The Ruger American Rimfire Target Rifle in .17 HMR is a testament to the enduring legacy of American craftsmanship and precision. This rifle, engineered with a satin-finished 416 stainless steel barrel, bolt, and receiver, stands as a paragon of reliability and accuracy. It comes equipped with a detachable JMX-1 rotary magazine that holds nine rounds but also accommodates the BX-15 Magnum magazine for those who require extended capacity.
Designed with an eye toward precision shooting, this model features an innovative integral bedding block system known as Power Bedding®. This patented technology ensures optimal alignment of the receiver while free-floating the cold hammer-forged bull barrel to enhance accuracy. The threaded barrel ends in a factory-installed knurled thread protector that maintains crown integrity while offering compatibility with sound suppressors such as Ruger's Silent-SR®.
The black laminate stock is both durable and ergonomic, featuring an Alexander Henry forend along with front and rear sling swivels to provide steadiness whether you're shooting from sticks or using a bipod. A rubber buttpad provides additional stability against recoil.
A hallmark feature of this rifle is its Marksman Adjustable trigger which allows shooters to set their preferred pull weight between three to five pounds—ensuring each shot can be tailored for maximum effectivity. Safety remains paramount; thus, it includes an accessible tang safety mechanism that secures swiftly when needed.
This firearm boasts not only functionality but convenience: its easy-to-use extended magazine release facilitates quick changes without hassle; meanwhile, scope mounting becomes straightforward thanks to the included one-piece scope base installed at the factory level. Additionally noteworthy is its refined bolt design—a smooth-operating component granting ample clearance for optics coupled with unique safety attributes allowing removal without pulling triggers.
