Ruger American Rimfire 22 WMR Target Rifle
The Ruger American Rimfire represents a thoughtful approach to precision rimfire shooting. This rifle combines proven design principles with modern manufacturing to deliver consistent accuracy and reliability.
Barrel and Action
The 18-inch cold hammer-forged barrel features a 1:14" right-hand twist and a satin blued finish that resists corrosion. The barrel is threaded 1/2"-28 and ships with a factory-installed knurled thread protector to preserve the crown. The alloy steel receiver is drilled and tapped for optics mounting, with a factory-installed one-piece Picatinny aluminum scope rail.
Accuracy System
Ruger's patent-pending Power Bedding integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver while free-floating the barrel—a design that promotes shot-to-shot consistency. The cold hammer-forging process produces ultra-precise rifling that enhances accuracy and extends barrel life.
Trigger and Safety
The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger offers a crisp, clean release with user-adjustable pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds. A visible, accessible tang safety provides instant security without fumbling.
Magazine and Controls
The rifle ships with a flush-mounted JMX-1 nine-round rotary magazine. The easy-to-use 10/22-style extended magazine release ensures smooth, no-fuss removal. A 60° bolt provides ample scope clearance, and the receiver-mounted bolt release allows field stripping without pulling the trigger—a valuable safety feature.
Stock and Handling
The black laminate stock features an Alexander Henry-style forend and rubber buttpad for secure mounting. Front and rear sling swivel studs are installed for versatile carry and shooting positions.
