New from Ruger, the American Rimfire Target model rifle is built for exceptional accuracy. The 0.860-inch diameter, cold hammer-forged, 1/2-28-inch threaded target barrel model is available in .22 LR, .22 WMR and .17 HMR. With a free-floated barrel topped with a one-piece Picatinny rail, this rifle is optic-ready out of the box.

Like every Ruger American Rimfire rifle, this Target model features the Ruger Power Bedding integral bedding blocks, the Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger and patented, detachable rotary magazine. Additionally, the Target model also features a black laminate stock and factory-installed, knurled thread protector.

The stock features front and rear sling swivel studs, a metal trigger guard and a rubber buttpad. The Alexander Henry forend can help stabilize a shot when shooting from sticks, a bipod or sling.

MSRP: $499 for all three calibers.
