Magnum Research Switchbolt .22 LR Rifle | 17″ | SSAT22G

The Magnum Research MLR Switchbolt is a U.S.-manufactured semi-automatic .22 LR rifle built on a one-piece forged 6061-T6 receiver with an integral Picatinny-style rail and a hard coat anodized finish for durability. This Switchbolt model features a 17″ barrel, an ambidextrous thumbhole synthetic stock in black, and ships with one 10-round magazine. The rifle’s configuration suits precision rimfire target work and small-game hunting. A versatile optic such as the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 would be an appropriate pairing under $1,000 for this platform.
