Ruger Precision Rimfire .22 WMR 18" Threaded

Ruger Precision Rimfire: Purpose-Built for Accuracy

The Ruger Precision Rimfire represents a significant leap forward in rimfire rifle design, bringing full-size rifle features and adjustability to the .22 WMR platform. This is a rifle engineered for shooters who demand accuracy and versatility.

Chassis and Stock Design

The foundation of this rifle is a molded, one-piece glass-filled nylon chassis paired with an adjustable Quick-Fit buttstock assembly. This combination provides exceptional strength and rigidity while remaining lightweight. The design allows you to adjust both length of pull and comb height to fit your specific shooting position, body type, and outerwear—critical for consistency across different shooting scenarios.

The buttstock includes practical features: a flat Picatinny bag rider for mounting a rear monopod, a molded-in window for securing a squeeze bag, and a metal QD pocket for sling attachment. Indicating marks molded into the chassis help you return to previously dialed positions.

Bolt and Trigger System

The oversized bolt handle—identical to the full-size Precision Rifle—provides positive manipulation even with gloved hands. A unique feature is the big-gun bolt throw adjustment, allowing you to switch between a 1.5-inch rimfire throw and a 3-inch short-action centerfire throw. This flexibility reduces the risk of short-stroking during competition.

The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger offers a pull weight range from 2.25 to 5.0 pounds, with the adjustment wrench conveniently stored in the buttstock. This allows fine-tuning for your preferred trigger feel.

Handguard and Optics Platform

The 15-inch free-float aluminum handguard features Magpul M-LOK slots on all four sides, providing multiple mounting options for rails and accessories while maintaining excellent scope clearance. The anodized 0 MOA Picatinny scope base makes optics mounting straightforward and includes 30 MOA of elevation for long-range capability.

Barrel and Accuracy

The 18-inch target barrel is cold hammer-forged from 1137 alloy steel with ultra-precise rifling. The 1/2-inch by 28 threads accept standard muzzle devices, and a factory-installed thread protector is included. The barrel is easily replaceable by a competent gunsmith using standard AR-style tools.

Controls and Ergonomics

The AR-pattern pistol grip and reversible 45-degree safety selector provide familiar controls with extended reach for maximum access and control. The design accommodates most AR-style grips and selectors, allowing personalization to your preferences.

The Bottom Line

This is a serious competition and precision rifle that brings centerfire-grade engineering to rimfire shooting. Whether you're preparing for precision rifle matches, developing load data, or simply demanding the best accuracy from a .22 WMR, the Ruger Precision Rimfire delivers.
