The first batch of our exclusive Ruger American Rimfire's in 17HM2 just came in. I wouldn't linger....114 came in, but we'll see more in the near future.

https://whittakercountry.com/product/81655

It's the same configuration as the Ruger 8334 (Predator version with the green stock and blued action) - they wouldn't do stainless.

The fastest way to get yours is buying them online. Please send Cody an email if you run into snags. codywhittakerguns.com

PM's won't do any good. The entire lot will be in the POS system and we can't hold any back. If for any reason you can't get Cody, feel free to email me. darrikwhittakerguns.com


I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!

You’re dead on correct! I wish they did though. I do try include lefty’s on exclusives if they offer it. Just couldn’t make it happen this time.

When you coming down again?

Until just now, they didn't make a 17M2 either...

They'll sell two of them to me as soon as they do. A LH RAR rimfire would be a great understudy rifle for my boys who use a 243 WIN LH RAR.

There are a core group of LH shooters who would buy it immediately but I doubt there are enough to justify the costs in manufacturing a LH rimfire.

Whenever you get in some stuff I need! I am in need of some rimfire scopes, but it seems like everyone is out of those.

I tried to order one, but cannot get past the registration process on line. I populate all the fields, but the "register" button never activates to allow me to complete the process.

I got mine yesterday, nice looking rifle that is just begging to be scoped, zeroed, and carried in the hardwoods for shooting fox squirrels.

Was on GB yesterday and saw Savage A17s in Mach 2 listed. More choices should be good for ammo supplies.

I am disappointed but not surprised. I went to my FFL today to pick up the gun. Upon opening the box I noticed the bolt was not in the cutout for it in the foam. It was laying on the stock. I went to insert it, and it wouldn't go in. A quick look and I see the bolt is in the fired position. I manually cocked it and inserted it. The effort required to close to bolt is considerably greater than that required to close the bolt on my American Target 22 LR and my American Predator 22 Magnum. There was no magazine in the box. It's going back.

I got my replacement gun in today. It still takes an inordinate amount of effort to close the bolt. On my American Target and Predator 22 Magnum I can easily close the bolt with my forefinger while the rest of my hand grips the wrist of the stock. I cannot close the bolt that way on this one. I have probably worked the bolt on the other two and estimated 300 times. There is no wearing of the blue where the bolt closes back down into the groove on the receiver. After working the bolt on this one about 50 times, I have worn it down to a shiny bare metal spot.

I will shoot it this weekend. I did cycle some live rounds with no issue. The bore looks smooth to the naked eye. I mounted up a spare Sightron S1 I had laying around. If it shoots and functions properly, I may treat it to better glass.

I don't care how it shoots, this is my last Ruger.
