Frequently Asked Questions
Can the stock modules be swapped to fit a full-sized adult shooter?
Yes. All Ruger American Rimfire stock modules are fully interchangeable across the entire American Rimfire lineup. The compact model ships with short length-of-pull modules, but long length-of-pull modules (found on standard models) can be purchased separately and swapped in seconds by simply removing the rear sling swivel stud — no tools required.
What magazines are compatible with this rifle?
The Ruger American Rimfire Compact uses Ruger's proprietary rotary magazine, which is the same style used across the American Rimfire series. The included 10-round flush-fit magazine keeps the profile clean, and extended 15-round magazines are also available from Ruger for added capacity during range sessions.
Is this rifle ready for a scope, and does it include any mounting options?
Yes, the Ruger American Rimfire Compact features an integrated Picatinny-style rail on the receiver, making it straightforward to mount most standard rimfire scope rings and optics. The interchangeable stock comb modules also allow you to raise the comb height to achieve a proper cheek weld when using a scoped setup, ensuring comfortable and accurate shooting.
