Ruger American “Go Wild” 6.5 Creedmoor – Burnt Bronze Cerakote, Threaded Barrel
Ruger’s American series earned its reputation by blending real-world accuracy with everyday practicality; the factory “Go Wild” edition ups the ante with a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish, a full camo-clad synthetic stock, and match-grade touches you rarely see at this price. Chambered in flat-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor, this 2023-built rifle carries a 22-inch cold-hammer-forged 4140 steel barrel, a crisp Marksman Adjustable™ trigger, and a factory-installed rail—all in a package that scales a hunting pack at just 6.6 lb bare. Collectors will appreciate the scarcity of unfired-looking examples; shooters will appreciate how quickly this one is ready for field or range duty.
Condition
Overall: Excellent. Only faint evidence of prior handling—no dings, scrapes, or color loss worth noting.
Metal: Cerakote surfaces retain a uniform, semi-matte sheen with just the lightest edge wear at the bolt knob.
Stock: GO WILD Camo I-M Brush pattern is vivid and unmarred; molded texturing remains sharp.
Bore: Excellent. Mirror-bright, sharp lands and grooves, no throat erosion.
Mechanicals: Bolt locks up solidly; trigger breaks at a clean 3 lb (factory setting).
What’s Included
• Ruger factory AI-pattern 3-round detachable magazine (polymer, Ruger-logo baseplate)
• Factory Picatinny rail (installed)
• Thread-on radial-port muzzle brake (installed)
• Original bolt with full-diameter nitrided body and Cerakoted handle
• Serial No. 692502084 – matching to receiver
Why this rifle stands out:
• Accuracy-first build: Ruger’s Power Bedding® aluminum block system positively locates the action, while the free-floated barrel (1:8 RH twist) wrings the best out of high-BC 6.5 Creedmoor loads.
• Suppressor-ready: 5/8-24 muzzle threads are cut concentric to the bore; remove the brake and spin on your favorite can.
• Ergonomic details: A 70° bolt throw clears large optics; a soft recoil pad and modest weight keep long days behind the glass enjoyable.
• Field durability: Burnt Bronze Cerakote on barrel, receiver, and bolt handle fights corrosion; the camo stock shrugs off weather and blends naturally in hardwoods or sagebrush.
• Shooter-tunable: The Marksman Adjustable trigger lets you set pull weight without removing the barreled action.
• Modern compatibility: Ships with Ruger’s AI-pattern magazine but accepts any AICS short-action mag you already own.
• Safety, kept simple: A two-position tang safety sits directly under the thumb—easy to verify, positive to engage or disengage.
Whether you’re stretching steel at 1,000 yards, packing into elk country, or building a capable suppressor host, this Ruger American “Go Wild” offers a ready-to-run foundation that needs little more than your choice of optic and ammunition.
