Magnum Research Rimfire Rifles

[jeepster09]

I also just looked at one of those rifles in 22 magnum caliber.....very immpressive and light. However for the price I am leaning towards the Savage 22 magnum that already comes with good trigger and nice laminate stock with thumb hole, Model: 93 BTVS, for considerably less money.

Yeah the .22WMR versions sell for a little more. I'm not sure I'd buy it in anything but .22LR but for the price I paid for this rifle new I couldn't pass it up. Even with the Ruger OEM trigger these rifles are very accurate, plenty accurate for hunting. I didn't change the trigger until about 1000 rounds and I never had any complaints. I just wanted to see what the rifle could really do.

Lots of people do their own work on the Ruger triggers with success and there are drop-in kits available for $75 or less that use the original trigger housing and supposedly work very well.

Well I buckled under and bought one at a great price. What trigger did you change to? I am thinking the Kid single stage trigger.

I ended up keeping a Volquartsen group on the rifle. The KID single stage had lots of stovepipes with my rifle but that was before replacing the Ruger OEM extractor with a Volquartsen one. Try the KID. If it does work they will refund your money. My Hogue stock also had to be modified before the KID would even fit. Whatever you get, replace the Ruger extractor with a quality aftermarket one.

I see you got different stock with yours. I went with 3x9 Nikon Prostaff Scope.

Mine originally came with a black Hogue stock. First I replaced it with a ghillie green Hogue then I bought this laminated wood one from stockysstocks.com. I didn't do any research on the Leupold before I bought it. I got it on sale for $180 when I bought the rifle. I've been really pleased with it.

I've got a lot more details on everything here.

I would like to get one of the WMR versions. I have enough built 22 LR rifles (10/22 in particular). The WMR is pretty hard to find a used Ruger so the MRI is going to be the winner for me. Price of a used Ruger 10/22 mag is similar to the MRI so it's not much of a difference there.
