Quest For The Ultimate Rimfire. Magnum Research's "Magnum Lite" rifle is an ultra- lightweight, reliable, superbly accurate carbine chambered in the popular .22 Magnum cartridge. What makes the design so appealing is the fact that it's the only semi- automatic magnum rimfire currently available on the market, but there's way more to this little gun than just being a rapid fire repeater.

In the past, many firearm giants such as Ruger and Remington have tried to commercially produce .22 Magnum automatics and failed. Magnum Research is a Minnesota based company that has always been at the forefront of cutting edge technology and the company's successful venture into custom rimfire rifles is no exception.

At the heart of the design lies a patented gas operated blowback system. Magnum Research builds their own custom actions and the Magnum Lite subsequently features a state-of-the-art receiver CNC machined from forged 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum. The rifle is powered by a small block that bleeds off the correct amount of gas to cycle the action.

Compatible with any Weaver style scope rings, the receiver wears an integral optics base. Since the .22 Magnum cartridge is the perfect choice for short to medium range varmints or predators, the stability of the rifle's scope base easily accommodates high powered scopes. There is even a case to be made for the rifle serving double duty as an extremely low recoil, reduced liability, home defense carbine.

The bolt is manufactured and machined from heat treated 4140 steel with a tight bolt face for strength and accuracy. An oversized, tactical style bolt handle make reloads quick and easy. The 19- inch stainless steel graphite lined barrel adds stiffness and improves harmonics, while adding very little in the way of weight. For enhanced accuracy, the barrel features an 11- degree target crown.

A Hogue Overmolded stocks mounts securely when shouldered, while the pebbled surface texture improves overall weapon retention and control. To provide attachment points for a sling, the stock is equipped with standard size studs.

A reliable 9- round Ruger rotary magazine is supplied with the gun. Similarly, the rifle has been outfitted with a Ruger trigger group, which breaks crisply and cleanly at 3-3/4 pounds.

One caveat about the Magnum Research Magnum Lite is the fact that it's only rated for firing ammo loaded with 40-grain and 50-grain bullets, where 30- grain ammunition will void your warranty. This is really not a limiting factor since the majority of hunters use 40 or 50- grain ammunition anyway.

For service or repairs, the rifle is backed by the company's standard 1- year manufacturer's warranty. Overall, this rifle is a cutting edge, extremely high quality, custom built, semi- automatic .22 Magnum rimfire engineered for years of dependable service.
