Ruger American Rimfire Compact 8339 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Worst Ruger I Have

I Just bought this in 22 Mag. and it will not extract fired rounds. As a teenager the first rifle I ever bought was a Ruger M77 and it is still fine after over 40 years. What good is a bolt action rifle if the bolt does not work? I wish they would refund

Good Shooter

The gun shoots 3/4" 10-shot groups with CCI 36 grain Mini Mag from 60 yards without trying too hard. This is with a scope of course. If I got really serious, I'm confident it will shoot 1/2" or less groups. What I don't like is that the rear sig

A little more quality control, please!

Bought the rifle version in plastic stock and it took months to come in. Rough winter in MI, but finally got out to range a few weeks ago.

Ruger is the worst

This is the second Ruger gun I have sent back .in the last year in my opinion that is a lot. The clip was so sloppy the amo would know feed and when I got it back I still have the same problem . I think they are making the guns so cheap there know making

Good Beginner Shooter

I took it to the range and had it sighted in within a few minutes. I bought this for instructing with. I think it will work just fine. The magazine does have the problem as others have mentioned but can be avoided it inserted properly. Just push forward o

Nice rifle, defective magazine

This rifle is great. The magazine shipped with it is defective and misfeeds continually. An older 10/22 mag works perfectly.

A good rifle at a great price

I now have a 22LR and 17HMR versions of the American Rimfire rifle. Both rifles have a scope mounted to them. They are very accurate and will accept a broad range of ammo. Both of my rifles are compact models. I went with compact models because they are a

Fun to shoot

Purchased the rifle yesterday at the Delaware store. The purchase process was much quicker than the 6 hour process at the Pennsylvania store last month. I shot 100 rounds through with 1 misfire today. Bolt operated smoothly. I really like the trigger, fee

Good little rifle.

Fit and finish are better than the cheaper 22's. Rifle shoots great, and the modular stock allows my petite girlfriend to see the sights with a proper cheekweld with the high comb installed. It would be 5 stars if the fore end of the stock wasn't so flims

Too bad it won't extract spent rounds

First off I want to say that this is a tac driver of a gun BUT it is not a "go to gun" because 5-7 rounds out of 10 will have to be forced out manually once shot because they will not extract. I have scrubbed this pig and polished what I can wit

stoneisland

I bought a 22mag in January and put a 2-7 Nikon scope on it. At first for about 100 rounds it worked and shot fine. Then I started to have misfires, first with Winchester and then with CCI ammo.I had some that I ejected and re-tried three times and they s

Great Shooting Gun

I bought this gun in 22 mag from my local Cabela's. Customer service was excellent and the purchase process was seamless. After a quick inspection and wipe down I ran a couple of magazines through the gun using open sights. The front fiber optic sight is

Ruger American .17hmr

I purchased this rifle at my local Cabela's after doing a lot of research and reading the other reviews. First of all I see others saying they were having problems with the magazine but so far mine has worked flawlessly. The only issue that I had was at f

mag release problem is not a problem

Everyone seems to agree that this rifle is very accurate. It is. Most negative comments concern the mag release. That problem can be easily overcome when the mag is inserted by simply pulling the fully inserted mag back toward the trigger guard with a fin

Very accurate....BUT

CONS-The magazine release is like greased lighting and the clip is very easy to lose in field conditions. The bolt pops open at will while carrying and that is very annoying. The fiber optic sight lasted one week until it was bumped.PROS- The gun is very

This rifle is GREAT!

Absolutely a consistent shooter with decent ammunition. Having owned 10/22s in the past. I opted to pick this rifle up before getting another Ruger 10/22 (the 50th Anniversary contest winner, which I have now purchased) because I wanted something to slow

Excellent rifle

The best .22 I ever shot .When I opened the box the clip was not there. I called the Barrie store where I bought it earlier that day.They send me a clip in the mail the next day!!GREAT SERVICE. Thanks .

Awesome 22 LR

This gun not only looks and feels great but shoots great as well, after finding the right ammo for it, it was shooting 1/2 inch groups at 60 yards, its not a fan of the Winchester 333 or the Remington bullets, but loves the more expensive ammo like the CC

Straight Shooten .17 HMR

I purchased this Ruger American Standard 17 HMR for varmint control on the 10 acres I live on in MN. I put a 1.5 - 5 pwr. scope on it. And shooting 17 V-max Hornady shells at 50 yds bench rested you can cover 3 shot groups with a dime easy. At 100 yds. 3

great gun great value

I recommend this ruger american to anyone looking for a solid value and a tough straight shooting out of the box gun.

Very Awesome

I got my ruger rimfire mid December toped it with a bushnell banner dusk & dawn. I am highly impressed with my .17 hmr. The first time out I got number 6 and 7 shots in the bulls eye free hand. For a rimfire I was so impressed. It shoots as good as an

Awesome

Ruger did it right. This rifle is the most accurate bolt action .22 I've ever shot. With a bipod and a scope, it can be a little on the heavy side, but man does it ever drive tacks. Since I bought the gun, I've probably put 500+ rounds through it. I've us

well done for the price.

The people at Ruger did a nice job on this rifle. It cycles the ammo perfect. Well balance when firing, also has some nice features such as the bolt release.

Worth Trice the Price

Finally a bolt action 1022! I've had a love/hate relationship with the 1022 for years. Love the magazines & hate the way they shoot. Now I have the best of both worlds.....those bomb proof mag's with a great shooting bolt action. The Marksman trigger

Okay but could do better

I'm a huge fan of Ruger bolt action rifles, this however is not one of them. The Ruger American I purchased in 22 WMR made a great range gun but left something to be desired in the field. Off the bench, it shot ragged holes at 50 yards regardless of the a

Great Little Rifle

I've been looking at .22WRF bolt action rifles off and on for a while, and hadn't found one I really liked, until I got my hands on a Ruger American Compact. I wanted a light weight, "all weather" capable, reasonably priced piece. That's exactly

VERY ACCURATE

Bought this in the 22 LR, very nice feel and balance.It has a free floated barrel, and a HI VIS front sight which should be great for open sight shooters. I put a Leupold VX-1 2-7 Rimfire scope on it since this was for my sons Christmas present. This gun

Good not great

Bought the .22 magnum model for my grandson. Zeroed it and put a Nikon Prostaff 3-9 scope on it. The rifle is extremely accurate at both 50 and 100 yds. Rounds touch at 50 yds and I get 1" shot groups at 100 yds. The only problem with the rifle is th

good bench gun

Bought the rifle on Sunday, mounted a scope and sighted it in, very accurate. Went rabbit hunting on Wed. and found out this these rifles have a worthless magazine release if you are actually hunting with them. Lost the magazine in two feet of snow somewh

Ruger All American

I have been searching for a .22 Magnum rifle for a few years now with no success. I saw this and immediately bought one. Perfect? No but darned close. Normally, Ruger has mushy, creepy triggers. This one is crisp and about 3 1/2 pounds. Accuracy at 50 yar

Great Gun

Purchased the American in .22 LR, put on scope took to range and was easy to zero, bullets touched in dime or smaller grouping at 25 yds. shot it at 50 still small group. Trigger is nice and I can ues my 10/22 magazines in it. Would not hesitate to try in

Fun Rifle

Got a 22 magnum, looked it over, no problems found, works as advertised. Shot it at 40 yards in windy, rainy weather. Holes in the target were touching. I will shoot it at 100 yards ASAP. Easy to disassemble and clean. Great trigger, magazine easy to load
