Magnum Lite Research Ultra 22LR Semiauto
Magnum Research says the new MLR Ultra 22LR significantly outshot other .22 rifles with similar barrels during developmental testing.
We didn’t compare our test gun with an arsenal of similarly high-tech rifles, but we did shoot a variety of loads including CCI solid points at 1,070 feet a second, Eley Silhouex solids at 1,085 ft/s, Federal Premium Hunter Match hollow points at 1,200 ft/s, and CCI Mini-Mag hollow points at 1,260 ft/s. The semiauto action cycled all without a hitch. All held five shots at MOA with the new Federal load shooting the smallest group.
The tension-mounted steel inner barrel is housed in a black anodized aluminum outer barrel that floats in the stock. A proprietary material strategically located on the inside liner acts as a heat sink to cool the barrel and maintain accuracy during fast follow-up shooting. After checking a five-shot group, we emptied the 10-round magazine with five more faster shots, and with the exception of one high-speed Mini-Mag flyer, the 10-shot groups were still just ragged holes.
Bentz chamber optimizes semiauto accuracy. Ruger 10/22® trigger group and rotary magazine with extended release. Weaver-type scope rail is integral to the forged aluminum receiver. Lightweight polymer stock with ambidextrous thumbhole and raised comb for scope sighting. Screw off the muzzle cap and you can screw on a suppressor—no gunsmith alteration required, and a spokesman said the company is testing an internal baffle suppressor that will fit entirely inside the outer barrel. Length of pull 13-5/8 inches. Overall length 36-5/8 inches; total weight 4.5 pounds. MSRP $596. Contact: Magnum Research, Dept.
