Rifles fire a single projectile with precise accuracy. Ruger rifles are known for their rugged reliability, handsome style, unique design features, and represent the best value in rifles. Ruger manufactures hundreds of rifles in calibers from .17 HMR to .458 Lott, for all sporting uses including plinking, target shooting, small game and big game hunting, varmint shooting, and collecting.

No matter what your use or need, Ruger has the perfect rifle for you. Ruger manufactures full lines of autoloading, bolt action, lever action and single shot rifles.
Autoloading rifles use some of the gas or recoil from firing to automatically recock and reload. They are perfect when a few quick shots are needed.
Bolt actions work like a door bolt. They are accurate and dependable, but slow.
Lever actions operate by an underlever. They are fast but generally lower powered.
Single shots are graceful and strong but, as their name implies, they are rifles for the expert, as one shot is all that is available.

Rimfire rifles are either .17 or .22 caliber. They are relatively low-powered as their rim is crushed by the firing pin to set off the primer, necessitating a relatively soft brass case. They are economical, quick, accurate, and fun to shoot! Smallbore target shooting and small game hunting are their best uses.

Centerfire cartridges range from the .204 Ruger and go up to the most powerful magnums. They have a separate primer in the base of a strong, solid brass case and are the cartridges used for hunting larger game.
