You used to be able to buy a Marlin 336 back in the day that was branded as a Glenfield. They were budget versions of 336.
How does this differ from an American? Too lazy to get up and check, but...the pic looks identical to me; receiver profile, safety, bolt knob, trigger lever, stock, etc.
Sounds like back when Savage sold off a bunch of old receivers and parts by branding them as Stevens 200. But that rifle differed from the Savage 110 line by having no Accutrigger. This new Glenfield might be Ruger's move towards phasing out the Gen1 Americans that are still being sold right next to the Gen2 guns?
Weird and confusing that they would choose the Glenfield name, but they own Marlin now, so maybe this is an effort to more closely align the Marlin and Ruger names and lineups in the eyes of consumers?

Nope. At least not yet. They look like Ruger American Predators, and those ARE available in LH, so maybe in the future?

Looks like the stocks are painted similar to the GenII guns. That one simple change has vastly improved the looks of them, IMHO. I generally like the American, including the stock ergos and general feel, but that molded single-colour plastic was uuuuugly.
Thats what I thought. Just selling off old stock under a different name? Seems odd. Oh well.
Yeah, it is maybe a bit weird, but right now selling the old and the new gen's side by side with the same name on them is also far from ideal. The difference between the GenI and GenII Americans is far greater than the difference between the Savage 110 and the Stevens 200 models was back in the day.
Do you mean they actually had something in stock?
There is hope.
The last 100+ items I was searching, they were out of stock, like 90% on their website.
What are you looking for that is out of stock?
Countless items I was looking up online, your site always came up, and when I searched it, the items were always out of stock.
Fair enough, if you have a specific item you are looking for I can try and give you an ETA.
