Magnum Research Rifle Magnum Lite 22LR Speedshot 17" Barrel Blue Laminate Finish
The accuracy of Magnum Research MLR rifles has become legendary. The MLR was designed and is entirely manufactured in the United States. It was engineered to be the manifestation of the terms lightweight and performance in a rimfire rifle. The MLR series can be had in both 22LR and 22 Mag; as well as with a variety of barrel/stock combinations to suit your budget and shooting interests.
At the heart of the MLR rifle is the one piece, forged 6061-T6 receiver. This receiver sports an integral Picatinny rail that is new for 2018. All receivers are black hard coat anodized for durability and wear. If the receiver is the MLR’s heart, its soul is the custom barrel. Shooters can select from several barrel models: patented graphite, patented Ultra tensioned, stainless steel, or patent pending integrally suppressed “TTS-22” barrels. Accompanying these options are a full selection of stocks suitable for right and left handed shooters, made from either polymer or wood. Essentially the MLR is a custom rifle at a factory price.
If you are looking for the most accurate 10 shots you can fire from a production 22LR semi-auto (9 shots from the 22 Mag), the MLR will end your search. MLR rifles from Magnum Research are not the least expensive 22 semiautomatic rimfire rifles you can buy, but they are without question the most accurate.

The 22 Long Rifle is the world's most popular cartridge, with annual production well into the billions of rounds. Developed in 1887 for blackpowder, it has been loaded with smokeless powder since the 1890s. The 22 Long Rifle is a rimfire cartridge using the .613-inch case developed for the 22 Long, but standard is a heavier 40-grain bullet at 1180 feet per second. .22 Long Rifle ammunition is widely manufactured and varies tremendously, from sub-sonic and match ammunition at lower velocities to lighter bullets at higher velocities, all the way to a 30-grain bullet at 1700 feet per second. With low report, almost no recoil, and superb accuracy the 22 Long Rifle has no equal for short-range target shooting, plinking, and training in both rifle and pistol; and with high velocity hollow-point ammunition is extremely effective for small game and pests out to perhaps 75 yards. Virtually all manufacturers offer 22 Long Rifle, with choices in both rifles and handguns in all action types. — Craig Boddington
