Features

The Ruger American Rimfire is a right‑hand bolt‑action rifle chambered in .17 HMR, designed for accuracy, reliability, and compact handling. It features a 16.1‑inch cold hammer‑forged alloy steel barrel with a 1:9 twist rate and a satin blued finish for consistent rifling and durability. The barrel is threaded 1/2 x 28 and fitted with a thread cap, supporting compatibility with common rimfire muzzle devices. Feeding is handled by a detachable 15‑round Ruger BX‑15 magazine, while the satin blued alloy steel receiver includes a factory‑installed one‑piece Picatinny rail for direct optics mounting. A 60‑degree bolt throw provides ample scope clearance and smooth cycling.

The rifle is housed in a lightweight synthetic stock finished in Flat Dark Earth, featuring modern forend contouring and grip serrations for secure handling. A high comb pad and 13.75‑inch length of pull support consistent cheek weld, and the interchangeable stock module system allows quick adjustment by removing the rear sling swivel stud. Accuracy is enhanced by the integral Power Bedding system and a Ruger Adjustable Marksman trigger with a pull weight adjustable from three to five pounds. Additional features include a tang‑mounted safety, an extended magazine release, and sling swivel studs. The rifle measures 35 inches in overall length, weighs 5.3 pounds, and is well suited for hunting, target shooting, and precision rimfire use.
