- The Ruger American Precision Rimfire Rifle in 22 WMR gave outstanding accuracy results with Remington 40 JHP and Federal 50gr JHP out to 100 yards. I wasn't impressed with accuracy of the 22lr version of this rifle that I reviewed a few years ago but the 22mag version has certainly impressed me. It was so much fun to shoot.

Great review Ozzie as always mate. There's always room in everyone's gun safe for the .22 Magnum. Thanks for sharing!
There is something really appealing about shooting at a steel gong….great review ozzie…👍
one of the best videos on this rifle
Firstly great video Ozzie . i have the 22lr RPR i tested a range of ammo brands and found the CCI 1075 Target shot extremely well. zeroed at 50yds and took it out to 200 which had a 1/2 inch group . ive recently tested the SK long range which had 1/4" group. nice to see the 22mag review though thanks for this video
Great vid. Thanks for your time. God bless you and Australia.
Thank you for your thoughts, and the good information.
Well done Ozzie, another great revue. You have to love the Australian winters.
review..... just saying 😁
@@makeaustraliagreatagain4204 Another note Ozzie, I have a CZ 457 with every expensive option possible, doesn't shoot any better than the Ruger. For my bang for the buck, Ruger cant be beat.
My Ruger American loves the Armscor stuff, surprisingly well
Thanx again for helping me decide. Good on ya
Had one in .22LR for a couple of years, and it shoots well with CCI Std and subsonics, among others and has been faultless.
Bought this for my first rifle couple months ago, have taken it out to 50m and 100m and my grouping is no where near that, I'm glad its me and no my rifle haha
Nice shooting! I was surprised that Remington came out the winner. I've got some Norma match on order. Anxious to see what it will do. After running the full gambit of rifles and rounds (up to 50 BMG), I always come back to the .22 LR and .22 WMR as the most cost-effective way to have fun shooting. Teaching my grandson to appreciate it, too.
Thank You for a very professional review with NO B.S. and NO attemp to go Hollywood. Just the facts.
Nice review! 👍
The missus taxed my 22lr variant when I moved in with her a couple of years ago. We head out to the range as often as we can. She had zero prior experience and now shoots moa groups.
Well worth the buy. I bought mine early 2023 after going back and forth on it for nearly a year. The goal was to actually get the 6.5 Creed but considering the lame shooting ranges in my tri-county area, there'd be no point... and that rifle is way up there in price, never mind the cost of ammo.
Ruger Precision has such a satisfying trigger. There's no travel and ... as the pros say... "breaks like glass" and there's not much reason to adjust the weight of it. I stuck a muzzle brake on mine just for aesthetics. If you choose to stick anything on the end, be sure to have some crush washers or the fit may be wonky.
🇦🇺😎👍🏁good video review mate ✌️😎
I know this is a little late, but I figured I would let you know that 15 round Ruger Bx stick mags are available for the .17hmr/.22wmr. They are made by Ruger and are just like their .22lr 10/22 mags. They run very well especially compared to some aftermarket mags. I recently bought a Magnum Research magnum lite chambered in .22wmr. It's basically a clone of a Ruger 10/22 that has a better build quality than the 10/22's Ruger is currently offering. It came with a 9 round Ruger factory rotary mag and a 15 round Ruger factory bx stick mag. I ended up buying 2 extra 15 round stick mags right from my local gun shop when I bought the rifle. I live in the US, so it might be easier to find the mags here in the States, but I know I've seen them for sale online. I would imagine you could order a few magazines online as long as your local gun laws allow it. Hopefully, Ruger or someone else will produce a 25-round mag for the .17hmr/.22wmr. I would love a 25-round mag for my rifle. The 9 and 15 round mags just seem to run empty fairly fast when using my semi-auto.
Try the CCI 40 grain Gamepoints in your rifle. I would also try the CCI Maximag 40 grain bullets. I have an old Ruger stainless steel 77/22 Mag heavy varmint bolt action. It's picky about what it shoots well. It likes CCI 40 grain Gamepoint and CCI Maximag 40 grain. At 100 yards it will shoot either into just under 1''. The lightweight 30 grain bullets tend to be far less accurate out of my rifle. However, the older Remington polymer tipped 33 grain bullets would group into 1 1/2'' at 100 yards.
This 22 magnum rifle has a 0 MOA rail, it's the 22lr that has the 30moa rail :)
I’d be interested to see this against the standard Ruger American in same calibre.
Now, how will I justify buying another rimfire rifle...
Ruger does make a 15 round magazine for the 22 magnum. I finally found one of thes rifles, they are hard to find.
Can't decide my first gun Lithgow 22lr or this? I'm leaning towards the Lithgow Simply to support Australian jobs and the accuracy. Just waiting on my 28 day cooling off
22wmr will have a larger capacity of uses on different pests etc. but can’t go past a lithgow 22LR. I love mine.
Great thing to learn with. Can go through 200-300 rounds at a range and still want to keep shooting.
Why not both? I have a RPR in .22LR, absolutely love the thing but also want to grab a Lithgow LA101 in .17HMR.
Lithgow, in the US they are cre de la creme. Rugers nothing too special. Better yet do a CZ
Ruger 77 is pretty good. I have one in .22 mag and it's perfect for a pest control rifle on the farm.
Definitely go the Lithgow 101 first mate in std .22lr! Mines an absolute tack driver.
But after watching this, I’m thinking of adding the Ruger precision .22WMR too the safe. Always loved the look of the precision model.
I too, was never impressed with the accuracy, or lack of, in the .22 LR in this model. So now I just did a quick search on-line for this model in .22 WMR here in Canada,... none to be found.
No surprises here, what with the popularity of the Ruger American rimfire precision series rifles, AND the attitude of the current Liberal Government.,... 'nuff said about that I guess.
Thanks for the review Ozzie.
P.S. I just found a dealer who has one in stock, 'guess now I'll be ordering a new rifle before Saturday!
Were you happy with it? (From Ontario)
@@RS-dc7wy Actually, no, so I sold it on again.
@@regsparkes6507 Good to know, thanks. Did you find something better?
@@RS-dc7wy I bought an Anschutz 1416 .22 caliber, from an Estate sale. Perfect shooter! Not too likely to sell this one! ( never say never though :)
And a Henry lever 22 WMR with 20" octagonal barrel,.. shoots better ( for me ) than the Ruger I sold.
@@regsparkes6507 Those Henry's are surprisingly accurate.
I’ve read that with the standard.22lr Ruger precisions the accuracy out the box is very average but after a good whack of rounds through it the groups tighten right up. Very slick looking .22 aswell
Great review mate. If you could only have one precision rimfire in .17HMR or .22WMR, which would you choose for real world use on bunnies between 100-200 yards?
I have the 17hmr version, awesome accurate and one of the best looking guns i have
If you had to choose between this and a Ruger American Predator in .223, which would you choose? I feel like maybe the .223 would be a bit more accurate and of course more powerful, and would open up the option for cheap blasting ammo or fine-tuned hand-loads.
If you are looking to hunt with it get the .223. if you just want a fun taget plinker, get the .22 WMR
What would you recommend between this and ruger American compact in .22 wmr?
Cool review. I’m about to buy a RPR22LR. Just curious as to the pros and cons of the 22MAG version? Is 22MAG ammo a lot more expensive? Any feedback appreciated. Cheers.
Hi mate, 22 Mag is a bit more expensive but especially for small game its a lot more useful. You're talking about the difference between 1200ftps (40gn projectile 22LR) and 2200ftps (30gn projectile 22Mag) muzzle velocities - the 22 Mag has about 2.5 times the muzzle energy.
Bulk 22LR often costs around $70/500rd or less. 22 Mag is often about $200~250/500rd, expect to pay a bit more for higher performance ammunition like Hornady VMAX for example.
If its purely a range rifle and you want to plug away without too much worry about cost a 22LR is perfect. For something that will see field use I'd be looking more toward the 22 Mag. Either would be fine for both target and field - it just comes down to the cost of the ammunition and your personal preference.
@@boingkster Thanks so much. Legend.
@THE WOKE-ING DEAD Good point. The 17 Hornet is also a really good reloading calibre as it uses very small amounts of powder yet delivers great performance and generally good accuracy due to the demanding tolerances of 17 cal rifles leading to good quality commerical examples.
Thank you guys. Wow so much knowledge between you two. I have a lot to learn. Cheers.
I'm able to get 125rds of 22wmr for $30. In the US
100rds of 22lr is 8.50. for a comparable varmint round. You can buy 525rds target for $33
Really depends what your goals are for the gun. For Planking, rabbits, squirrels,frogs, coons, ground hogs. The 22lr would be perfect. If you want to shoot foxes and coyotes as well I'd go with the 22wmr.
Can you Pls do this rifle in 17hmr
It’s a step back from a ruger 77. Now that’s a beautiful rifle. So over engineered for a rimfire.
Can we get this in NSW?
bi pod, mono pod at rear and a sling.
👍👌

Impressive accuracy indeed.
What's the ethical headshot range of foxes with 22mag.
I've not heard what they can reasonably be expected to achieve on foxes. {22mag)
Thanks for the review...
@@misterlewgee8874 I shoot foxes with my CZ457 in 22wmr out to 100-150 without bothering about headshots. Perfectly fine.
I run either 30,40 or 50grain projectiles. Generally the 40grain pills do the job well.
With the general lack of accuracy of any 22wmr, Headshots aren’t my go to.
@@mikezylstra1 thanks for informing me.
Taken foxxes 120m with same rifle
@@misterlewgee8874150yds is probably after that it's probably not ethical on a live animal. Even though it has enough power past that. I've got my precision 22wmr is ordered. My goal is to shoot coyotes in the head out to 150yds. And plan to plank out to 400yds for fun.
I just bought this RPR in 22wmr. Topped it off with a Sig Sauer 3-9x40 Buckmaster and a Leupold one piece mount.
Waiting for a break in the weather to get it sighted in.
How do you like that scope? I'm waiting on my precision 22wmr to come in. I'm considering that exact scope.
22 mag and precision don't really mix
Aussie wants to see your piles.
Shoot a LA101 22wmr and you will change your mind 🤠👍
You clearly haven't shot one. Or you can't shoot.
You probably just got a lemon in the 22 long rifle go back to Walmart and grab you another one

Hmmmm..... so a rifle for $477 US is considered a "precision" rifle?? Yeah, OK.
Well it’s US msrp is $619. But what does that have to do with being precision or not? It’s a rimfire, it’s never going to be as expensive or accurate as a centerfire precision rifle, but it is going to wring what accuracy you can get out of a rimfire pretty well.
Anyone have a fix for the safety not going off of fire? I’ve tried with all of my force and it will not switch. I also can’t disassemble it because I can’t turn it to safe.
