The modern rimfire shooter looking for a precision bolt-action platform that balances accuracy, durability, and user adjustability will find plenty to like in a purpose-built target rifle. This rifle is designed to deliver repeatable groups, comfortable ergonomics, and straightforward optics mounting for consistent performance at the range and in small-game field roles.

RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE TARGET

Key features that matter for precision shooting

The RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE TARGET pairs a cold hammer-forged 0.860 target barrel with Ruger’s patent-pending Power Bedding integral bedding block system to free-float the barrel and positively locate the receiver. That combination reduces harmonics and helps the rifle deliver consistent groups. The factory-installed one-piece Picatinny aluminum scope rail and 60° bolt clearance make optics mounting and cycling under scope simple and reliable.

Ergonomics, controls, and magazine system

The black laminate stock with Alexander Henry forend provides a stable, non-reflective platform and includes sling swivels front and rear. A rubber recoil-reducing buttpad and an adjustable Ruger Marksman trigger (3–5 lb. user adjustable) give shooters a comfortable, repeatable interface. The rifle ships with a detachable flush-mounted 1022 BX-1 10-round rotary magazine and accepts BX-25, BX-25×2, and BX-15 magazines for extended capacity or quicker reloads. The easy-to-use 1022-style extended magazine release and a receiver-mounted bolt release that allows bolt removal without pulling the trigger are practical, safety-minded details.

Caliber options and what they offer

Available in 22 LR, 17 HMR and 22 WMR, the platform covers a wide spectrum of rimfire roles. 22 LR is ideal for training, target work, and economical range time; 17 HMR provides flat trajectory and high velocity for precision small-game work; 22 WMR adds terminal energy for longer-range rimfire applications. The rifle’s construction—satin blued alloy steel receiver, knurled thread protector, and durable components—supports reliable service across these chamberings.
