For target shooters and rimfire enthusiasts who demand repeatable accuracy from a lightweight, reliable platform, a well-engineered bolt-action rimfire rifle can be the difference between good groups and great ones. Precision starts with bedding and barrel harmonics, and the right package will deliver consistent results both on the bench and in the field.

RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE blends smart engineering with shooter-focused features to deliver that consistency. The rifle incorporates Ruger’s patent-pending Power Bedding integral bedding block system that positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for outstanding accuracy. The cold hammer-forged barrel provides ultra-precise rifling for longevity and easy cleaning, while the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger and tang safety give a predictable, user-tuned trigger break and safe handling.

Design and Accuracy Features

The core of the RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE’s accuracy is the Power Bedding integral bedding block, which locks the receiver into a consistent position for every shot. Combined with the free-floated, cold hammer-forged barrel, the rifle minimizes external stress on the barrel and maintains repeatable harmonics for tight groups. The receiver includes a 3/8″ rimfire scope base machined into the receiver for secure optic mounting without extra plates.

Controls and Ergonomics

Practical controls make this rifle shooter-friendly: a Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger lets you dial the pull to preference, the tang safety provides conservative, intuitive operation, and the 10/22-style extended magazine release speeds reloads. The Standard model ships with an 18″ blued barrel, OD green synthetic stock with two long length-of-pull modules, sling swivel studs and a folding V-slot rear sight. It comes equipped with a flush-mounted 10/22 BX-1 10-round rotary magazine for reliable feeding.
