The Ruger American Rimfire® Model 8301 is a full-size .22 Long Rifle bolt-action rifle built for precision target shooting, small-game hunting, and recreational plinking. Featuring a 22-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, 10-round BX-1® rotary magazine, Williams™ fiber optic sights, interchangeable stock modules, and the Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger, the 8301 delivers outstanding accuracy and dependable performance in a lightweight sporting rifle.
Built on Ruger's proven American Rimfire platform, Model 8301 incorporates the Power Bedding® integral bedding block system, which positively locates the receiver while free-floating the barrel to improve consistency and accuracy. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger provides a crisp, user-adjustable trigger pull, allowing shooters to fine-tune the rifle to their preferences without sacrificing reliability.
The rifle features a 22-inch cold hammer-forged alloy steel barrel chambered in .22 Long Rifle. The barrel utilizes a 1:16" right-hand twist optimized for .22 LR ammunition and features a traditional non-threaded target crown, making it an excellent choice for shooters seeking maximum accuracy in a classic sporting configuration.
Model 8301 is equipped with a durable black synthetic stock featuring Ruger's modular stock system. Two interchangeable comb modules are included—a low comb for iron sights and a raised comb for optics—allowing shooters to quickly configure the rifle for their preferred setup. The standard stock provides a comfortable 13.75-inch length of pull suitable for most adult shooters.
The rifle comes equipped with Williams™ fiber optic sights, including a bright fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight for excellent visibility in varying lighting conditions. The receiver incorporates a 3/8-inch rimfire scope base and is drilled and tapped for Weaver® #12 bases, providing multiple options for mounting optics.
The rifle feeds from Ruger's dependable BX-1® 10-round rotary magazine, which is compatible with Ruger 10/22® magazines. Additional features include a 70-degree bolt throw, tang-mounted manual safety, oversized bolt handle, sling swivel studs, and a lightweight 6.0-pound overall weight, making it an excellent field or range companion.
Combining a 22-inch precision barrel, adjustable trigger, modular stock system, and Ruger's proven bolt-action design, the Ruger American Rimfire Model 8301 is an excellent choice for hunters, target shooters, and anyone seeking a highly accurate .22 LR rifle.
