Ruger American Rimfire Compact | .22 LR | 18″ | 10rd | 8303

The Ruger American Rimfire Compact is a bolt-action .22 LR rimfire designed for lightweight handling and versatile rimfire use. It pairs an 18″ cold hammer-forged barrel with a black synthetic stock that includes interchangeable comb modules for different sighting setups. For an optic, a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40 (priced well under $1,000) is a practical choice that provides the magnification and objective size suited to this platform for both scoped target work and small-game field use. Typical applications include small-game hunting and precision rimfire training at the range.
