The carbon-fiber composite stock and carbon-fiber wrapped barrel is not only stylish, it makes this rifle lightweight and easy to carry. <\/p>\n<p>The Ranger 22 is compatible with Ruger 10\/22 magazines and utilizes a Trigger Tech Remington 700 trigger. Further, dual ejectors and dual opposing locking lugs provide an extremely durable and reliable action. This is an excellent .22 LR rifle and if you\u2019re going to be doing some serious target shooting, this is the one for you.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Christensen Arms Ranger 22\" class=\"wp-image-70558 jetpack-lazy-image\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Christensen Arms Ranger 22\" class=\"wp-image-70558\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=564%2C564&amp;ssl=1 564w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=414%2C414&amp;ssl=1 414w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=388%2C388&amp;ssl=1 388w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-g8011200200.jpg?resize=96%2C96&amp;ssl=1 96w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>5.

Primarily, a .22 rifle is fun and inexpensive to shoot. If you love firearms, then you likely love shooting, and having a good .22 allows you to shoot more for less. <\/p>\n<p>The .22 Long Rifle is also useful for hunting small game and varmints, as well as critter and pest control around the property. A .22 LR rifle will also do for self-defense in a pinch (though it is not optimal), especially if you cannot make accurate hits with a larger caliber.<\/p>\n<p> Finally, another great reason for owning a .22 rifle is for teaching young or new shooters. The .22 LR is not too loud and has little recoil, making it a great option to train marksmanship fundamentals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Six old .22 caliber bullets on a blue bandana\" class=\"wp-image-70699 jetpack-lazy-image\" width=\"640\" height=\"324\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C518&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C152&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C389&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C778&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1037&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=1266%2C641&amp;ssl=1 1266w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=150%2C76&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325.jpeg?resize=640%2C324&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325.jpeg?resize=640%2C324&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Six old .22 caliber bullets on a blue bandana\" class=\"wp-image-70699\" width=\"640\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C518&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C152&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C389&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C778&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1037&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=1266%2C641&amp;ssl=1 1266w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?resize=150%2C76&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/AdobeStock_374773325-scaled.jpeg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Conclusion: Best .22 LR Rifles<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/22-lr\/firearms\/rifles\/?srule=relevance&amp;brand=22LR&amp;utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=best-22-lr-rifles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">.22 LR rifles<\/a> are great for target shooting, training new shooters, small-game hunting and plinking at the range.
