Special Features

• The factory-installed scout-length scope base positions optics forward of the action, allowing the use of intermediate eye relief scopes, thermal imaging, and night vision devices without any additional rail purchases or gunsmith work
• The AR-style iron sights include a windage-adjustable rear aperture with two flip-selectable aperture sizes for near and far shooting distances, giving the shooter a fully functional backup sight system that is practical rather than decorative
• The cold hammer-forged 16.1-inch barrel is threaded at the muzzle and ships with a factory-installed A2 flash hider, making it suppressor-ready and muzzle-device compatible right out of the box
• The Ruger Power Bedding system uses an integral bedding block to positively locate the receiver and free-float the barrel, producing consistent shot-to-shot accuracy without aftermarket bedding work
• The three-position tang safety locks the bolt completely in the first position, blocks the trigger while allowing bolt operation in the second, and goes fully ready in the third, giving the shooter precise control over the rifle in any situation
• The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger allows pull weight to be set anywhere between 3 and 5 lbs without tools, making it easy to dial in the right break for hunting or precision field shooting
• The removable stock spacer adjusts length of pull between 12 and 13.75 inches, and additional spacers are available from Ruger for a more precise fit across different shooters or clothing layers
• The CNC machined one-piece stainless steel bolt with oversized handle provides a firm, positive grip during cycling and features a 5/16-24 thread pattern for easy handle customization or replacement
• The AR-style detachable magazine makes reloading fast and straightforward, and the 10-round capacity gives the shooter meaningful capacity for predator hunting, range training, or field carry

Practical Benefits

• The 5.56 NATO chambering accepts both 5.56 NATO and .223 Remington loads, giving the shooter access to the widest possible selection of affordable, widely available ammunition for training, hunting, and general field use
• The 16.1-inch barrel and 37.35-inch overall length make the Ruger American II Scout (46965) one of the most compact and portable centerfire bolt-action rifles available, ideal for truck carry, blind hunting, and long-range stalks where a standard-length rifle becomes a burden
• At 6.5 pounds, this rifle carries comfortably all day, and the Cobalt Cerakote finish on the barrel, receiver, and bolt handle holds up to rain, mud, blood, and hard field conditions without rusting or degrading
• The forward-mounted scout rail opens up a range of practical optic configurations including scout scopes, thermal, and night vision, giving predator hunters and hog hunters a genuine low-light and nighttime capability without additional mounting hardware
• The fully functional AR-style iron sights provide a reliable backup system that works immediately if an optic fails, which matters on a hunting trip or any situation where getting back on target quickly is essential
• The adjustable length of pull makes this rifle a solid fit for youth hunters, smaller-framed adults, and shooters wearing heavy cold-weather layers, giving multiple family members or hunting partners the ability to use the same rifle comfortably
• The threaded muzzle and factory flash hider make this rifle an immediate candidate for suppressor use, which is a meaningful advantage for parents introducing youth hunters to centerfire shooting or anyone hunting in situations where hearing protection is not practical

The Ruger American Rifle Generation II Scout (46965) in 5.56 NATO is a reliable pick for hunters, tactical shooters, and families who want a compact, suppressor-ready, iron-sighted bolt-action that covers everything from predator hunting and training to field carry and youth shooting with one versatile and well-built platform.
