The selection criteria for winning products include that the products must be “reliable in the field, meeting or exceeding the evaluator’s expectations; innovative in design and function; readily perceived as a value to the purchaser; and styled in a manner befitting the shooting and hunting industry and, perhaps more importantly, its enthusiasts.”
“We are honored by these two Golden Bullseye Awards,” said Ruger President & CEO, Chris Killoy. “The Ruger Precision Rimfire and PC Carbine were two of our most exciting new products in 2018, and we are thrilled that the NRA Publications’ staff members appreciate their innovation and quality as much as we do.”

It comes in .17 HMR and .22 WMR as well as .22 LR.
yeah, but what calibers does the precision rimfire come in?
The Ruger precision rimfire is in 22lr only. I would like to see a couple other rimfire cartridges added; .17MRF & .22MRF. Price point on the rifle is around $400.
The Precision Rimfire IS made in 22LR, 22 WMR & 17 HMR and all have the same MSRP.
