Frequently Asked Questions
How does the .17 HMR perform compared to .22 LR for long-range shooting?
The .17 HMR offers a significant ballistic advantage over .22 LR, with a flatter trajectory and higher velocity — typically around 2,550 fps. This makes it far more effective at distances of 100–200 yards, where .22 LR begins to drop significantly. It is particularly well-suited for varmint hunting and precision rimfire competitions where wind drift and drop matter.
Can I mount a scope on the Ruger Precision Rimfire?
Yes. The Ruger Precision Rimfire features a Picatinny rail on the receiver, making it fully compatible with a wide range of riflescopes, red dots, and night vision optics using standard 1913 Picatinny rings. For best results at .17 HMR distances, a variable magnification scope in the 4–16x range is commonly recommended.
Is the Ruger Precision Rimfire compatible with other magazines?
The Ruger Precision Rimfire .17 HMR ships with a 9-round rotary magazine and is also compatible with BX-series Ruger rimfire magazines chambered in .17 HMR, allowing for quick swaps during competition or extended range sessions. Always confirm magazine compatibility with your specific caliber before use.
