Ruger American Rifle Generation 1

Ruger American Rimfire Target .22 LR (17" Barrel)

The Ruger American Rimfire Target .22 LR is a premium bolt-action rifle purpose-built for competitive target shooting, benchrest disciplines, and high-precision vermin control. This specific variant features a shortened 17-inch cold hammer-forged bull barrel, offering an incredibly rigid, fast-handling platform that balances perfectly when paired with a sound moderator.

Built around Ruger's legendary rimfire engineering, the rifle features a striking laminate stock and a target-crowned muzzle. It is an exceptional choice for UK shooters demanding out-of-the-box sub-MOA performance. 

Key Features

• Optimised 17" Bull Barrel: Heavy-contour, cold hammer-forged barrel provides maximum rigidity, minimizes harmonic vibration, and features ultra-precise rifling for match-grade consistency.
• UK-Ready Muzzle Threading: Prefitted with standard 1/2"-28 UNEF threads and a knurled thread protector, making it instantly ready for a sound moderator.
• Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ Trigger: User-adjustable trigger mechanism allows a clean, crisp break with a pull weight variable between 3.0 and 5.0 lbs.
• Patented Power Bedding®: Integral bedding block system securely anchors the receiver to the stock while keeping the heavy barrel completely free-floating.
• Ergonomic Laminate Stock: Hardwearing, stable wood-laminate stock providing a rigid platform for rock-solid tracking when shooting from a bipod or benchrest bag.
• Picatinny Optics Rail: Factory-installed, one-piece aluminium scope rail simplifies the mounting of high-magnification target optics.
• Rotary Magazine System: Utilises the ultra-reliable, flush-fitting 10-round BX-1 rotary magazine and accepts all standard 10/22® pattern magazines.
