Special Features
- The Power Bedding integral bedding block positively locates the receiver and free-floats the entire barrel, establishing a consistent, repeatable accuracy foundation that rivals custom bedding jobs without any aftermarket work
- The 1/2"-28 threaded muzzle accepts standard rimfire and centerfire suppressors, making this rifle directly compatible with the most widely available suppressor thread pattern on the market for quiet varmint control and range work
- Two interchangeable stock comb modules ship with the rifle, one flat comb for iron sight use and one raised comb for use with a mounted optic, allowing the shooter to dial in cheek weld to match their preferred sight system in seconds
- The factory one-piece aluminum scope rail spans the full receiver and provides a stable, repeatable base for any scope ring system without requiring a separate mount purchase
- The Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger is user-adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds without tools, letting the shooter set pull weight to match their preferred feel for field use or bench work
- The 60-degree bolt throw provides generous scope clearance for large-objective optics and keeps the bolt handle out of the way during fast cycling, a practical benefit when using a magnified scope in a hunting scenario
- The receiver-mounted bolt release allows the bolt to be removed without pulling the trigger, an uncommon safety feature in the rimfire bolt-action category that adds a meaningful layer of safe handling during field cleaning and transport
- The JMX-1 rotary magazine uses an internal rotor to separate individual 22 WMR cartridges and feeds them smoothly into the chamber, and the rifle also accepts the extended BX-15 Magnum magazine for higher-capacity range sessions
Practical Benefits
- The 22 WMR cartridge delivers flat trajectories and consistent terminal performance on small predators, groundhogs, and varmints at distances where 22 LR runs out of effective energy, making this platform a capable tool for open-field pest control and hunting
- The matte and satin stainless finish across the barrel and receiver resists corrosion and surface oxidation in wet fields, rainy conditions, and high-humidity environments without the maintenance demands of a blued rifle
- The 5.3-pound weight and 37-inch overall length keep this rifle easy to carry and shoulder quickly in the field without the fatigue that heavier varmint platforms can cause on long days
- The adjustable comb means you can move between a red dot and a high-powered scope without changing your head position or purchasing a different stock
- Whether you are hunting fox and coyote in open terrain, running a suppressed rimfire setup for quiet predator work, or building a precision 22 Magnum platform for year-round range and field use, your Ruger American Rimfire gives you stainless durability, threaded versatility, and factory accuracy in one straightforward bolt-action package
The Ruger American Rimfire Standard (8352) in 22 WMR is a reliable pick for varmint hunters and precision rimfire shooters who need a suppressor-ready, optics-optimized bolt gun built to handle hard field use in any weather.
