RUGER AMERICAN RANCH GEN II

A full-power .308 in a package short enough to live behind the truck seat. The Ranch Gen II wears Cobalt Cerakote over a Flat Dark Earth splatter stock, so it looks as sharp as it shoots. The factory radial brake keeps a 6.2-pound .308 civilized, and the 5/8-24 threads make adding a can an easy swap later. Add the adjustable Marksman trigger, a stock that adjusts for length of pull, and AI-style mags, and you’ve got a deer rifle that’s just as happy on the bench.

Truck-gun size, deer-rifle punch.
