My LGS has a couple due in today. One is supposed to have a 18" barrel and the other a 22". I'm sure they will sell like hotcakes but as best as my LGS can tell there is not a threaded version yet. Why Ruger would be late for that part of the game is beyond me. View Quote The lack of a threaded barrel will keep me from buying one, but I looked at one today and I was impressed. As soon as the barrel is threaded for my Sparrow I will buy one. |

Given when Ruger brings out a threaded version of anything it's at least $100.00 more I'm just going to take my RARc to my Smith to have it done exactly the way I want it. My Smith quoted me $125.00 so It's a pretty much a wash money wise and I'm in no great hurry as I have a threaded 16" barreled Savage MK II and a 10-22 with a 16" .920 Green River barreled 10-22 to get me through this squirrel season. My Smith did the .920 16" GR barrel for me and did a great job on the thread/re-crown. |

This just in from TechSights:
"We have tested our sights on the new Ruger American Rimfire rifle. We found that the sight components we use in the MXT200 (Marlin bolt action sights) sight package will fit the Ruger with one exception. The factory front sight is held on with one screw which uses a different thread pitch than our sight package. The easiest solution is to use the original Ruger front sight screw to attach our front sight to the barrel instead of the screw that comes with our MXT200 sight. Until we get specific instructions and packaging made for the Ruger sight package, and until we get the new sight package listed on our web page, the MXT200 sight package is the correct sight for use with the Ruger American Rimfire rifle. Attached is a quick image showing our sights on the rifle. Thank you for your interest in our products. Sincerely, Erik Nesseth" |

I am patiently waiting as well. I am wanting the 22mag but will settle for the 22lr in the long version or the carbine if that's all that is available.
I have a huge stock pile of 22lr bulk in a variety of flavors and some non bulk as well. I am currently working on a nice stock pile of 22mag as it becomes available. |

They have both been out. I bought the 22LR in full size and compact on the 5th and 6th of this month. Both stores where I purchased mine, and one other store I went to had both the 22LR and the 22MAG models in stock. But none of them had one of all four models at the same time. I would have bought one at the first place, but their credit card machine was down, and I didn't have cash or checks with me.
The one I am waiting for is the 17HMR. I think I might pass on the 22Mag. I have plenty of 22LR and 17HMR ammo. I have never bought any 22Mag and I certainly don't see any now. |

Odd that many "gun" folks I've talked to don't even know these rifles are stocking now or even that Ruger is making them in the first place. I think Ruger dropped the advertizing ball on this one.
A decent reasonably priced BA .22 that uses 10-22 mags is worth a bit more build-up than another damn M1911 clone. My LGS has only sold two of the four they got in (I bought one) and they have had them better than a week. They are still available from their supplier too. The lack of available .22 ammo at half-way decent prices might have something to do with it. All their new .22s are pretty much sitting on the shelves. |

If I send you mine to use as a pattern will it come back with a free stock?

I am interested to know what they will come down to once dealers let them cool off price wise. My regular dealer had a couple for $269 and he normally sells his stuff at about an 11% markup. At $269, I think that is more like a 30% markup, if not more. |

I handled a .22Mag at Kittery Trading Post the other day. The clerk said they had half a dozen .22RF units in for some time, and they all went out the door in a couple of days.

Most of the suppliers are showing $215.00 to $219.00 for them. All are being shown as allocated so they are getting them in and only the big buyers are getting first choice. I'm a small time dealer so I'll be one of the last to get called.

I bought one of the compacts today and stopped by ADCO's to drop off the barreled action. They're going to check it out and see if it's possible to chop the barrel to 16", thread it, make a proper sized thread protector, and remount the front sight. If it works out I should have pics next week.

Yes, just need a good optic/sling/bipod. I had it out very briefly today while on a break at a club shoot. Just enough time to run 1 mag thru it suppressed. The only target I had was a steel plate @ 50 yards. Sights where just as they came out of the box. Click/ping, click/ping, click/ping, 10 times. I think it'll be a keeper.

Guys,
The reason you have never seen a bolt action .22lr that uses 10/22 barrels is because of the need for a cartridge guide (left-side extractor) on the left side of the bolt face. Almost every bolt action repeater has one. It's needed to help pull the case out of the chamber (consistently) and control it until it gets hit by the ejector. 10/22 barrels only have one extractor slot cut at the breech. I have seen single shots with only one extractor hook, but never a repeater. |
|
Are these barrels threaded and pinned to the receiver or just press fit and pinned? Mine looks like it has threads but everything I read said it was just pinned.

The bolt needs breaking in, out of the box it's very tight where the back of the bolt handle locks down into the receiver. When the actions open it's not loose like my FV-SR was, when I had that bolt all the way back it was sloppy and wiggled around, the Ruger doesn't do that. It's smooth with a very short throw, like most 22LR bolt guns I suppose.
