NEW — .17 HMR and .22 WMR Ruger Precision Rimfire Rifles
The popular Ruger Precision Rimfire rifle is now available in two additional rimfire chamberings: .17 HMR and .22 WMR. This makes the rig more suitable for use in varminting. Both cartridge types, .17 HMR and .22 WMR, also offer higher velocities, less wind drift, and flatter trajectory than the .22 LR. This is a benefit when cross-training. You can shoot at more distant targets with considerably less elevation dialed in your scope. And the windage corrections will be less extreme. We really like the .17 HMR — it’s our favorite rimfire cartridge for small varmints out to 160 yards.
Ruger says: “Faster, flatter and with high-performing bullets, .17 HMR and .22 WMR cartridges expand the capabilities of the Ruger Precision Rimfire platform. Like its .22 LR predecessor, these new magnum offerings maintain the same ergonomics, trigger and manual of arms as the larger centerfire Ruger Precision Rifle.”
Both Ruger Precision Rimfire rifles feature 18″ hammer-forged barrels threaded for muzzle devices, including the Ruger® Silent-SR®. The 15″ free-float handguard with Magpul M-LOK slots provides generous scope clearance and easy mounting of M-LOK-compatible rails and accessories. Like
Like its .22 LR version, the magnum Ruger Precision Rimfire models featured an adjustable bolt throw (that can emulate a centerfire action if desired), along with trigger that adjusts from 2.25 to 5 pounds. The .17 HMR and .22 WMR models ship with a 0 MOA Picatinny rail and one, 15-round BX-15 Magnum magazine or one, 9-round JMX-1 rotary magazine. The BX-15 Magnum is a natural pairing for the new Ruger Precision Rimfire in magnum calibers. It is also compatible with Ruger 77/17®, Ruger 77/22® and Ruger American® Rimfire rifles chambered in .17 HMR and .22 WMR.

Still not available for lefties.
Why has Ruger, a company that has historically had lefty models available, forgotten about left haded/eyed shooters?
17 WSM can rip up to 3,000 FPS. FORGET17HMR. An awsome round.
I just bought the .22 mag & 17 HMR Ruger Precision rifle I also have the ruger 308 precision I hope these rim fire precision’s shoot as good.
What ammo does thr ruger precision 22 wmr prefer?
Just zeroed my RPR 22 WMR. Maxi-mags made 1.25″ at 50 yds., Critical Defence 45 grain punched .625″ and Federal 50 grain grouped at .500″ and I’m not the as steady as I used to be. Shot at 6 power magnification off a single sand bag, 40 degF with 1 o’clock breeze. So now I have two magnums that prefer the federal 50 grain, the first being a Marlin 25MN.
I have the Ruger Percision in 22lr.
Can I get a 22wmr or 17hmr barrel and swap it out with my 22lr barrel??
So that way I won’t have to buy another rifle, just the barrel
