Ruger American Rail FAQ
Should I choose 0 MOA or 20 MOA?
0 MOA: Best for hunting and shooting distances from 0-500 yards.20 MOA: Essential for long-range shooting (500-1000 yards). It angles the scope down, giving you more internal elevation adjustment.
Will this fit the Ruger American Predator or Ranch?
Yes, IF it is a Short Action caliber. The "Predator" and "Ranch" are just trim levels; the receiver size is what matters. If your rifle is chambered in .308, 6.5 CM, .223, .300 BLK, or 450 Bushmaster, it is likely a Short Action. Always measure the hole spacing (3.01") to be sure.
