Ruger American Rimfire Bolt-Action Rifle with Threaded Barrel

Purchased this rifle a couple of months ago mounted a Vortex Diamondback 1.75-5x32 dead-hold BDC Scope on it. Great little Combination of Rifle and Scope. i will get many years of good use with this setup.

I wanted a bolt action .22 for shooting targets and hopefully some varmints at our cabin in the woods. I am new to guns and this is my first ever purchase. I wanted an American made rifle first off and secondly wanted a bolt action. The bolt is smooth, with a button to remove for cleaning or storing safely. The safety is in a great position, easy to use and simple. It is lightweight, easy to clean, and super fun to shoot. The 10 round magazine has worked flawlessly as well as the 15 round. As for accuracy I suppose it’s nice, I did lots of research before I bought, but like I said I’m new to guns so I cannot claim it’s more accurate than another. But both my 10 year old son and wife, both first timers as well can shoot pretty dang accurate at at least 25 yards.

I just bought this in 22 Mag and it will not extract fired rounds. What good is a bolt action if the bolt does not work? I purchased my first rifle, a Ruger M77, almost 45 years ago and it still works fine. I own numerous Ruger rifles and shotguns. This is more than disappointing. I wish they would refund my money.

Bought this in .17HMR about 4 years ago as a learner for all the visiting kids and curious to our farm. I topped with an old 3x9, and no recoil with an excellent trigger has them doing quite well in a short time. Biggest learning curve for newbies seems finding targets in the scope on high power. They love exploding water filled soda cans off the fence posts and the action of spinner/swingers that I make. Garden produce suffers greatly with this gun and my 10" rifle gong at 275 yards from the patio doesn't get missed very much once they dope wind and elevation. I use it to keep the cottonmouths in our ponds to a minimum. Also, this bullet doesn't skip as badly as a 22lr. Wicked little round for head shooting hogs at shorter yardage (<40), especially with the 20 grain soft points The only flaw for me is that I carry a rifle loaded and the safety will not lock the bolt on this gun. Constantly popping open to the point that I velcro strip it closed if going any distance through the brush. I'm still not a great fan of .17s but this has given good use and is fun for all to shoot.

Works great. Sighted in and was able to make one hole from 50 yards. And this gun is nice looking as well.

Love the trigger! Really appreciate the inclusion of an optional higher stock comb for scopes. The bolt could operate a lot smoother - maybe working it 5,000 times will smooth it out. Other than the bolt, extremely satisfied.

Bought my ruger american after looking at several other 22 rifles.I did have a problem with bullet shaving due to magazine shifting but, ruger was very good at fixing the problem,and they got my rifle back to me in less than three weeks.Ruger has earned my respect and I would gladly buy another rifle made by them.I love shooting my 22 and I hope to mount a red dot soon,and my 22 is easy on my wallet.

the ruger American rimfire in 22lr is a great rifle. My rifle is accurate, and the fit and finish was excellent. For any body looking for a bolt action 22lr for themselves or to introduce a child to firearms, weather for hunting or target shooting, the Ruger American rimfire is a great choice, and as a bonus it takes Ruger 10/22 mags which are available and have been around for a long time, they are proven reliable.

Decent gun for the money. Would be nice if it had a threaded barrel. Bought Burris rings and Vortex variable rimfire scope to go with it. Rings too short for good bolt clearance. Scope has decent optical quality, but variable adjustment does not have the full movement of the power ring.

Nice little rifle. Well built, accurate. Too bad the prices just keep going up on them. Prices are up over $100 in two years locally. They are a big step below the quality that the 77/22 were before they stopped making them in rimfire.

Should work with suppressor. Ruger products always solid! Easy by phone ordering, fast delivery, great price! Store personnel very efficent doing 4473. Thank you.
