The Ruger American Rifle Gen II Standard in .243 Winchester (AMRII243) brings modern updates to a trusted hunting platform — purpose-built for Australian conditions. Chambered in the flat-shooting .243 Win, this Gen II model features a grey Splatter Cerakote finish, adjustable length-of-pull stock, and a cold hammer-forged barrel, offering improved performance, weather resistance, and modularity over the original.
Designed for serious shooters and hunters alike, the Gen II incorporates Ruger's proven Marksman Adjustable™ Trigger and a one-piece Picatinny scope rail — making it scope-ready straight out of the box. The 20-inch barrel is free-floated within Ruger’s updated forend, improving accuracy without added bulk. A spiral-fluted bolt, three-lug action, and 70-degree throw ensure fast cycling and reliable lockup when it counts.
Built for everything from foxes and dogs to fallow deer and goats, the Gen II .243 holds its own even in tough North Queensland terrain. A rifle that’s ready to work — not just look good doing it.
