New Ruger American Rifle in .22lr & .22WMRF

[ntomsw]

I saw this and thought it was pretty cool. Retail is only $329.

The .22lr version, takes all regular 10/22 mags, even the BX25 mags.

The Ruger American Rimfire?

 

[hminsky]

it does look cool.

 

[exo]

So... like a 77/22 that doesn't cost a fortune, except it takes 10/22 magazines. That's pretty cool actually.

 

[Kid Presentable]

oh man thats rad. could make a nice little .22 scout rifle

I am guessing actual price would be right around $250 $275??

Not bad for a nice rimfire rifle.

Yep. As cheap as this is, my wallet just flipped me the bird.

Love this already.

 

[DesmoTull]

Shit.... Ruger needs to stop coming out with cool things.

 

[ntomsw]

Sorry, but I love the idea how it uses 10/22 mags. Pretty awesome.

This might be on my list of cheap, cool rifles to buy.

The replacement stock modules are available from Ruger for $19.95/each.

I see a compact version for the kids and getting the full size module for me/wife.

Aloha

Looks like the Savage Accu-Trigger on that rifle. Nice gun for the price. Ruger is really coming on.

 

[WallHack]

It'll just rust

It does?!

I'm interested, but would like it if it came in .17 HMR.

Bobs Gun and Archery in Webster says they've got them in stock @ $249?..

That's a really good price. That's like a 10/22 price. I am going to have to pick one of these up.

 

[RDG]

Gun and Gear in Agawam has them for $258 according to their FB post.

Ruger American Rimfire Bolt-Action 22 LR Rifle

One to come in 17hmr as well.

Any accuracy reports yet?

Just saw the link after I posted that. Looks ok to me but I'd like to see what it'll do at 100 yards.

That link I posted above, states he was shooting steel out to 200 yards. That's pretty damn good.

I first got to handle one of these American Rimfire rifles in November of 2012, but did not get to shoot one until a couple of weeks ago while at the Hunter Prep course at Gunsite in Arizona. There, I did not get to put it on paper, but did get to fire successfully at steel targets out to two hundred yards, and the rifle performed wonderfully.

Free-float too? oh boy, will definitely be buying one in 22lr.

I should really turn on my PC one of these days instead of using the phone for everything.

I'm betting these rifles will start turning up at gun shows around here this fall/winter.

No worries.

It looks like a nice, solid gun. I just think it's so cool, that they made it to accept 10/22 mags.

10/22 mags...i've heard of those...kinda like a white whale to me atm. Well, at least the mass compliant rotary ones.

edit: Just found a 2 pack in stock at Cabelas for $31.99

Ruger is bringing their A game for the past several years.

I'd like one in .17hmr too.

 

[ntomsw]

I called State Line in Mason NH today to see if they had one. Their response was: "No one in New England has any of those yet. They just came out."

Riley's has them for $290
Bob's Gun & Archery has them for $259
Guns & Gear has them for $260

And the list goes on & on.

I think the ratio of bad advice to good advice in the average gun shop runs about 10-1. That's massively better than the advice at the local big box store, but it still sucks.

Think about it- unless you owned the place if you're manning the counter in a gun shop you probably aren't exactly a Mensa candidate. If you were you'd be working someplace that paid more than $12 an hour.
