Ruger American Rimfire Target: new block system for accuracy
The RUGER American Rimfire Target has a free-floated 18” barrel topped with a one-piece Picatinny rail, this rifle is ready for your favorite optic. The overall-length of the rimfire rifle is 37”; its weight is 6.7 lb.
The patent-pending Power Bedding® integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for a good accuracy. Its Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger offers a crisp release with a pull weight that is user adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds, allowing shooters to make that perfect shot.
A 60° bolt provides ample scope clearance and the easy-to-use, receiver-mounted bolt release allows the bolt to be readily removed without requiring a pull of the trigger, a unique safety feature among rimfire, bolt-action rifles.
