It’s a straightforward, effective tool that gets you on the range or in the field without fuss.
Stand-Out Features
- Factory-Paired Optics: Comes with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope mounted and bore-sighted. It’s a reliable, clear optic with a dead-hold BDC reticle, eliminating the guesswork of pairing components.
- Ruger American Action: Features the Marksman Adjustable trigger, user-adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds, and a 70-degree bolt throw for fast, smooth cycling.
- Predator Configuration: The 22-inch cold hammer-forged barrel provides consistent accuracy, and the green synthetic stock is lightweight and durable for all-weather use.
- Integrated Scope Mounting: The receiver is pre-drilled and tapped, and the package includes Ruger scope rings, so the optic is securely installed and ready for final zeroing.
- Proven Popularity: Our staff notes that a customer recently drove three hours to pick this up instead of waiting for shipping, underscoring the demand for this ready-to-go setup.

Your Questions Answered
Is the scope mounted and ready to shoot?
Yes. The Vortex Crossfire II scope comes mounted in the included Ruger rings and has been bore-sighted at the factory. You will need to perform a final zero at the range with your chosen ammunition, but it is assembled and ready for that process.
What type of FFL transfer is required?
This is a complete rifle. It must be shipped to your chosen Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder for a background check and transfer, following all federal and state laws. At checkout, you will provide your FFL’s information, or select one from our network.
Does the barrel have a threaded muzzle?
Yes. The 22-inch barrel features a 1/2″-28 TPI threaded muzzle, which is standard for .223/5.56mm. This allows for the direct attachment of muzzle devices like a compensator or flash hider, or a suppressor with the proper adapter (subject to NFA regulations).
