Length-of-pull (LOP) adjustments on the Ruger American Rifle Gen 2 are achieved through interchangeable inserts placed between the buttstock and recoil pad. These inserts alter the distance between the trigger and the butt of the rifle, enabling customization for shooter comfort and proper cheek weld, critical factors in accuracy and recoil management. They come in various thicknesses, offering a range of LOP options.
Customizable fit is a significant advantage for rifle owners. By tailoring the LOP, shooters can achieve consistent shouldering, improve sight alignment, and mitigate felt recoil. This is particularly important for accommodating variations in body size, clothing thickness, and shooting styles. The introduction of easily adjustable LOP represents a notable advancement in rifle ergonomics, especially within the Ruger American’s price point.
