The Ruger American Rimfire youth rifle in .22 LR with an 18-inch threaded barrel and stainless finish (brand part no. 8306) scales Ruger’s modern bolt-action rimfire platform down for younger or smaller-framed shooters. Ruger feeds the action from a detachable 10-round magazine, and the 1/2×28 threaded muzzle keeps the platform suppressor-ready for quieter range and hunting use. A fiber optic front sight paired with an adjustable rear sight gives a fast, precise sight picture, and a tang safety keeps operation simple and intuitive for a new shooter. Among youth-sized bolt action rifles, this American Rimfire configuration favors introducing a younger shooter to a full-featured rimfire platform.
