Ruger AMERICAN GEN II PRAIRIE
Approx. Price: 0€
The speckled finish stock provides excellent grip without being too sharp or abrasive.
The soft rubber buttplate features a wide radius at the heel for easier shouldering and an improved geometry that progressively compresses to reduce recoil.
By removing the installed spacer, the length of pull can be adjusted from 13.75" to 12". Additional spacers of various sizes for a more precise fit can be found at ShopRuger.com.
The installed low stock improves scope alignment when using magnified optics, but it can be removed when using low-mount scopes. More stock options for even finer adjustment can be found at ShopRuger.com.
The professionally applied Cerakote coating on the barrel, thread protector, receiver, and bolt handle results in a durable, easy-to-maintain finish.
The thick contoured barrel increases weight for greater stability and reduced perceived recoil.
Shallow spiral grooves increase the surface area for additional cooling.
The threaded barrel, with factory-installed thread protector, is cold hammer-forged, resulting in ultra-precision rifling that provides exceptional accuracy and durability.
The intuitive three-position safety locks the bolt, preventing unintentional opening and allowing the rifle to be loaded with the safety engaged.
The Ruger Marksman™ adjustable trigger delivers crisp shooting with user-adjustable trigger pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds.
The patented Power Bedding™ integral attachment block system precisely positions the receiver and leaves the barrel floating for exceptional accuracy.
The one-piece bolt is CNC machined from stainless steel for smooth operation, and the familiar three-lug design with a 70° twist provides ample clearance for the scope.
Oversized bolt handle for safe bolt handling, with a 5/16"-24 thread pattern for easy replacement.
Factory-installed one-piece Picatinny base for telescopic sight.
The stock counterweight kit, available as an accessory, adds up to 725 grams (1.6 pounds) to the rifle stock to absorb recoil and improve balance when using heavier muzzle devices. The counterweight kit is available at ShopRuger.com.
It also includes: a magazine; steel sling swivels.

Rifles: Longitud cañones y la velocidad
La longitud del cañón no determina la precisión intrínseca de un rifle, sino que establece un equilibrio mecánico entre la velocidad del proyectil y la rigidez del metal. Un cañón largo optimiza el aprovechamiento de los gases de la pólvora, lo que incrementa la velocidad de salida de la bala y estabiliza su trayectoria a largas distancias al resistir mejor el viento. Por el contrario, un cañón corto ofrece una estructura naturalmente más rígida que reduce las vibraciones armónicas al disparar, además de hacer que el arma sea notablemente más ligera y maniobrable. En el tiro de alta precisión moderna, los cañones cortos y gruesos suelen ser sumamente consistentes en distancias cortas y medias. Por esta razón, la elección de la longitud ideal no busca maximizar la puntería por sí sola, sino adaptar el rendimiento balístico del cartucho al entorno específico, ya sea la agilidad necesaria en la caza o la velocidad requerida en el tiro deportivo de largo alcance.

BALLISTICS OF CARTRIDGES FOR STAGS DURING THE RUT
The energy analysis shows the enormous difference between needing a cartridge for a red stag at 150 metres and wanting to retain a 2,000 J reserve at 500, 600 or 700 metres. At conventional hunting distances, standard cartridges continue to provide everything required. Magnums begin to justify their greater velocity, recoil and powder consumption as distance increases. But the most important conclusion does not appear in any table: the goal is not to choose the most powerful cartridge, but the one that retains sufficient energy and terminal velocity at the maximum distance at which we can genuinely place the shot accurately.

WALTHER RS3: INNOVATION
The Walther RS3 is interesting precisely because it does not attempt to be merely another competitor in the straight-pull hunting-rifle category. Its proposition goes considerably further. Walther has moved much of the mechanism rearward, integrated the magazine into that new layout, built the platform around a machined aluminium monocoque and positioned the center of gravity close to the shooter’s hands. The manual cocking system, optics interface and silencer concept have then been developed around that architecture.

6.5 CREEDMOOR +PEAK: FEATURES AND COMPARISON
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the 6.5 Creedmoor +Peak is not deciding whether it outperforms the 6.5 PRC, but what it represents technologically. The 6.5 PRC follows the traditional evolution: a larger capacity case allows for higher velocity. The +Peak proposes maintaining the dimensions of an extremely popular cartridge and achieving a leap in performance through new materials capable of operating at much higher pressures.
