Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Christensen Arms Ranger 22 WMR more accurate than a standard rimfire rifle?
The Ranger 22 WMR features a hand-lapped, match-chamber carbon fiber tension barrel paired with a match-grade Remington 700-style trigger — a combination that minimizes barrel harmonics and delivers a consistent, repeatable trigger break. Christensen Arms backs this up with a Sub-MOA at 50 Yards Guarantee, giving you documented confidence in the rifle's out-of-the-box precision.
Is the Ranger 22 WMR compatible with standard aftermarket magazines?
Yes. The Ranger 22 WMR is designed to accept Ruger 10/22-compatible magazines, which are widely available and affordable. The included 10-round magazine is a great starting point, and the broad compatibility means you can easily find extended or spare magazines from a variety of manufacturers.
Can I mount a suppressor or muzzle device on the Ranger 22 WMR?
The 18-inch barrel on the Ranger 22 WMR is threaded to accept muzzle devices, making it suppressor-ready for shooters who want to reduce noise and recoil. Be sure to verify that the thread pitch matches your intended muzzle device before purchasing, and ensure any suppressor ownership complies with all applicable federal and local regulations.
