wears deep spiral flutes that trim weight from the muzzle end for better balance in the field, and the 1:7.7 twist rate is built to stabilize the long, high-BC bullets this cartridge was designed around. Ruger threads the muzzle at 5/8×24 and installs a radial port brake from the factory, so you can shoot it as-is, spin on your own suppressor, or swap muzzle devices without a trip to the gunsmith.
What the Gen II Predator Gets Right
The Gen II upgrades are more than cosmetic. The barrel, receiver, brake, and bolt handle wear Burnt Bronze Cerakote that shrugs off weather and wipes down easy after a wet day in the stand. The one-piece bolt is CNC machined from stainless steel with a three-lug, 70-degree throw that clears low-mounted scopes without banging your knuckles. A three-position tang safety locks the bolt closed while still letting you load or unload with the safety on, and the Marksman Adjustable trigger breaks clean anywhere from 3 to 5 pounds, set to your preference. Ruger's Power Bedding block system free-floats the barrel, which is a big part of why these rifles group so well for the money.
A Stock That Fits More Than One Shooter
The green splatter-finished synthetic stock grips well without chewing up your hands or gear, and it adjusts to fit. Pull the included spacer and length of pull drops from 13.75 inches down to 12, handy for younger hunters or shooting in heavy winter layers. The installed low comb riser lines your eye up with magnified glass, and it comes off if your setup sits lower. Feeding comes from a 10-round AR-style detachable magazine, so spares are cheap and everywhere.
Setting Up Your Ruger American 6mm ARC
There are no iron sights, but the factory-installed one-piece Picatinny rail means you can mount a scope and head to the range the same day. At 6.7 pounds bare, it carries easy on long walks after coyotes and settles down nicely on a bipod when the shot stretches out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 6mm ARC a good choice for hunting with the American Gen II Predator?
It is a great fit for predators, varmints, and deer-sized game at reasonable ranges. The cartridge shoots flat with mild recoil, and the rifle's fast 1:7.7 twist stabilizes heavy, high-BC bullets that hold up well in the wind. It is an easy rifle to shoot accurately, which matters more than raw horsepower for most hunts.
Can I put a suppressor on the Ruger American Gen II Predator?
Yes. The 22-inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for most .30 caliber and 6mm-compatible suppressors and muzzle devices. Just unscrew the factory radial brake and thread your can on directly.
Does this rifle come with a scope or sights?
No sights or optics are included, but Ruger installs a one-piece Picatinny scope base at the factory. That means you can bolt on rings and a scope without buying a separate base. The removable comb riser on the stock also helps get your eye behind magnified glass.
What magazines does the Gen II Predator in 6mm ARC use?
It feeds from detachable AR-style magazines and ships with one 10-rounder. Since 6mm ARC runs in 6.5 Grendel pattern AR magazines, spares are affordable and widely available. That is a nice perk over proprietary bolt gun mags that can be pricey and hard to track down.
