With this rifle being a target rifle,how much more accurate would this be as opposed the the ruger 8348 American standard bolt or even the mini ranch ruger bronze edition? I'm trying to narrow down my choices. Thanks

Gary, with the heavy target barrel, you will have less barrel harmonics than the standard which will translate into better inherent accuracy. The shooter is a big part of the equation, as well as rifle and ammunition. Not so much if you are Bob Lee Swagger. Cheers!

you can go here and read a ton of info and other stuff about how to set up and make these guns more accurate https://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=297

not really any more accurate. it will work better from a rest as the stock and forearm are shaped better for use with sand bags many people with good scopes are getting sub 1/2 inch groups with all the ruger American rimfire rifles (with ammo the gun likes) at 50 yards

Is this a free floated barrel? What 22 with a threaded barrel has that?

yes it is free floated from Ruger "Patented Power Bedding® integral bedding block system positively locates the receiver and free-floats the barrel for outstanding accuracy." https://ruger.com/products/americanRimfireTarget/specSheets/8360.html

Gary, yes Sir this rifle has an 18" cold hammer-forged and free floated threaded barrel. I would get a box of these Match rounds to see which is most accurate then stock up : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/36452/federal+automatch+22+lr+40+grain+lead+am22+325+pack ------------ https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/36449/federal+719+22+lr++40+grain+50%2fbox+gold+medal+hv+solid ---------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/65849/federal+22+lr++gold+medal+target+40+grain+lead+subson ---------
