Detailed Features: 

 
The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger has a pull weight range of 3 to 5 pounds, adjustable without tools at the factory setting. The cold hammer-forged barrel has uniform rifling throughout its length, which aids accuracy and simplifies cleaning. The Power Bedding integral block positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for consistent groups at range. 
 
A soft rubber recoil pad reduces felt recoil during extended sessions. The tang safety is easy to reach and actuate while mounted. No iron sights are included; a scope rail is installed.

Owners consistently rate the American Predator's accuracy as its strongest attribute, with most users reporting consistent groups at hunting and target distances right out of the box. The 6.5 Creedmoor caliber's versatility for both hunting and target work comes up often, and the lightweight 6.6 lb build is appreciated by hunters who carry all day.

The price-to-performance ratio gets favorable comparisons to costlier alternatives, particularly because the adjustable trigger and free-floated barrel are features typically associated with higher-priced platforms.

Common criticisms include stock feel — some users find the synthetic material less satisfying in hand than premium stocks — and finish wear under heavy field use. Factory trigger pull weight runs at the high end of the 3-5 lb range for some units, leading a few owners to adjust or replace it.
