The Ruger American Rimfire® Compact Model 8313 is a lightweight .17 HMR bolt-action rifle designed for younger shooters, smaller-framed shooters, and hunters looking for a compact, accurate rimfire rifle. Featuring an 18-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, 9-round rotary magazine, Williams™ fiber optic sights, interchangeable stock modules, and the Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger, the 8313 delivers exceptional accuracy and flat-shooting performance in a compact package.
Built on Ruger's proven American Rimfire platform, the rifle utilizes the company's Power Bedding® integral bedding block system, which positively locates the receiver while free-floating the barrel for enhanced accuracy and repeatable shot placement. The Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger allows shooters to customize trigger pull weight for a crisp, clean break while maintaining reliable operation.
Model 8313 features an 18-inch cold hammer-forged alloy steel barrel chambered in .17 HMR. The barrel utilizes a 1:9" right-hand twist and features a traditional non-threaded muzzle, making it ideal for hunters and recreational shooters who prefer a classic sporting rifle configuration.
The rifle is equipped with a durable black synthetic compact 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 the rifle to be configured for a variety of shooting styles. The compact stock provides a 12.50-inch length of pull, making it especially well suited for youth and smaller-statured shooters.
Model 8313 comes equipped with Williams™ fiber optic sights, including a bright green fiber optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight for excellent visibility in changing light conditions. The receiver features 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 reliable 9-round rotary magazine designed specifically for .17 HMR cartridges. Additional features include a 70-degree bolt throw, tang-mounted manual safety, oversized bolt handle, sling swivel studs, and a lightweight overall weight of just 5.3 pounds, making the rifle easy to carry during long days afield.
Combining .17 HMR performance, compact dimensions, interchangeable stock modules, adjustable trigger, and Ruger's proven bolt-action design, the Ruger American Rimfire Compact Model 8313 is an excellent choice for varmint hunting, target shooting, and introducing new shooters to precision rimfire shooting.
