Key Features
- AR-style pin and aperture iron sights offer both elevation and windage adjustment. In addition, the rear aperture has two flip adjustable sizes for near and far sighting.
- Factory-installed, Scout length scope base for mounting intermediate eye relief scopes, optics, and night vision or thermal imaging devices.
- Splatter finished stock provides excellent grip without being too sharp or abrasive.
- Soft rubber recoil pad features a large radius on the heel for easy shouldering and improved geometry that progressively collapses to reduce felt recoil.
- Removing the installed spacer allows for length of pull to be adjusted from 13.75″ to 12″. Additional spacers of varying sizes for a more refined fit are available at ShopRuger.com.
- Low comb (included) allows for improved sight alignment when using magnified optics but can be left off when utilizing factory installed iron sights. More comb options are available at ShopRuger.com to further refine the fit.
- Professionally applied Cerakote coating on barrel, receiver and bolt handle results in a durable, easy-to-maintain finish.
- Compact, threaded barrel with factory-installed flash suppressor is cold hammer-forged, resulting in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and longevity.
