Description
You’re at the range, watching a buddy struggle with a finicky bolt-action .22. He’s chasing groups, fighting the stock, and burning through expensive centerfire ammo just to learn fundamentals. There’s a better way to build precision skills—or to introduce a new shooter to the discipline—without the cost and complexity. That’s where a purpose-built platform like the Ruger Precision Rimfire 22LR, 18″ Threaded Barrel, M-LOK Handguard, Quick-Fit Precision Adjustable Stock, 15rd Mag comes in. It’s a rifle designed from the ground up to translate the ergonomics and adjustability of a modern precision rifle to the affordable .22 Long Rifle world.
The Ruger Precision Rimfire is a modular, chassis-based .22 LR rifle built for training and precision shooting. It features an 18-inch threaded barrel, an M-LOK forend for accessories, a fully adjustable stock for custom fit, and ships with a 15-round magazine. At $469.99, it delivers centerfire rifle ergonomics at rimfire cost, making it an ideal trainer or small-game rifle.
When it comes to building muscle memory for positional shooting or long-range discipline, consistency is everything. The Ruger Precision Rimfire provides that. Its chassis system and fully adjustable Quick-Fit stock let you dial in length of pull and comb height to match your primary rifle—or to fit a smaller shooter perfectly. That means the same cheek weld, the same reach, the same trigger finger placement. You’re not adapting to the gun; it adapts to you. The 18-inch cold hammer-forged barrel provides a solid balance for off-hand shooting and is pre-threaded (½”-28) for a suppressor or muzzle device. Mounting optics is straightforward on the integrated 30 MOA Picatinny rail, which gives you plenty of elevation adjustment for stretching .22 LR out to its effective limits.
The M-LOK handguard isn’t just for looks. It’s a functional platform for adding a bipod, a sling mount, or a small flashlight for those dusk varmint patrols. The rifle uses Ruger’s proven 10/22 rotary magazine system, meaning it’s compatible with a vast aftermarket of high-capacity magazines and loaders. The included 15-round mag is a great start. The controls are intuitive, and the entire system is drop-in ready—no gunsmithing required to start shooting. Just add an optic, some affordable ammunition, and head to the range. The total weight of around 6.8 lbs unloaded gives it a substantial, stable feel without being burdensome for all-day carry.

Pros: Exceptional value for a feature-rich chassis system. Unmatched adjustability for a rimfire rifle. Uses ubiquitous and reliable Ruger 10/22 magazines. Threaded barrel is ready for a suppressor right out of the box. M-LOK offers serious accessory flexibility. Perfect ergonomic trainer for larger-caliber precision rifles.
Cons: Heavier than a traditional sporter .22. The chassis aesthetic may not appeal to hunters wanting a classic wood stock. You’ll need to budget for a quality optic to fully utilize its potential.
So who is this rifle for? Look, it’s for the shooter who takes skill development seriously but has a practical budget. It’s for the father teaching his kids, where stock adjustability means a perfect fit as they grow. It’s for the varminter who wants a stable, quiet (with a suppressor), and capable platform. It’s for the competitor looking for a rimfire division rifle that handles like their centerfire rig. And it’s for any Missouri shooter who understands that more trigger time with good habits is the fastest path to improvement—this rifle facilitates that. This model is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with an FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of optics rail does it have?
A: It comes with a 0 MOA Picatinny rail installed, but Ruger includes a 30 MOA cantilever rail in the box. Swapping them is a simple screwdriver operation, and the 30 MOA rail is essential for long-range .22 shooting as it gives your scope more usable elevation adjustment.
Q: Are aftermarket 10/22 triggers compatible?
A: Yes. The fire control group is compatible with many aftermarket 10/22 trigger packs, like those from Timney or Volquartsen, allowing for a significant upgrade in trigger feel without modification to the chassis.
Q: Can the stock be swapped for an AR-style buffer tube?
A: Absolutely. The rear of the chassis accepts a mil-spec AR-15 buffer tube, so you can install any AR-style stock you prefer, offering even more customization to match your primary rifle’s setup.
