The Ruger American Rifle in 22-250 Remington delivers exceptional long-range accuracy for varmint hunting and precision shooting at an accessible price point. This bolt-action rifle combines proven engineering with modern manufacturing techniques to create a platform that consistently outperforms rifles costing significantly more.
What Makes This Different
The American Rifle features Ruger's patented Power Bedding system, which uses integral bedding block inserts that positively locate the receiver and free-float the barrel for enhanced accuracy. Unlike traditional rifles that rely on wood or synthetic stock compression, this system maintains consistent barrel harmonics shot after shot. The rifle's three-lug bolt design provides a short 70-degree throw for faster follow-up shots compared to traditional two-lug systems.
Key Features
- 22-250 Remington chambering for flat trajectory and minimal wind drift out to 400+ yards
- 4-round rotary magazine with flush-mount design for streamlined profile
- Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger system with 3-5 pound pull weight range
- Cold hammer-forged barrel with 1:14 twist rate optimized for 40-55 grain bullets
- Integral scope mounts machined directly into receiver for zero bedding stress
- Black composite stock with textured grip surfaces and length-of-pull spacers
- Tang safety for ambidextrous operation and secure carry
The 22-250 Remington cartridge excels in prairie dog towns, coyote calling setups, and long-range target shooting where wind-bucking performance matters. The rifle's sub-MOA accuracy potential makes it suitable for competitive shooting disciplines, while the lightweight polymer stock reduces fatigue during extended hunting sessions. Weather-resistant finish and stainless steel components ensure reliable function in harsh field conditions.
