The Magnum Research SwitchBolt is a bolt-action .22 LR rifle finished in an ambidextrous Evolution laminate forest camo stock (brand part no. SSEFC22G). Despite sharing components with Magnum Research’s semi-automatic MLR line, the SwitchBolt itself is manually cycled, not semi-automatic. A one-piece forged 6061-T6 aluminum receiver with an integral Picatinny rail anchors the action, while a patented graphite bull barrel with uni-directional graphite fibers stays fully floated for consistent accuracy. An 11-degree target crown at the muzzle further tightens groups, and the rifle ships with one 10-round magazine ready to run. It’s built in the United States for shooters who want rimfire precision in a lightweight, durable package.
