The Ruger American Predator with Vortex Crossfire II Riflescope is a ready-to-hunt package for varmint and predator hunters. This bolt-action rifle comes factory-equipped with a proven 3-9x40mm scope, eliminating the guesswork of mounting and zeroing. Since we added it to our lineup in mid-2024, it’s become a consistent seller for customers seeking an affordable, capable out-of-the-box hunting solution.
Stand-Out Features
- Factory-Mounted & Bore-Sighted: The Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope comes installed and bore-sighted from the factory, so you can head to the range for final zeroing.
- Ruger American Action: Features the reliable, smooth-cycling bolt action with a 70° bolt throw and the Marksman Adjustable trigger for a crisp, customizable pull.
- Predator-Configured Barrel: The medium-contour, threaded barrel (1/2″-28) is optimized for accuracy and ready for a muzzle device.
- Vortex Optics Clarity: The Crossfire II offers fully multi-coated lenses, a dead-hold BDC reticle, and a resettable turret for easy adjustments in the field.
- Integrated Scope Mounting System: The receiver is machined for Ruger scope rings (included), providing a solid, direct-mount platform that our staff notes adds minimal weight.

Your Questions Answered
Is the scope mounted with rings or a rail?
It uses Ruger’s proprietary integrated scope mounting system. The receiver is machined to accept Ruger scope rings, which are included. This provides a very low-profile, solid mount. The added weight of this system is minimal—our scale shows 0.7 oz.
Is the rifle ready to shoot out of the box?
It is factory bore-sighted, meaning the scope is roughly aligned with the barrel. You must take it to a safe range to confirm and finalize your zero with your chosen ammunition. Always perform a function check and inspect the firearm before first use.
