Sturm, Ruger & Company, Inc. is proud to announce the reintroduction of the Glenfield Firearms brand. Acquired as part of the Marlin asset purchase in 2020, Glenfield returns with the launch of the new Glenfield Model A bolt-action rifle. Proudly American-made, the Model A was crafted to make hunting accessible to everyone – whether you’re just starting out or adding to your collection.
Highly inspired by the Ruger American Rifle Gen I, the Model A carries forward that same practical, no-nonsense spirit. After nearly 14 years and almost two million Gen I models produced, the original developed a devoted following, and the Model A honors that legacy by carrying forward the most valued elements of the Gen I. Priced at an MSRP $100 below comparable Gen I models, the Model A delivers trusted performance with even greater value.
The feature-rich Model A is ready right out of the box. It features a textured Moss Green Splatter stock and a matte black finish on the receiver, threaded barrel and bolt handle. The adjustable trigger offers a crisp release with a pull weight that is user adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds. Additionally, the one-piece, three-lug bolt with 70° throw provides ample scope clearance. Model A rifles will be available in several classic calibers, including 308 Win, 30-06 Sprg, and 270 Win.
“We’re excited to bring back the iconic Glenfield Firearms brand with a new product that reflects Ruger’s dedication to manufacturing affordable, American-made firearms for any and every hunter,” said Ruger President and CEO, Todd Seyfert. “The Model A is a practical, reliable rifle built for hunters of all experience levels and we’re proud to bring it to market under the Glenfield name.”
This rifle was built with simplicity in mind – no frills, just the essentials. Whether it’s your first season or your fiftieth, the Model A is a straightforward tool you can trust – affordable, reliable and ready for the field.

Nice. But do they offer them in left-handed versions? (Asking for a friend.)
I don’t think so.
Great they are keeping the original American design. Bring back the 7mm-08 and keep the 1 in 8 1/2 twist, (it was a smart move), and perhaps a black splatter stock, enough green and sand brown!
I don’t want a 30-06 or 270 with a 20″ barrel
