Introducing the 17 HMR model of the Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle, along with the new BX-15 Magnum magazine. Faster, flatter and with high-performing bullets, .17 HMR cartridges expand the capabilities of the Ruger Precision Rimfire platform. Like its .22 LR predecessor, this new magnum offering maintains the same ergonomics, trigger and manual of arms as the larger centerfire Ruger Precision Rifle.
The Ruger Precision Rimfire's molded, one-piece chassis and adjustable buttstock assembly are manufactured from strong glass-filled nylon, offering a solid foundation for accuracy. The innovative Quick-Fit Precision Rimfire stock allows the rifle's length of pull and comb height to be quickly and easily adjusted for proper fit over a wide range of shooter sizes, outerwear and shooting positions.
The 18" cold hammer-forged target barrel features ultra-precise rifling for excellent accuracy and a 1/2"-28 muzzle thread pattern for easy pairing with muzzle devices, including the Ruger® Silent-SR®. The 15" free-float handguard with Magpul® M-LOK® slots provides generous scope clearance and easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible rails and accessories. Additionally, Big-Gun bolt throw adjustment technology allows shooters to experience the long bolt throw of a centerfire cartridge, like 6.5 Creedmoor, improving the Ruger Precision Rimfire's capabilities as a training rifle.
The popular Ruger Marksman Adjustable™ trigger can be externally adjusted from 2.25 to 5 pounds with the adjusting wrench that is conveniently stored in a buttstock compartment on the rifle. Ruger's own AR-pattern pistol grip and safety selector allow for maximum control and access to the 45 degree, reversible safety selector. The rifle is topped with a 0 MOA Picatinny scope base and ships with one, 15-round BX-15 Magnum magazine.
Have both this and the 22lr rprr and they are both very fun to shoot, but the speed of the 17 hmr just makes it much more accurate at the futher distances and just that much more fun to shoot. Paired it with a Vortex Diamondback tactical 4-12x40 scope and it's like shooting a laser.
Yes the ammo is more, but if I had to choose between the 17 hmr or 22lr I would definitely choose the 17 hmr, especially for the price I picked it up for. Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore shipped my rifle and ammo very fast also, will definitely buy from them again.
