Long range and rimfire aren\u2019t exactly synonymous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ultra-affordable .22lr round is great for practice and hunting small game, but is woefully underpowered when compared to any centerfire rifle round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which makes Ruger\u2019s newest bolt gun a very peculiar firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, Ruger is taking their bolt-action American rimfire rifle and placing it in an old-school precision rifle stock that bares a striking resemblance to the Mcmillan stock used on the Military M40 sniper rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since this little rifle is chambered in .22lr, it is by no means a sniper rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What it appears to be is a precision rifle meant for shooting targets and small game within 100 yards. This might seem underwhelming to some, but the little gun will definitely find a niche with shooters out West looking for a cheap way to dispatch groundhogs and other varmints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The new target rimfire rifle from Ruger accepts standard 10\/22 pattern magazines.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Interesting, and from the looks of it, it seems that the gun is practically loaded with impressive features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The most interesting features for shooters like myself, is the inclusion of a heavy threaded barrel and a monolithic scope rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This combination makes for a ton of inexpensive and quiet plinking in the backyard. The new Ruger American Rimfire Long-Range Target rifle retails for $599. For even more information, visit www.Ruger.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
