For shooters seeking a precise, user-friendly bolt-action rimfire that bridges training, small-game hunting, and range work, a well-engineered platform matters. The right balance of modular ergonomics, solid bedding, and adjustable controls makes the difference between a backyard plinker and a rifle you can truly trust for consistent groups.

RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE STANDARD

The RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE STANDARD is a Bolt Action platform built to deliver repeatable accuracy and simple user adjustments. It ships with two interchangeable standard length-of-pull stock modules so you can set comb height for scope or iron sight use; swapping modules is as simple as removing the rear sling swivel stud, and compact modules are available at ShopRuger.com.

Modular stock and handling

The ergonomic, lightweight synthetic stock blends classic lines with modern forend contouring and grip serrations for fast, repeatable hand placement. Sling swivel studs are included and the quick-change rear module system lets you tailor length of pull and comb height for different shooters or sighting setups. This modularity makes the rifle ideal for family teaching, youth shooters, or any operator who needs rapid ergonomic changes without tools.

Magazine system and controls

The rifle includes the patented, detachable, flush-mounted BX-1 10-round rotary magazine and also accepts all standard 10/22 magazines including BX-25, BX-25×2 and BX-15. An extended magazine release gives smooth, no-fuss removal of the flush-mounted magazine. Safety and handling are well thought-out: a visible tang safety and a receiver-mounted bolt release allow bolt removal without pulling the trigger — a practical, unique safety feature on rimfire bolt-actions.

Accuracy features and field performance

Ruger’s patented Power Bedding™ integral bedding block locates the receiver and free-floats the cold hammer-forged barrel, which produces consistent rifling and long service life. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger adjusts between three and five pounds for a crisp, controllable release, letting shooters tune pull weight for precision or practical-field use. A 3/8″ rimfire scope base is machined into the receiver and the action is drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases; a 60° bolt throw preserves scope clearance for optic setups.

At a price of $350.99, the RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE STANDARD offers practical value for a bolt-action rimfire with modular ergonomics, proven bedding, and a versatile magazine ecosystem. Whether you’re building a training rig, a precision trainer, or a compact field rifle, this model delivers an accessible, high-performing package — check current availability and purchase options on the shop page linked below.
