Description
The Ruger American Predator Gen II (46940) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .22 ARC with a 22-inch spiral-fluted cold hammer-forged threaded barrel finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote, purpose-built for varmint hunters, predator callers, and precision rimfire-to-centerfire shooters who want a flat-shooting, suppressor-ready 22 ARC bolt gun with factory optics rail and an adjustable field stock. The .22 ARC cartridge drives heavy-for-caliber bullets faster and flatter than .223 Rem at distances past 500 yards, and the 46940 packages that performance in a 6.7 lb field rifle ready for glass right out of the box.

Special Features
The spiral fluting on the 22-inch medium contour barrel removes weight from the muzzle end of the tube, shifting balance rearward toward the action and improving carry balance and point-of-aim stability without sacrificing barrel rigidity or harmonic consistency.
Burnt Bronze Cerakote covers the barrel, receiver, and bolt handle in a single matched finish, providing a corrosion and abrasion resistant coating that holds up to field moisture, brush contact, and temperature swings without chipping, peeling, or requiring regular maintenance.
The Power Bedding integral block positively locates the receiver into the stock and free-floats the barrel, eliminating stock-to-barrel contact that introduces pressure variables and degrades group consistency.
The oversized bolt handle is threaded 5/16-24 and fully replaceable, allowing the shooter to install an aftermarket handle without gunsmithing for a more customized grip during fast cycling in field conditions.
The three-position tang safety locks the bolt closed in the rearmost position, allowing safe transport of a loaded rifle and positive bolt control during carry, which suits hunters moving through terrain between stand and calling locations.
Practical Benefits
The 1/2-28 threaded muzzle with factory brake is compatible with a broad range of suppressors and centerfire muzzle devices, making the Ruger American Predator Gen II (46940) a ready-to-suppress platform without additional muzzle prep.
The AR-style 10-round magazine feeds reliably from a widely available form factor, and the detachable design allows fast reloads during prairie dog shoots or extended range sessions without slowing down between targets.
The LOP adjustment from 12 to 13.75 inches with included spacers fits a range of adult and youth shooters, making this a practical dual-purpose rifle for households running one gun across multiple users.
Whether you are dialing in coyotes at distance, shooting prairie dogs across open ground, or building a suppressed varmint platform, your Ruger American Predator Gen II (46940) gives you a factory-accurate, field-ready .22 ARC bolt gun built to cover ground and put bullets exactly where you call them.
The Ruger American Predator Gen II (46940) in .22 ARC is a capable tool for the serious varmint hunter or precision bolt-action shooter who wants a flat-shooting, suppressor-ready centerfire rifle in a lightweight, field-proven American-made platform.
