The All-Weather might be considered as Ruger’s grade 1 rimfire rifle, as it comes in a laminate stock with a heavier, 24” barrel in a Target Grey finish in 22 WMR. The rifle comes pre-threaded ½”x20 UNF and as ever is supplied with Ruger’s, standard, 1”, low scope rings. At 24” with a moddy up front, the 22 Mag has an overall length of 43 ¼” and a weight of 7 ½ lbs (unscoped).Condition: NewStyle: Bolt ActionGuage/Calibre: .22Wmr

The build offers a 3-position safety – forward FIRE, middle SAFE with bolt operation, rear SAFE bolt locked. The receiver is level on top, unlike the stepped build of the centrefire M77s and offers three scope mounting points as opposed to two. This I have found useful on some occasions for optics with shorter or longer than normal body tubes or eye relief issues.Feed on the 22 Mag is 9-rounds and uses the same magazine as the 17HMR version. The release is by a flat catch at the rear of the well. Also useful is the fact the magazine can be disassembled for cleaning and maintenance.Though it may not matter to some users; the M77 rimfire series offers a big gun feel, with none of the cramped and basic build some other makes do.
