\u201cRuger has built a solid reputation for excellence in rimfire pistols with the Mark III\u2122 and 22\/45\u2122 product families, and the new SR22 will contribute positively to that reputation,\u201d said Chris Killoy, Ruger Vice President of Sales and Marketing. \u201cThis pistol is feature-packed and an incredible value \u2013 consumers won\u2019t find a similar product with everything the SR22 offers at a comparable price.
