Magnum Research Straight Bolt 22 WMR 19" 9rd Rifle

The Magnum Research Magnum Lite Straight Bolt is a straight pull bolt action rimfire rifle in 22 WMR. Instead of lifting and turning the bolt, you pull it straight back and push it home, and spring assisted closing helps it run quickly between shots. It feeds from a detachable 9 round magazine and has a 19" threaded barrel.

The aluminum receiver carries a 20 MOA Picatinny base, so a scope mounts directly and the built in cant leaves more scope adjustment for longer shots. The Hogue overmolded stock gives a soft, grippy hold in wet or cold weather, and a crossbolt safety handles the safe and fire positions. Weight is about 5.45 pounds, light enough to carry all day after squirrels, prairie dogs or coyotes. The threaded muzzle takes a rimfire suppressor or muzzle device once you match the thread pitch. One thing to know before you buy ammunition: this rifle is built to shoot 40 grain and 50 grain 22 WMR loads only, so skip the lighter and heavier specialty loads. For a quick handling magnum rimfire that cycles faster than a traditional turn bolt, the Straight Bolt is a practical small game and varmint rifle that also works well for steel target practice.
