Ruger American Rimfire 17 HMR 22" Satin Blue

Ruger American Rimfire 17 HMR: Precision Meets Practicality

The Ruger American Rimfire represents a thoughtful approach to rimfire rifle design. This is a rifle built for accuracy, reliability, and ease of use—qualities that matter whether you're a seasoned varmint hunter or discovering rimfire shooting for the first time.

Accuracy and Barrel Design

At the heart of this rifle lies Ruger's patent-pending Power Bedding system, which positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for outstanding accuracy. The cold hammer-forged barrel delivers ultra-precise rifling that ensures exceptional accuracy, longevity, and straightforward cleaning. With a 1:9" right-hand twist and 6 grooves, this 22" barrel is optimized for 17 HMR ballistics.

Trigger and Safety

The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger allows you to customize pull weight between 3 and 5 pounds—a feature that lets you dial in the perfect release for your shooting style. The tang safety is visible, accessible, and easy to actuate, providing instant security without fumbling.

Stock and Ergonomics

The black synthetic stock combines classic lines with modern forend contouring and grip serrations for confident handling. Two interchangeable length-of-pull modules (13.75") accommodate different shooting positions and sight preferences. Changing modules takes seconds—simply remove the rear sling swivel stud.

Sights and Optics

This rifle ships with Williams fiber optic front sight and an adjustable "V" slot folding-leaf rear sight for reliable iron sight shooting. The 3/8" rimfire scope base is machined directly into the receiver, which is also drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases, giving you flexibility for optics mounting.

Magazine and Controls

The detachable, flush-mounted JMX-1 rotary magazine holds 9 rounds and sits seamlessly in the stock. The 10/22-style extended magazine release provides smooth, no-fuss removal. The 60° bolt offers ample scope clearance, and the receiver-mounted bolt release allows you to remove the bolt without pulling the trigger—a genuine safety advantage.
