The Ruger Precision Rimfire .22 WMR 18″ Threaded 15rd Black is a purpose-built rimfire precision rifle that brings real accuracy to the .22 Magnum cartridge. It combines a target-grade cold hammer-forged barrel with a fully adjustable Quick-Fit Precision Rimfire chassis, giving you the same feel as a full-size precision rifle in a compact, affordable package. This model ships with a 15-round BX-15 magazine and a black finish that’s ready for the range or the field.

Key Features
- Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel — This 18-inch barrel is hammer-forged from premium steel, which means it’s denser, more consistent, and holds accuracy longer than button-rifled barrels. You’ll see tighter groups shot after shot.
- Quick-Fit Precision Rimfire Chassis — The molded polymer chassis lets you adjust length of pull and comb height without tools. That means you can dial in your fit for a rock-solid cheek weld, just like on a centerfire precision rifle.
- 15-Round Detachable BX-15 Magazine — This rimfire comes with a 15-round mag that feeds .22 WMR reliably. It’s easy to load and swap, so you spend more time shooting and less time fiddling.
- 30 MOA Picatinny Scope Base — The integrated anodized rail gives you 30 MOA of elevation built right in. That’s a big deal for long-range rimfire shooting — it lets you dial out to 200+ yards without maxing out your turrets.
- Free-Float M-LOK Handguard — The 15-inch free-float handguard keeps barrel harmonics clean and gives you Magpul M-LOK slots for mounting bipods, lights, or rails. No barrel contact means no accuracy-robbing pressure.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who wants to practice precision rifle skills without the cost of centerfire ammo. It’s perfect for new gun owners looking to learn fundamentals on a forgiving platform, families wanting a fun plinker that’s accurate out of the box, and local shooters who compete in rimfire PRS or NRL22 matches. If you’re a varmint hunter who needs a light, handy .22 WMR that hits hard at 100 yards, this is your rifle.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Adjustable chassis fits most shooters; threaded barrel (1/2×28) for suppressors or brakes; 30 MOA rail saves you money on aftermarket bases; BX-15 mags are widely available and reliable; Ruger’s warranty and customer service are solid.
- Cons: The factory trigger is good but not match-grade — you’ll feel a bit of creep compared to a Timney aftermarket drop-in. Also, the .22 WMR version has slightly more recoil than .22 LR, so new shooters may flinch a little more.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Ruger Precision Rimfire .22 WMR?
Per Ruger specs, the barrel has a 1:16″ twist rate, optimized for standard 40-grain .22 WMR ammunition. It stabilizes hunting and target loads well.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard rimfire suppressor thread pitch. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for .22 WMR pressures.
Does this rifle come with scope rings or a scope?
No, it ships with only the integrated Picatinny rail. You’ll need to buy scope rings and a scope separately. The 30 MOA rail is built in, so you’re all set for elevation.
Is the chassis compatible with aftermarket AR grips?
Yes. The Quick-Fit chassis uses a standard AR-15 grip interface, so you can swap in your favorite grip from Magpul, Hogue, or others.
