Ruger has introduced the newest addition to its American Rifle Generation II lineup: the Scout model.
Designed for versatility right out of the box, the Scout gives hunters and sport shooters a ready-to-use platform that can be easily tailored to environmental and shooting needs. The Scout comes equipped with iron sights, adjustable for elevation and windage, in addition to an extended section of Picatinny rail, which provides generous mounting space for a wide range of optics—from long eye relief scopes to night-vision-compatible devices. Its compact 16.1-inch barrel makes it exceptionally handy for brush hunting, navigating tight spaces or working around the property.
The Scout also features a leaf‑green stock with black textured splatter for enhanced grip and control, paired with a durable Cobalt Cerakote-finished action. The muzzle is threaded to accept sound suppressors and other muzzle devices as desired. The Scout comes fitted with an A2‑style flash hider.
The new Scout models are just the latest additions to the already expansive American Rifle Gen II lineup, which continues to build on the reliability and accuracy of the original Ruger American Rifle with its improved ergonomics, three-position safety with stainless steel locking bolt and rigid stock. The Scout is available now in .308 Win., 350 Legend, 5.56 NATO and 7.62x39 mm. A Lipsey’s Distributor Exclusive model with Kryptek-pattern stock and smoked bronze Cerakote receiver is also available in .308 Win. only.
