Ruger American Rimfire .22 WMR 22″ Stainless Walnut TALO

The Ruger American Rimfire .22 WMR 22″ Stainless Walnut TALO is a bolt-action rifle built for shooters who demand rimfire precision without the cheap plastic feel. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum, this TALO-exclusive pairs a satin stainless 22″ barrel with a checkered walnut stock—traditional looks, modern accuracy. It ships with a flush-mounted rotary magazine and Ruger’s Marksman Adjustable trigger. If you’ve been waiting for a production rimfire that balances wood aesthetics with sub-MOA potential, this is it.

Key Features

• Marksman Adjustable Trigger – User-selectable pull weight from 3 to 5 lbs. Why it matters: You dial in the exact break point for your load and range conditions, eliminating creep and over-travel that throw your point of impact at 100 yards.
• Power Bedding Integral Block – A precision-machined aluminum bedding block locks the action into the stock. Why it matters: Consistent bedding means your receiver doesn’t shift under recoil or temperature changes—critical for holding a 0.75 MOA group with quality .22 WMR ammunition.
• Free-Floating Barrel – The 22″ satin stainless barrel contacts nothing but the receiver and barrel nut. Why it matters: No pressure points from the stock means the barrel’s harmonic whip is consistent shot to shot, reducing vertical stringing on a 50-yard target.
• Flush-Mounted Rotary Magazine – Detachable, 9-round capacity, and sits flush with the stock. Why it matters: No protruding magazine snagging on brush or gear, and the rotary design feeds .22 WMR reliably without rim-lock.
• Checkered Walnut Stock – Traditional cut checkering at grip and fore-end. Why it matters: Provides a secure hold in wet or cold conditions, so your grip torque stays consistent—no slipping when you’re holding for a 200-yard shot.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the precision rimfire shooter who wants to stretch a .22 WMR past 100 yards without upgrading to a custom action. It’s also for the small-game hunter who appreciates a walnut stock that won’t crack in a pickup truck rack. If you’re the type who chronographs your ammo and measures groups in MOA, the Ruger American Rimfire TALO gives you a production platform that responds to handloads and match-grade factory ammo.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-1 MOA accuracy at 50 yards with quality .22 WMR—verified by multiple third-party tests.
• Pro: Trigger adjustment tool included; no need to buy a $200 aftermarket trigger.
• Pro: Rotary magazine eliminates rim-lock failure common with .22 WMR stick mags.
• Con: The factory stock lacks an adjustable cheek riser—tall scope mounts or a cheek pad upgrade may be needed for high-magnification optics.
