This Ruger Air Rifle's stock is ambidextrous (for both left- and right-handers) and has a thumbhole stock and vented cheek piece for comfort and ease of use. The Explorer rifle shoots pellets out of its rifled barrel at 495 fps. Accuracy is a breeze with its fiber optic sights. The Explorer also comes with an automatic safety and rubber recoil pad. It is designed as a youth rifle with a shorter overall length (37.125"), lighter frame (4.45 lbs.), and an added anti-slam trigger-barrel safety system.

Rat Hunting
By Ryan on March 30, 2011
I used to have rats in my back yard.. not anymore. This rifle may not be the most powerful on the market but 4 out of 5 hits kill the rats instantly. Could not be happier

Ruger Explorer
By Gilbee on March 13, 2011
My sons first airgun. I could not be happier with how well it performs. My son is absolutely in love with his Ruger Explorer. If you are looking for a beginner spring-piston rifle, look no further. Rugers Explorer will make your young shooter more than happy.

Can you mount a 4x32 scope on the ruger explorer???
By James from Hartselle, AL on December 22, 2011

Answer:
If your scope has the ability to mount to a dovetail system, it should be able to handle it. The box never said it had the dovetails but it does. I just got mine and am thinking about mounting my small daisy 4x target scope on it. Hope this helps! :) It really does seem to be a solid little rifle.

Yes.

By jeff from london, ontario on April 26, 2012
is this rifle just for kids or is it good for plinking as well?
By Staff on April 27, 2012

Answer:
this rifle is mainly meant as a childrens target practice gun. It is more of a toy. It can do plinking just fine but obviously, a more powerful and accurate gun would be better.

By jean from ma on December 25, 2011
I received this rifle for exmas and there was no manual with it need to know where to load it
By Staff on January 9, 2012

Answer:
Here is the easiest way cock and load the barrel properly, sit down and place the gun across your lap, with the barrel overhanging, hit the barrel near the front sight with the palm of your hand and it should open up. Now pull the barrel all the way down until it locks and the inner barrel is exposed, now that the inner barrel is exposed you can load your pellet, return the barrel to the closed position and you are ready to fire.

Please keep in mind that some rifles have automatic safetys when cocking, also remember not to dry fire your rifle.
