Ruger American Rimfire Compact 8303 .22 LR 18" Bolt-Action Rifle

Ruger American Rimfire Compact 22LR

The Ruger American Rimfire Compact, chambered in the versatile .22 Long Rifle, is a testament to precision engineering and adaptability. This rifle stands as an exemplar of modern rimfire technology with its wealth of features designed for both novice shooters and seasoned marksmen.

At the heart of this firearm lies the innovative Power Bedding® system, which ensures that the receiver is positively located while allowing the barrel to free-float. This design choice enhances accuracy significantly, making each shot count. The cold hammer-forged barrel further complements this by providing ultra-precise rifling that promises exceptional longevity and effortless maintenance.

This model includes two interchangeable stock modules tailored for compact length-of-pull configurations. These modules facilitate quick adjustments between scope or iron sight use without hassle—simply remove the rear sling swivel stud to switch them out in seconds. For those who prefer customization options, standard stock modules are available at ShopRuger.com.

The ergonomic black synthetic stock not only offers a classic aesthetic but also integrates modern contouring for improved handling and grip serrations ensuring reliability under various conditions. Weighing in at just 5.3 pounds with an overall length of 35.75 inches, it’s crafted for ease of maneuverability without sacrificing stability.

A key feature is its compatibility with all Ruger magazines from their iconic line-up—the flush-mounted BX-1 rotary magazine holds ten rounds but can be easily swapped out using the extended magazine release compatible with larger capacity options like BX-25®, BX-25®x2, and BX-15®. Safety has not been overlooked; a visible tang safety allows instant access when needed most.
