Good shooting rifle
I'm very pleased with the look and accuracy of this rifle. I have noticed that since Cabelas offered this rifle it's been featured under centerfire bolt action rifles and not under rimfire bolt action rifles which may put a crimp in your sales of this rif

Very accurate after some fine tuning.
I purchased the Ruger American Rimfire Target in 17 HMR from Cabelas. As it came from Ruger the machining on the bolt was rough, and none of the screws were torqued to spec.

Worst Ruger I ever bought
I just bought this in 22 Mag and it will not extract fired rounds. What good is a bolt action if the bolt does not work? I purchased my first rifle, a Ruger M77, almost 45 years ago and it still works fine. I own numerous Ruger rifles and shotguns. This i

Good after minor adjustments
This a is a great rifle with one very huge exception. Every time I would draw the bolt back to eject the spent casing after firing, the casing would hang up in the chamber and the bolt would basically come back empty. It was by all accounts worse than a s

Ruger’s Rule!
I wanted a bolt action .22 for shooting targets and hopefully some varmints at our cabin in the woods. I am new to guns and this is my first ever purchase. I wanted an American made rifle first off and secondly wanted a bolt action. The bolt is smooth, wi

Dead On
Dead on accurate, at 100 yards, 3 inch group no sights. That's one thing my granddad said never buy a rifle with out sights, and never had. Used them, but always if I can't see it with my own eyes, why try to hit it. Haven't missed yet. And

Great Little Rifle
I ordered this on a Sunday and it arrived on the following Tuesday. Great service from Academy and the rifle is very accurate. Ruger did a good job with this little gun. Love the clip, safety and the open sights. Can’t wait to put a scope on it to s

Very good with a few warts.
First let me say that I own a Ruger American Rimfire 22lr (non-target version) also and its accuracy and reliability is why I hunted down this one (the target version, also in 22lr) and purchased it. The bad: Ruger seems to have some QC problems. When I p

Amazing Rimfire
After shooting two of these fine rifles I had to order my own. Both rifles shot incredibly well. When I did my part I could get 1/2 -1" groups from 50 yards. The bolt was buttery smooth in both rifles. The bolt has an enlarged handle that is both fun
