Magnum Research MLR22WMHGT Magnum Lite 19" 10-Round Rifle

The Magnum Research MLR22WMHGT Magnum Lite Full Size 22 WMR rimfire rifle represents a purpose-built platform for precision shooting enthusiasts and competitive marksmen seeking lightweight performance without compromise. Designed and manufactured entirely in the United States, this rifle delivers the accuracy Magnum Research has become legendary for in a platform engineered specifically around the .22 WMR cartridge. Built for hunters, target shooters, and those who demand reliability in a featherweight package, the MLR22WMHGT combines modern materials with proven mechanical design to deliver consistent, repeatable accuracy downrange.

At the core of this rifle is a one-piece forged 6061 aluminum receiver paired with a 19-inch carbon fiber barrel—a material combination that dramatically reduces overall weight while maintaining structural rigidity and heat dissipation critical for sustained accuracy. The carbon fiber barrel construction delivers superior accuracy per unit of weight compared to traditional steel, allowing for faster target acquisition and reduced shooter fatigue during extended sessions. The black aluminum receiver houses a clean, ergonomic design, while the Hogue Overmold stock provides consistent cheek weld and recoil management, ensuring predictable shot placement shot after shot. The 9+1 capacity and right-hand configuration suit both hunting and competitive applications, and the 50-inch overall length positions this rifle as a true full-size platform despite its 2.6-pound weight advantage over conventional rimfire rifles.

Owners who prioritize portability without sacrificing mechanical precision benefit most from the MLR22WMHGT's lightweight carbon fiber construction—particularly those hiking to remote ranges, competing in field matches, or hunting varmints where every ounce matters over long distances. The .22 WMR chambering delivers superior velocity and energy retention compared to standard .22 LR, making it effective for medium-range varmint control and small game hunting. Installation and operation require no special tools or modifications; the rifle arrives ready to mount optics on a standard receiver platform and is compatible with conventional .22 WMR ammunition. The right-hand configuration and full-size stock suit shooters of all statures, while the carbon fiber barrel's thermal stability ensures consistent point-of-impact even during rapid-fire sequences.
