The Ruger American® Rimfire bolt-action rifle builds on the enormous success of the centerfire Ruger American® Rifle. With many of the standard Ruger American® Rifle features, this line also combines several design innovations from the popular 10/22® rimfire rifle. This combination, along with the rifle’s adaptability, will appeal to all bolt-action rifle enthusiasts – young or old, novice or experienced.
