Ruger gave me a return authorization, UPS will pick it up Friday. I just read about another one, in 22 magnum, with the same problem on Rimfire Central.
I'm going to add my complaint on the rough action in the note I send with it.
What a shame.

I love the idea of that gun...Love 10/22 magazine set up. I bet some metal polish and working the action would help a ton.

She's got a small can but I still love her

Since I had gun-money burning a hole in my pocket now, and I was short a bolt action .22, I got a Ruger American Rimfire. It uses 10/22 mags, so I figured why not.

Turns out to be a mistake. Check out the scope base: (this model came with the base mounted, and has no iron sights)

note: the bipod is not crooked, and I installed it just to take the pictures.

Hopefully Ruger will make it right.

Great looking rifle. Really like the wood grain.

I'm glad to see this thread get some life back in it... Love me some rimfires!

That one looks sweet. Any details iron369?

Thank you.
Most of the internals are stock. I had the trigger pull lightened and all the guts polished.
Kidd fluted heavy threaded barrel
Extended mag release
3x9 Nikon pro staff scope
Harris bipod
Pilot II can
I can't for the life of me remember what the aftermarket stock is.

Makes me want to build a from scratch 10/22

I've been thinking the same.

Nice set-up! How do you like the Pilot II?

It's very addicting! I started with one for target shooting / trainer and boom I converted my 17MACH2 to a light weight .22.
A lot of fun and all of the parts are interchangeable.

Thank you very much. I like it a lot. It's crazy just how quiet it is with subsonic ammunition. I was worried that it wouldn't meet my expectations since it's not higher priced.

I missed a call from a rep today, and I called him back. They were not able 'duplicate' the problem I was seeing because, as he said, the tech put in a set of taps and they looked ok.
I asked him to have a scope mounted, and the crosshairs will be obviously tilted to the right. He said he would pass that on, and also would try a different scope base, as maybe that one was bad. He said the were extruded and supplied to Ruger by someone else.

About minutes later I got a phone call from a supervisor who said they were replacing the rifle. I asked if it would be the same model, since it was a dist exclusive, she said yes, 'they would make one'.

That's great!

Yep, good customer service.

Heard great stuff about Ruger, glad it worked out good.

That's fantastic. I remember when they first released the LCR, American Rifleman had a look inside Ruger. Your experience just confirms what I saw from that.

Replacement rifle received.
Interest lost in the meantime; new one is for sale!
