[QUOTE="Pokem807, post: 2285219, member: 7378"] Picked up a RAR in 22lr yesterday, and figured I'd let ya'll know what I thought about it. There are a few reviews out there already that detail all the special features, so this is just a short and subjective review. I don't own any other rimfire bolt guns, so I can't do much in the way of comparison. I've only put about 120 rounds downrange, but so far I love this little gun. This morning I installed a Weaver 1-3x20 using some cheap Weaver tip-off rings and took 5 shots to get it zeroed. I shot several 10 shot groups using both Mini-Mag and Centurion 40gr, and was very impressed. Surprisingly, the Centurion seemed to group a little more consistently, and at 20 yards I could cover 10 shots with a dime. Out of the box, the bolt felt a little tight, and chambering a round took a little more force than I anticipated. By the time I finished up, it had smoothed out considerably. The trigger broke at 4.5# originally, and it took me 2 minutes to adjust it down to about 3.25#. Since the tip-off rings set so low, I thought the straight stock would be okay, but it turns out that the high comb made a big difference. Ruger really did good on that one. Fit and finish is good, and the rifle just feels solid although it's not heavy. While flipping through the manual, I did notice two interesting things. There's a section covering how to care for stainless steel as well as mention of .17HMR, which leads me to believe these will both be options in the future. Like I said before, I love this gun! For $250, and the ability to use 10/22 mags, I don't think you can beat it. I'm already planning on getting the .22mag version, but may hold out and see if Ruger releases a .17HMR. [/QUOTE]
