This is the Magnum Research SwitchBolt in .22 LR with an 18-inch barrel and a 10+1 capacity thumbhole stock. It is a straight-pull bolt-action rifle built for shooters who want precision without the weight. We have been stocking this since fall 2025, and repeat customers keep coming back for it. On our scale, it weighs 6.6 oz — that is the whole gun, not just the barrel. This is a solid choice for small-game hunting, target practice, or a quiet day at the range.
Key Highlights
- Straight-pull bolt action — no need to lift the handle, just pull straight back and push forward for fast follow-up shots.
- Thumbhole stock gives you a natural, comfortable grip and better control when shooting offhand or from a rest.
- 18-inch barrel balances maneuverability with accuracy, making it easy to carry through brush or pack in a bag.
- 10+1 magazine capacity means less reloading and more time shooting.
- Chambered in .22 LR — affordable ammo, low recoil, and great for new shooters or plinking.

What Buyers Ask
Does this use standard Ruger 10/22 magazines?
No, the SwitchBolt uses its own proprietary 10-round rotary magazine. It is included with the rifle and works reliably. Extra mags are available separately.
Is the thumbhole stock ambidextrous?
The stock is shaped for right-handed shooters. Left-handed shooters will find the thumb shelf and grip less comfortable, but the action itself can be operated from either side.
What is the twist rate on the barrel?
The barrel has a 1:16 twist rate, which stabilizes standard-velocity and high-velocity .22 LR rounds well for target and small-game use.
