The models with the Alexander Henry forend helps to stabilize the rifle when shooting from sticks. Available in .22LR, .22WMR and .17HMR, they have a metal trigger guard, rubber buttpad and front and rear swivel studs.
All have a threaded (1/2x28TPI) 0.860-inch bull barrel with a factory-installed knurled thread protector as well as a 60-degree bolt for extra clearance for optics and a receiver-mounted bolt release.
The guns accept Ruger’s BX series of detachable rotary magazines with a 10-round capacity on .22LR and 9-rounds on .22WMR and .17HMR. MSRP is listed as $579 for the thumbhole stock version while those with the Alexander Henry forend run $529.
