The Ruger American Rimfire Target 8360 Bolt-Action Rifle 22 LR with Black Laminate Thumbhole Stock & 18" Threaded Bull Barrel is a premium rimfire platform designed for precision target shooters and small-game hunters, featuring a cold hammer-forged alloy steel barrel and an ergonomic hardwood laminate foundation. It delivers pinpoint accuracy and exceptional shot-to-shot consistency for competitive benchrest sessions and varmint eradication while keeping handling, optics adaptation, and manual cycling simple and reliable.
Functional Highlights
- Laminate Thumbhole Stock: The laminate thumbhole stock layout provides an ergonomic vertical grip profile alongside integrated 1/4" and 1/2" length of pull spacers for customized shooter geometry.
- Power Bedding System: An engineered Power Bedding integral bedding block system securely anchors the receiver into the wood assembly while keeping the heavy-contour target barrel completely free-floated.
- Marksman Adjustable Trigger: A crisp Ruger Marksman Adjustable trigger allows the shooter to fine-tune the user-adjustable break weight anywhere between three and five pounds to optimize pull mechanics.
- Threaded Bull Barrel: The 0.860" heavy-taper bull barrel features clean, cold hammer-forged rifling and a 1/2"-28 factory-threaded muzzle complete with a knurled protector cap.

The Pursuit Of Consistent Accuracy
Whether printing tight cloverleaf groups along the complex multi-species Canadian Shield structures of Lake of the Woods near Kenora, ON, or tracking targets on local backyard rangelands, stable shot execution requires a rigidity that conventional stocks cannot mirror. The heavy-profile cold hammer-forged steel composition minimizes barrel whip and actively dampens structural harmonic vibrations during rapid, competitive sequences. This specialized target configuration translates to unyielding structural stability across changing high-humidity or sub-zero environments encountered by sports shooters nationwide.
Equipment Selected For Practical Use
Our gun room chooses this particular bolt-action line due to its seamless mechanical crossover with time-tested rimfire designs and its robust, heavy-contour hardware. The combination of a rapid 60-degree bolt clearance angle and native compatibility with large-capacity factory rotary feeding components guarantees trouble-free operation over extended target tracks. It provides serious rimfire marksmen with a refined, customizable factory target rifle that consistently stays true to zero without requiring costly aftermarket trigger adjustments or stock bed modification.
