Ruger American Rifle Compact Bolt-Action Rimfire Rifle with Adjustable Fiber-Optic Sights – .22 Magnum

I picked this rifle up and have been very pleased. It chews through even the cheapest bucket of bullets. It is more than capable out of the box. As long as you clean it now and again it will keep working trouble free for a long time.

i had savege bgtv xp paid like 600for it the one with heavy barrel and thumbhole stock it was accurate but thiso ne is more accurate...iron sights are super accurate but mine was shooting right and you cant adjust the wind that why 4star for it but 3 shots with iron sights at 50yards under 1/2inch i was surprised...mounted with votrex diamomonback scope shoots 100yards under and inch..i hit water bootle at 200yards form first shot...most accurate 17hrm iv ever shot in my life DONT HEISTATE TO BUY!!!!

I finally received this rifle after 3 1/2 weeks in .22WMR, but when I opened the box, I noticed the rear sight was broken (which is why it's 4/5 rated). On the bright side, I already planned it to use a scope with it. I took it out to try it with 30 round shot with High Velocity Winchester ammo about 50-60 yards. No missfire and jam, also extremely accurate. I recomment this to anyone that wants 22wmr. its awesome.

I bought mine a year ago and I've out 700 rounds thru it. No jams. No problems. I had to sand down a couple mags that wouldn't slide in and out, but this is my favorite gun to shoot. Great training gun to save money. Two stock system is easy to switch and the iron sights are really accurate and fun to shoot . Really well built firearm.

I bought and sold 3 other bolt 22 rifles before I found this one. It is my grouse gun and very accurate. I love having the rotary magazine which to me is great not have a magazine sticking out of the stock when carrying in the field.

I bought this rifle in 22wmr and couldn't be happier. I put a Bushnell 3.5-10×32 scope on it and got it all sighted in. The trigger is great on these ruger American rifles! I have put Winchester fmj, Winchester hv, cci hp+v, cci maxi-mag and hornady vmax through my rifle and have never had a single misfire, failure to feed, or failure to eject. It also groups awesome with all those different rounds but does best with the hornady vmax. I highly recommend this rifle and will be buy a ruger American rifle in either .204 or .223.

I've had my .22 magnum for about 2 years now. It is quite seriously accurate with a decent scope out to 100 meters and the only thing I can fault it on is that the bolt can be tricky to remove and replace occasionally (as a result I leave the bolt in).

I have been shooting since I was 7. I have the .22 and it feels great and is accurate. I have had it for 3 years and no problems. I would recommend this gun 100%.

got this 22 mag and based upon some of the reviews thought i would see if I had those particular problems that some others had with their rifles, the feel of it , nice, now lets try the clip's how do they work to feed shells and ejection from gun, works as suppose to , fantastic clip's on mine is nice and tight and snaps into place, ( JMX-1 clips 9 shot 22 WMR ) trigger pull from factory is good, my bolt comes out very nice as well, from some of the other reviews, perhaps i was lucky with my rifle but i am very pleased with this rifle only fired off 3 clips so far but all is good at this point in time, and it really feels like a nice rifle in my hands similar to my center fire rifle's even the weight is nice with a 3x9 scope attached, nice work Ruger , good sale price cabelas, and when bullets were on sale saved $ 20.00 + tax on the troy landry 200 count box another good deal,,,,, not a fan of plastic stocks but I recommend based upon my review of my rifle,,,,,,,

Great rifle overall, but the magazine has its own issues. Replacement magazines or a 10/22 mag work much better than the one that came with the gun due to the angle it feeds the rounds into the chamber. The 10.22 mag pushes the bullet up more than the stock one. The Bolt is smooth, but I did have a defect in the bluing on the rear of the bolt. I found rust forming after being away on a trip. Barrel is otherwise perfect, and shoots under 1 MOA at 100 meters. I mounted hybrid optics, irons and a 22.Mag Simmons 4x32. Fun gun to keep things cheap at the range.

Have had this Ruger American Rimfire in 17hmr for nearly a year, this gun is accurate as heck. Never had any problems in the operation of this gun, fired nealry 700 rounds threw and zero issues with any. Mounted a Vortex Crossfire 2-7x32, this thing drives tacks all day. Only complaint with this is, my rear sight pin fell out, luckily it was at home on the floor so was easy to find.

Bought the American .17 HMR new. Fired two rounds and failure to extract showed up every round after that plus the magazine would not drop you had to press it out from the top. Sent it back for warranty. One shop in all of Canada does warranty for Ruger and that's in Quebec. While waiting over 7 weeks for it's return I find many others on line complaining about the same problem ages ago. Ruger just continued selling the rifle with no recall for an obvious default in their design. It is now repaired and hammers tacks all day and extracts every time and new magazine drops as it should.

Simple to clean. Shoots great. Great balance. The one thing negative I found is when shooting off of a bag, the mag release can leave you in a pickle. Also to note, check YouTube for trigger spring mods. Totally different gun. Just buy it. Don’t look at anything else and waste valuable time when you could be shooting. 300 yard steel gong was a heck of a lot of fun with bad boy when I topped it with a Nikon scope. Buy and enjoy!

My dad bought this gun looking for a fun 22 to plink with at the range. The bolt works great, the sights are awesome, and it’s a lot of fun. Unfortunately I can’t say the same for the magazines. Both the magazine that came with the gun and a second one we bought both had seating problems. The front of the magazines wouldn’t lock up properly, and would come out of battery - only by a few millimeters, but enough to cause the next round to jam when running the bolt. A quick tap on the base of the mag would reseat it and get the gunning running again, but still kind of frustrating. We’re looking into long term fixes now. Hopefully it doesn’t require sending the gun back to Ruger.

I bought it less than a year ago. I've had problems ejecting spent rounds and now I can't get the bolt out. The action still works, but the bolt release doesn't. Do yourself a favour and do not buy this rifle.

Bought the RAR 22LR (22") a year and a half ago as our first gun to teach my boys to shoot. Very pleased with it. Even though it is a polymer stock, it still has a nice feel to it. The bolt action is silky smooth, and the kids keep coming back to it over the fancy CZ 22 that I bought after. My CZ bolt bangs your thumb against the scope zoom knob but the Ruger has a clearer, nicer action. The two cheek comb's are a nice feature. My youngest can use the higher comb while I use the regular lower one. I use Leupold Rifleman see through rings such that you can sight through the scope or use the iron sights. The fibre optic front sight is nice, and the back one is the standard 10/22 sight. I haven't had any problems with the 10 round rotary magazine that some of the other users mentioned. We shoot mostly from bags on the bench and I like the flush magazine. The marksman's type trigger is good also. I did discover that I get less fail-to-fires when the bolt is good and clean, but probably true for most 22's. Being a bolt gun, it is not too fussy about which ammo. The only problem now is that my boys have moved on to bigger calibers! So don't know if I'll sell it or wait for grandchildren.

Had this rifle in 22wmr for a couple years. Put a vortex copperhead scope on it and with hornady vmax bullets itll shoot 3/4" groups at 50 yds. Put several thousand rounds through it and has performed flawlessly. It'll hammer gophers all day out past 150yds. Strongly recommend it.

I bought one of these rifles about 6 months back. Upon receiving it the magazine was so loose in the stock that it would not feed the rounds into the chamber at all. I had the gun for 10 minutes and it was packed up and set back and I bought a new CZ 457 which is awesome.

Just got it and sighted in. 18" barrel w/adult pull. Front sight is too big and bright for accurate shooting past 20 yds. i put a riflescope on it immediately. Everything else is fantastic. Truly.

for the price the quality of this is hard to beat.its accurate and feeds smooth.the stock has a solid feel unlike some others.
