The Ruger Precision Rimfire at the 2018 SHOT Show

One of the most interesting rimfire rifles I saw at the 2018 SHOT Show was the Ruger Precision Rimfire. While this bolt-action rifle shares some components with the company’s 10/22 rifle, it is not simply a redressed 10/22. The Precision Rimfire is built on a chassis system and is designed to work as an understudy training rifle for the centerfire Ruger Precision Rifle.

In this video, the designer of the Ruger Precision Rimfire discusses the thinking behind the gun, the engineering, and the feature set.
