Detailed Features 

The Ruger Marksman Adjustable Trigger adjusts between 3 and 5 lbs of pull weight. The Power Bedding integral bedding block holds the action firmly in the stock and free-floats the barrel, which contributes to consistent accuracy. The cold hammer-forged barrel maintains its accuracy over extended round counts. The threaded muzzle at the standard pitch supports common suppressors and muzzle devices. The synthetic stock handles weather and rough field conditions without warping. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Target practice and marksmanship development where the adjustable trigger and accurate platform reward consistent technique. 
• Small game hunting for rabbits, squirrels, and varmints where .22 LR is well-matched. 
• Suppressed shooting where the threaded muzzle eliminates additional work.

The Ruger American Precision .22 LR (18-inch, blued/black) draws consistently favorable feedback across user discussions.

Accuracy is the most consistent positive. Owners report tight groupings at typical rimfire distances, with the bolt action and trigger combination cited as contributing factors. Build quality is well-regarded, and the blued/black finish is described as durable and attractive. The price-to-performance ratio comes up frequently, with most owners considering it a strong value. Ergonomics are broadly described as comfortable, with the adjustable trigger being a notable differentiator from budget competitors. The synthetic stock is appreciated for being weather-resistant without feeling cheap.

Minor complaints include occasional feeding inconsistencies with certain ammunition brands. A few users note the rifle could be lighter for extended carry, though 5.5 lbs is not unusual for this format. The community generally recommends it as a reliable .22 LR bolt gun for both beginners and experienced rimfire shooters.
