The Ruger 7219 77/17 .17 WSM 6+1 18.50″ Threaded Barrel, Matte Stainless Steel, Integral Scope Mounts On Solid Steel Receiver, Green Mountain Laminate Stock is a purpose-built precision rimfire rifle that bridges the gap between small-game hunting and serious long-range target work. Chambered in .17 Winchester Super Magnum, this bolt-action delivers flat trajectories and wind-bucking performance that rivals centerfire ballistics at rimfire distances.

Key Features
- Integral Scope Mounts – Machined directly into the solid-steel receiver, these eliminate the need for aftermarket bases and maintain absolute zero retention, even under heavy recoil or field abuse.
- Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel – Ruger’s hammer-forging process produces uniform rifling that delivers sub-MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, while the 18.50″ length with factory threading (5/8×24) accepts standard suppressors or muzzle brakes.
- 90-Degree Bolt Lift & Ultra-Fast Lock Time – The two-lug bolt rotates 90°, providing positive extraction and a crisp lock-up. The lock time is among the fastest in any production rimfire, reducing shooter-induced error.
- Detachable Rotary Magazine – The 6+1 capacity rotary magazine feeds .17 WSM rounds reliably from the bottom, with a low-profile design that doesn’t interfere with prone shooting or bipod use.
- Three-Position Safety – Ruger’s tang-mounted safety allows the shooter to lock the bolt, load/unload with the safety engaged, or fire. This is critical for safe hunting in variable conditions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the rimfire precision shooter who demands centerfire-like accuracy from a .17 caliber. It’s ideal for varmint hunters targeting prairie dogs and ground squirrels at extended ranges (200-300 yards), and for competitive shooters in NRL22 or PRS Rimfire who want a flat-shooting platform that can hang with $2,000+ custom builds. The 7.2 lb weight and laminate stock also suit the hunter who carries a rifle through rough terrain.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Integral scope mounts eliminate a potential failure point and keep the optic securely zeroed. Per Ruger’s engineering team, the receiver is machined from 4140 steel, ensuring the mounts are rock-solid.
- Pro: The .17 WSM cartridge delivers a 20-grain bullet at 3,000+ fps, with less than 1.5″ of drop at 200 yards when zeroed at 100 yards.
- Con: The factory trigger is a two-stage design with some creep; aftermarket options (e.g., Timney) can improve it, but that’s an added cost.
- Con: Ammunition availability for .17 WSM is more limited than .22 LR or .17 HMR, and factory loads are pricey.

FAQ
Does this rifle come with scope rings?
No, the Ruger 7219 includes integral scope mounts machined into the receiver, but you’ll need to purchase 30mm or 1-inch rings separately. The mounts accept standard Ruger rings.
What is the thread pitch on the barrel?
The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the most common suppressor and muzzle brake thread pitch for .22-caliber and larger rifles. It’s ready for direct-thread cans.
What is the twist rate?
The cold hammer-forged barrel has a 1:9 twist rate, optimized for the 20-grain and 25-grain .17 WSM bullets commonly available from Winchester and CCI.
Can I use this rifle for NRL22 competition?
Yes, with the heavy laminate stock and sub-MOA accuracy potential, this rifle is a strong contender in NRL22’s Base or Open divisions. The integral mounts keep your scope stable under repeated stage transitions.
Is the magazine compatible with other Ruger models?
No, the rotary magazine is specific to the 77/17 platform. It is not interchangeable with the 10/22 or American Rimfire magazines.
