The Ruger American Rifle Generation II Predator Model 46930 is a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt-action rifle built for hunting, predator control, and precision-oriented shooting. This Gen II Predator configuration features a 22-inch cold hammer-forged spiral-fluted barrel, 3-round AI-style detachable magazine, Green Splatter adjustable stock, Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish, threaded muzzle with factory radial-port brake, Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger, and factory-installed Picatinny scope base. Ruger confirms this exact configuration as Model 46930 / UPC 736676469307.
Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, Model 46930 uses a 22-inch medium-contour barrel with deep spiral fluting. Ruger states that the fluting reduces weight at the muzzle to improve balance without sacrificing barrel stiffness or accuracy. The barrel is cold hammer-forged and uses a 1:8" right-hand twist with five grooves.
The muzzle is threaded 5/8"-24 and comes equipped with a factory-installed radial-port muzzle brake. Ruger applies a professional Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish to the barrel, muzzle brake, receiver, and bolt handle for increased durability and easier maintenance.
The Predator is visually distinguished by its Green Splatter Gen II American stock, which complements the Burnt Bronze metalwork. The textured splatter finish is designed to provide additional grip without being overly sharp or abrasive. A soft rubber recoil pad uses progressively collapsing geometry to help reduce felt recoil.
Stock fit is highly adjustable. Length of pull can be configured between 12 inches and 13.75 inches by removing the installed spacer, while additional spacers are available for further customization. The factory-installed low comb can also be removed or replaced to accommodate different optic heights.
Model 46930 feeds from a 3-round AI-style detachable magazine. This is an important catalog distinction from Ruger American models that use flush-fit or AR-style magazines. Ruger includes one magazine with the rifle.
The rifle features Ruger's Marksman Adjustable™ trigger, providing a user-adjustable pull weight from 3 to 5 pounds. Ruger's patented Power Bedding™ integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver while free-floating the barrel.
The Gen II action incorporates an intuitive three-position tang safety that can lock the bolt to help prevent inadvertent opening while still allowing the rifle to be loaded with the safety engaged. The one-piece bolt is CNC-machined from stainless steel and uses a three-lug design with a 70-degree bolt throw for generous scope clearance.
An oversized bolt handle improves manipulation and uses a 5/16"-24 thread pattern, making replacement straightforward. There are no traditional iron sights; Ruger instead installs a one-piece Picatinny scope base at the factory.
At 6.7 pounds with an overall length of 43.25 inches, the Ruger American Gen II Predator 46930 provides a longer 22-inch barrel while remaining relatively lightweight. Ruger also offers an optional stock weight kit capable of adding up to 1.6 pounds to the buttstock for additional recoil absorption or balance adjustment.
