Accuracy
The accuracy of the Ruger 22LR varies depending on the Bull barrel. A standard barrel should be fine for a beginner, but it might not suit advanced shooters who measure their shot groups in a hundredth of an inch. For maximum precision, go for a match-grade barrel instead.
The firearm has a comfortable and light trigger, which influences the weapon’s accuracy. Since the trigger is short, it’s easier to avoid throwing a shot. The lightweight trigger enables you to practice repeated shooting with this rifle without worrying about accuracy.
Reliability
When the Ruger 10/22 was introduced in 1964, it was considered unreliable with different ammunition types. Revolvers and manual-action rifles were popular at the time, so the Ruger 10/22 had trouble competing in the market. However, Ruger’s research and development team has really stepped up its game since then. The design has evolved, significantly improving the 22LR’s reliability.
Ruger introduced the semi-automatic rimfire rifle, carving out a niche in the industry. To keep pace with Ruger’s flagship rifle, competitors adopted mass production techniques that lowered the quality of weapons. Meanwhile, the Ruger 22LR maintained its reputation for consistent quality, making it the natural choice for most shooters!
It can handle standard ammunition with exceptional accuracy. You can feed, eject, and extract from the magazines without any trouble, as the Ruger rifle can handle more power than average rounds. Oddball 22LR rounds are the only type of ammo that doesn’t work well with the Ruger weapon because they can’t hold power.
Affordability
The good news is that the Ruger 22LR won’t break your bank! That’s one of the many reasons to add this amazing rifle to your arsenal. With high-quality materials and an advanced operating mechanism, you might expect a Ruger to cost you a pretty penny. However, 22LR models are affordably priced below $700, which is what you’ll pay for many lesser weapons.
