Ruger American Bolt Action Rifle .17 HMR 18" Barrel (1)-9Rd Magazine Yote Camoflauge Stock Bronze Cerakote Finish
The 100% American-made Ruger American Rimfire® bolt-action rifle builds on the enormous success of the centerfire Ruger American Rifle®. With many of the standard Ruger American Rifle® features, this new line also combines several design innovations from the popular 10/22® rimfire rifle. This combination, along with the rifle's adaptability, appeals to bolt-action enthusiasts - whether young or old, novice or experienced.
Coated in a hydrographic film, the Yote Camoflauge pattern is uniquely designed to conceal your firearm while in open fields or timber filled woods.
Yote is a collaboration between Predator Quest’s Les Johnson and Thunder Mountain Camo’s Jessica Oster. The pattern was developed using exclusive imagery of Les Johnson’s coyote hides and developed into a photo-realistic coyote fur hydrographic film. Yote consists of short underfur with long coarse guard hairs that are evenly distributed throughout the design.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
Introduced by Hornady in 2002, the 17 HMR has become extremely popular and is the standard alternative to 22 rimfires for small game and small varmints. Most manufacturers who produce rimfire rifles chamber to it, and all major ammunition manufactures load ammo. The 17 HMR was created by necking down the 22 WMR cartridge, resulting in a lighter but much faster load. Most common are a 17-grain bullet at up to 2550 feet per second; and a 20-grain load at 2375. No 17-caliber bullet bucks wind particularly well, but the 20-grain bullet, though slower, holds up a bit better and tends to offer better penetration. Perhaps the greatest attribute of the 17 HMR is accuracy that is consistently good and often exceptional, effective to as far as 150 yards under calm conditions. As a hunting cartridge it should be limited to animals smaller than coyotes. — Craig Boddington
