The Ruger American Rimfire rifle in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire is engineered for consistent accuracy and versatile utility, addressing the requirements of experienced shooters who demand reliable rimfire performance. This bolt-action system integrates design elements focused on precision, adjustability, and operational simplicity to optimize utility in various shooting applications.
Key Features
Precision Engineering
The core of this system’s accuracy is the **Power Bedding** integral bedding block design. This patent-pending system precisely locates the receiver within the stock, effectively free-floating the cold hammer-forged barrel. This configuration mitigates stock-to-barrel contact during firing, promoting consistent barrel harmonics for repeatable point of impact. The **cold hammer-forged barrel** features ultra-precise rifling, contributing to exceptional accuracy, extended service life, and simplified maintenance. The **Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger** mechanism provides a crisp, clean release. Its pull weight is user-adjustable from 3 to 5 pounds, allowing precise optimization for specific shooting disciplines and shooter preference.
Optimized Ergonomics & Functionality
Each rifle includes **two interchangeable stock modules**, facilitating rapid adaptation to shooter preference and optic choice. These modules provide distinct comb height options, optimizing the shooter’s cheek weld for either scope or iron sight use. Module changes are executed swiftly by removing the rear sling swivel stud, and all four available stock modules are cross-compatible across the American Rimfire platform. A **10/22-style extended magazine release** ensures smooth, positive removal of the flush-mounted magazine, enhancing operational efficiency. The **60-degree bolt throw** provides generous clearance for mounted optics, while the receiver-mounted bolt release allows for safe, tool-less bolt removal without requiring trigger manipulation. A visible, accessible, and tactile **tang safety** provides immediate and intuitive system security.
Sighting & Mounting
The receiver features a **3/8″ rimfire scope base machined directly into the action**, providing a robust mounting interface for optics. It is also drilled and tapped for compatibility with Weaver #12 bases (not included). Integrated **Williams fiber optic front sight** and an **adjustable V-slot folding-leaf rear sight** provide reliable open sight capabilities.
