Ruger Lever Action Rifles
Ruger Lever action rifles are considered by many to be the quintessential American hunting rifle. Operated by a flick of a lever located under the grip of the rifle, Ruger lever action rifles offer fast repeat shots without disturbing the aim. Ruger lever action rifles are generally used for hunting in close cover, and usually are short, handy rifles. Ruger offers its Model 96 lever action rifles in both .22 and .17 rimfire calibers and the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge, for either small or big game hunting. Ruger Model 96 rifles are of a unique Ruger design, featuring many new Ruger innovations while incorporating the desirable design aspects of classic Ruger lever action rifles.

Ruger 96/17 & 96/22
Chambered for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire cartridges, the Ruger Model 96/22M is well-suited for plinking and short-range small game hunting. The supplied tip-off and Weaver-style scope adapter allows shooters to mount the optics of their choice and the almost "carbine like" features contribute to quick-handling in hunting situations. Their short overall length and light weight make them easy to carry in the woods or on the prairies.
