Ruger Explorer Youth .177 Pellet Rifle

You're never too young to become a sharp shooter! The Ruger Explorer Youth pellet rifle was designed specifically for young shooters, but this entry-level gun is no toy. With a rifled steel barrel, break-barrel spring piston system, and an all-weather composite stock, the Explorer shoots straight and true with a muzzle velocity of 495 FPS. The automatic safety and anti-slam trigger system help to prevent misfires for users inexperienced handling a rifle.

Why choose this gun?

• Short, light-weight frame designed for young shooters
• Ambidextrous stock with thumbhole and vented cheek rest
• Fiber optic sights adjustable for windage and elevation
• Anti-slam trigger-barrel safety system prevents misfires
• Break-barrel spring action does not require CO2 or green gas
• 11mm dovetail optics rail allows for scope attachment

Why not?

• Youth model may be too small for adult users

Pro tip:
Dovetail is a type of optics mounting rail found primarily on pellet rifles, as well as some BB rifles. Unlike Weaver and Picatinny rails, Dovetail rails are not interchangeable with any other kind of scopes or sights. They will only accept Dovetail mounts, though you can also use a dovetail rail adapter to accommodate other mount types.
