Description
Ruger Precision Rimfire 22LR SKU #08401
For strength, stiffness, and stability, the molded, one-piece chassis and adjustable buttstock assembly are made of glass-filled nylon, providing a firm foundation for precision with every shot. The adjustable buttstock has a flat Picatinny bag rider that makes attaching a rear monopod simple. A molded-in window provides a tether point for your squeeze bag, and a metal QD pocket makes it easy to secure a sling. Adjustable in a flash Precision Rimfire stocks enable for quick and easy adjustments to the length of pull and comb height to ensure a correct fit for a wide range of shooter sizes, outerwear, and shooting positions. You can instantly revert to a previous position thanks to indicator signs molded into the chassis.
Features:
➼ Big-Gun bolt throw adjustment enables shooters to change from a rimfire 1-1/2'' bolt throw to a short-action centerfire 3'' bolt throw, reducing the chance of short-stroking your bolt in competition.
➼ Comes with 2x 10-round magazines.
➼ Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger has a pull weight range of 2.25 to 5.0 pounds; adjusting wrench is stored in a buttstock compartment.

➼ Oversized bolt handle for positive bolt manipulation (same as the Ruger Precision Rifle).

➼ 18" target barrel is cold hammer-forged from 1137 alloy steel to create ultra precise rifling for excellent accuracy. Barrels can be replaced easily by a competent gunsmith using AR-style wrenches and headspace gauges.
➼ Threaded barrel (1/2"-28) for standard muzzle accessories, like the Silent-SR suppressor, comes with a factory-installed thread protector covering both the threads and crown.
