Ruger 8350 American Rimfire Target 17 HMR 18" Blued

Ruger American Rimfire® Target .17 HMR Rifle

In the realm of rimfire rifles, Ruger has asserted its dominance with the American Rimfire® series. The Target variant in .17 HMR stands out as a paragon of precision and adaptability. This rifle is not just a tool for marksmanship; it is an embodiment of engineering excellence.

The versatility begins with Ruger's innovative stock system. Each rifle comes equipped with two interchangeable stock modules, allowing you to adjust comb height based on your shooting needs—whether utilizing scopes or traditional iron sights. The compact models provide short lengths of pull, while standard versions offer longer options. Changing these modules requires nothing more than removing the rear sling swivel stud—a task that takes mere seconds and can be accomplished without specialized tools.

The heart of this firearm lies in its Power Bedding® integral bedding block system. This patent-pending technology ensures that the receiver is positively located while allowing the barrel to free-float, which enhances accuracy significantly. Coupled with a cold hammer-forged target barrel boasting ultra-precise rifling, shooters will experience exceptional shot consistency over extended use.

Every shooter appreciates a good trigger pull, and here Ruger does not disappoint. The Marksman Adjustable™ trigger offers a crisp release adjustable between 3 to 5 pounds—tailoring each shot's feel precisely to your preference.

This model features an alloy steel construction finished in satin blued elegance paired with a robust black laminate stock featuring an Alexander Henry forend for added stability during firing sequences whether off sticks or bipods. A rubber buttpad anchors effectively against recoil forces ensuring consistent shoulder placement shot after shot.
