The New Ruger American Wood Stock Rifle in .22 Long Rifle
The new Ruger American Rimfire Wood Stock rifle was announced today by Ruger Arms. This rifle is the first of the American rimfires to come from the factory with a wood stock, and will only be featured in the .22 Long Rifle caliber. We are hoping that they begin to offer their other popular American Rimfire rifles with a factory wood stock option. As many readers remember, we here at Varminter Magazine gave away a Ruger American Rimfire in .17HMR during our last Predator Contest.
