Ruger American Rimfire 8301 .22LR Bolt-Action Rifle

Ruger American Rimfire: Precision Meets Practicality

The Ruger American Rimfire represents a thoughtful approach to .22LR rifle design. It combines proven manufacturing techniques with modern ergonomics to create a rifle suitable for target shooting, small game hunting, and marksmanship training.

Accuracy and Reliability

Power Bedding System: The patent-pending Power Bedding integral bedding block positively locates the receiver while free-floating the barrel. This design principle—separating the barrel from external pressure—is fundamental to rifle accuracy.

Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: The 22" alloy steel barrel features ultra-precise rifling with a 1:16" right-hand twist and six grooves. Cold hammer-forging creates a denser, more uniform barrel that resists fouling and extends service life.

Ergonomic Design

The lightweight black synthetic stock balances classic lines with modern forend contouring and grip serrations for confident handling. Length of pull measures 13.75"—appropriate for most shooters. The rifle weighs just 6 pounds, making it easy to carry during extended shooting sessions.

Trigger and Controls

The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger allows pull weight adjustment between 3 and 5 pounds. This user-adjustable feature lets you dial in the exact release feel you prefer. A tang-mounted safety provides instant security with visible, accessible operation.

The 60° bolt provides excellent scope clearance. A receiver-mounted bolt release allows bolt removal without pulling the trigger—a genuine safety advantage.

Sighting and Mounting

• Fiber optic front sight for rapid target acquisition
• Adjustable rear sight with V-slot folding-leaf design
• 3/8" rimfire scope base machined into the receiver
• Drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases (bases not included)

Magazine and Capacity

The rifle ships with a flush-mounted 10/22 BX-1 10-round rotary magazine. The extended magazine release operates smoothly without fuss. The rifle accepts all 10/22 magazines, including the BX-25, BX-25x2, and BX-15 options for increased capacity.
