Ruger American Rimfire Sighted .22LR 10+1 18in Satin Stainless Threaded - Black

Get a rimfire that's easy to handle, accurate, and ready for a suppressor with the Ruger American Rimfire Sighted Compact in .22 LR. It has an 18-inch threaded barrel, a shorter 12.5-inch length of pull, and a 3-to-5-pound adjustable trigger. It suits young shooters, smaller-framed adults, and anyone who wants a light, quick-handling bolt-action .22 for plinking, small game, or the range.

The 18-inch cold hammer-forged alloy steel barrel has a satin blued finish and 1:16" right-hand twist rifling with six grooves. It's threaded 1/2"-28 and ships with a factory thread protector. Ruger's patented Power Bedding integral bedding block system locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for consistent accuracy.

Williams fiber optic front and adjustable rear sights are on the rifle, so you can shoot right out of the box. When you're ready to add optics, a 3/8" rimfire scope base is machined into the receiver, and the receiver is also drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases. Two interchangeable compact stock modules give you comb height options for iron sights or a scope. You can swap them in seconds by removing the rear sling swivel stud.

The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger breaks crisply and adjusts from 3 to 5 pounds. A 60-degree bolt throw gives ample scope clearance, and the receiver-mounted bolt release lets you remove the bolt without pulling the trigger. The tang safety is easy to reach, and the lightweight black synthetic stock has grip serrations and modern forend contouring. The rifle weighs 5.3 pounds and is 35.75 inches long.

It includes a detachable, flush-mounted BX-1 10-round rotary magazine with an extended magazine release, and it also accepts all Ruger 10/22 magazines, including the BX-25, BX-25x2, and BX-15. Sling swivel studs are installed.
