  • Ruger American Rimfire 22 WMR 18" OD Green
    CRM Gun Sports - 293 Draper Street ( P.O.Box 7906 ), Phone: (07) 4031 4440 - Email: [email protected] Cairns , QLD, 4870 Ruger American Rimfire 22 WMR 18" OD Green Brand: Ruger Availability: Out Of Stock Price: $0.00 Description RUGER AMERICAN RIMFIRE 22WMR 18" OD GREEN The 100% American-made Ruger American Rimfire bolt-action rifle builds on the enormous success of the centerfire Ruger American Rifle. With many of the standard Ruger American Rifle features, this new line also combines several design innovations from the popular 10/22 rimfire rifle. This combination, along with the rifle's adaptability, appeals to bolt-action enthusiasts - whether young or old, novice or experienced. Features: Ruger American Rimfire rifles have interchangeable stock modules that provide comb height options for scope or iron sight use. Standard models come with long length of pull modules, while compact models come with short length of pull modules. By simply removing the rear sling swivel stud, stock modules can be changed in seconds. All four stock modules are completely interchangeable across all models and are available separately. Uses the detachable, flush-mounted JMX-1 9-round rotary magazine. Easy-to-use 10/22-style extended magazine release provides smooth, no-fuss magazine removal.
