Lightweight bolt-action rimfire rifles remain a top choice for precise, economical target practice and small-game work. A well-balanced rifle that combines good ergonomics with match-capable components makes it easier to shoot consistent groups and build solid fundamentals at the range.

RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE 17HMR is new in the box, never been fired and supplied with all factory accessories. It ships with two interchangeable stock modules that change comb height for optics or iron-sight use, and the lightweight black composite stock includes sling swivel studs and a 13.75″ length of pull for quick, comfortable handling.

Platform Details and Handling

The rifle’s dual stock modules give practical flexibility: raise the comb for scope use or lower it for the fiber optic front sight and adjustable V-slot rear. The 10/22-style extended magazine release speeds reloads, and the sling swivel studs make it easy to add carry solutions. For shooters who prefer a specific fit, the 13.75″ length of pull is a practical factory dimension that works well for most adults and youth transitioning to centerfire platforms.

Barrel, Sights, and Mounting Options

At the heart of the platform is a free-floated, hammer-forged barrel with a target crown and ultra-precise rifling engineered for longevity and easy cleaning. The satin-blued finish adds corrosion resistance and reduces glare in bright sunlight. Factory iron sights include a fiber optic front and folding leaf rear; additionally, the receiver comes with a 3/8″ rimfire scope base machined in and is drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases for straightforward optic mounting.
