It’s of the broader variety and non-laterally adjustable so I would keep it a little lower and add something slightly narrower on it to engage under my cheekbone without rolling the head, offsetting the jaw to fully personalise it. It has a firm consistency and allows you to gauge shoulder contact and direct pressure when loading the bipod.Ī toggle on the right side of the otherwise ambidextrous stock, (the toggle can be switched left side) allows quick unlatching of the adjustable cheekpiece with masses of vertical and linear adjustment – not as critical here because the bolt can be removed regardless of cheekpiece position. ![]() The pad itself is ribbed and grips the shoulder pocket well. The butt pad features spacers packing it’s length of pull to 13.5”/343mm which is easily added to. It avoids rattles and clunks, with no firing resonance.

Some are better than others but here, Ruger have paired an action I was already familiar with, the American, with a stock I rather liked last October, from the. I’m certainly a fan, and each new manufacturer’s variant has been pleasantly refreshing to test. It must not be forgotten that these lightweight rimfires still make great plinking and vermin control tools at the same time, often with far superior ergonomics to cramped sporters with short length of pull and reach to trigger, so what’s not to like? These are ideally suited to those wanting a full-sized training rifle to complement their ‘centrefire twin’ (like the Bergara B14 and Tikka T3/T1 UPR) or in their own right as a competitive rifle.
