Ruger American Rimfire Compact 22 LR 18" Threaded

Ruger American Rimfire Compact: Precision Meets Practicality

The Ruger American Rimfire Compact is a purpose-built .22 LR rifle that combines accuracy, reliability, and user-friendly features in a trim, handy package. This is a rifle that understands its mission: delivering consistent performance whether you're training, hunting small game, or enjoying recreational shooting.

Accuracy and Handling

Power Bedding System: The patent-pending Power Bedding integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver while free-floating the barrel—a design that yields outstanding accuracy from a rimfire rifle.

Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: The 18" satin blued barrel features ultra-precise rifling (1:16" right-hand twist) that ensures exceptional accuracy, longevity, and easy cleaning. The barrel is threaded (1/2"-28) for suppressors or other muzzle devices.

Ruger Marksman Adjustable Trigger: User-adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds, this trigger allows you to dial in the perfect release for your shooting style.

Sights and Optics

• Integral 3/8" rimfire scope base machined directly into the receiver
• Drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases (bases not included)
• Williams fiber optic front sight and adjustable folding-leaf rear sight included
• 60° bolt provides excellent scope clearance

Controls and Safety

Tang Safety: Visible, accessible, and easy to actuate for instant security.

Magazine System: Accepts Ruger 10/22 magazines, including the included flush-mounted BX-1 10-round rotary magazine. Compatible with BX-15 and BX-25 magazines for flexibility.

Extended Magazine Release: 10/22-style design for smooth, no-fuss magazine removal.

Receiver-Mounted Bolt Release: Allows bolt removal without pulling the trigger—a unique safety feature among rimfire bolt-action rifles.

Stock and Ergonomics

The lightweight black synthetic stock features modern forend contouring and grip serrations for confident handling. The compact design (12.5" length of pull, 35.75" overall length, 5.3 lbs) makes this rifle ideal for younger shooters, smaller-framed adults, or anyone who values a handy, maneuverable platform.
