Frequently Asked Questions
What makes .17 HMR a good choice for this rifle?
The .17 HMR (Hornady Magnum Rimfire) cartridge offers a flat trajectory, high velocity (typically 2,500–2,650 fps from a 22-inch barrel), and excellent accuracy at ranges out to 150 yards. It is particularly well-suited for varmint hunting — prairie dogs, squirrels, and similar small game — where the combination of speed and minimal recoil makes follow-up shots fast and effective. The Ruger American Rimfire's 22-inch barrel maximizes the cartridge's ballistic potential.
Can I use other magazines with the Ruger American Rimfire .17 HMR?
The Ruger American Rimfire uses a proprietary rotary magazine specifically designed for the .17 HMR chambering. It is not compatible with 10/22® magazines, as the rimfire cartridge dimensions differ. Ruger does offer additional magazines separately, and the rifle's 10/22®-style extended magazine release makes swapping them quick and intuitive in the field.
How do I adjust the stock modules for a better fit?
Switching stock modules on the Ruger American Rimfire takes only seconds. Simply remove the rear sling swivel stud, and the comb module detaches cleanly. You can then install the alternate comb height module — one optimized for scoped use, the other for iron sights — without any tools. All four modules across the American Rimfire lineup are fully interchangeable, making it easy to customize the fit for different shooters or shooting styles.
