\"Ruger<\/a>Over the last month I’ve been shooting Ruger’s new American Rimfire. It is a very nice rifle with lots of features and it shoots very well. Best part, it costs $ 300!<\/p>\n

Last weekend my son and I took the little Ruger squirrel hunting and Bat went out every day in the rain and shot squirrels. But this week I picked up two more Ruger American Rimfire<\/a> rifles. Why do I have three? I’m writing a feature on the rifles for the National Rifle Association’s American Rifleman magazine<\/a>. Problem is, I may end up keeping more than one of them.<\/p>\n

The key feature of these rifles is the modular stock which allows you to adjust the length of pull and comb height depending on your size and whether you are shooting open sights or a scope. It is an ingenious solution to a problem that to this point has not been all that easy to solve.<\/p>\n

The last American Rimfire rifle I picked up was the Compact version in .22 Magnum<\/a>. I installed a the high and long LOP modular comb and a Redfield Battlezone TAC-22<\/a> scope and stepped outside to see what \"Ruger<\/a>\u00a0this little gem would do. And, it is a gem! At slightly over a yard long this is a shooter and a rifle that will fit big and small hunters. And, its in .22 Magnum which is a much better small game cartridge than the .22 LR by a long shot.<\/p>\n

Word is going to get out soon and you will not be able to find one of these rifles anywhere. Don’t underestimate how many readers American Rifleman magazine<\/a> reaches. I’d go out and buy one now if I was you. My pick – the Compact in .22 Magnum<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
