Features:
Each Ruger American Rimfire rifle includes two interchangeable stock modules that provide comb height options for scope or iron sight use. Standard models come with long length of pull modules, while compact models come with short length of pull modules. By simply removing the rear sling swivel stud, stock modules can be changed in seconds. All four stock modules are completely interchangeable across all models. Models chambered in .22 LR feature the detachable, flush-mounted 10/22® BX-1 10-round rotary magazine. Accepts all 10/22® magazines, including the BX-25® and BX-25®x2. Models chambered in .22 Magnum use the detachable, flush-mounted JMX-1 9-round rotary magazine. Easy-to-use 10/22®-style extended magazine release provides smooth, no-fuss magazine removal. Patent-pending Power Bedding® integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for outstanding accuracy. Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger offers a crisp release with a pull weight that is user adjustable between 3 and 5 pounds. Ergonomic, lightweight black composite stock (designed for quick, easy handling) blends a classic look with modern forend contouring and grip serrations. Features a visible, accessible and easy-to-actuate tang safety. Satin blued, target-crowned, hammer-forged barrel results in ultra-precise rifling that provides exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning. A 3/8" rimfire scope base is machined into the receiver, which is also drilled and tapped for Weaver® #12 bases (not included). A 60° bolt provides ample scope clearance, while an easy-to-use, receiver-mounted bolt release allows the bolt to be readily removed without requiring a pull of the trigger, a unique safety feature among rimfire, bolt-action rifles. Also Includes: Williams fiber optic front sight and 10/22®-style adjustable, "V" slot, folding-leaf rear sight; sling swivel studs.

Clean bolt action, Sights accurate out of the box
While it didn't come with the B-76 rear sight for some reason (bought from eBay for 12 dollars), that's the only downside I've had with this rifle. Sight alignment is easy and the bolt action is as clean as I could ever hope for. I have not had one cartridge fail to this point (out of maybe 200), and it's not high end stuff I am shooting. Easily accurate out past 100 yards. From standing position, I get 1" groups at ~40 yards, and I'm not terribly experienced with shooting. You can load both the standard 10 round magazine, or the 25 round Ruger mag if you don't like reloading. However, since it's a bolt-action...a high capacity magazine seems to have limited upside. I also own the American in .308 and it's quite a different experience. The .22 has almost no recoil, not exactly the same with the .308. Both are winners, but I prefer the .22 for the American series.
