The Ruger American Rimfire Target is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .17 HM2 (brand part no. 8350), built with a black laminate stock that resists warping better than standard wood while adding a stable platform for precision shooting. The 18-inch satin blued barrel is threaded for a suppressor, an increasingly popular option for rimfire shooters who want reduced report during extended range sessions. A 9-round JMX-1 rotary magazine feeds smoothly and holds a strong reserve of ammunition, while a scope base is already installed, meaning the rifle is ready for glass without additional gunsmithing. Ruger’s tang safety keeps operation fast and intuitive, rounding out a rimfire target rifle built for shooters serious about accuracy.
