Magnum Research Lite Mag Ssl22Ut Switchbolt 22Lr 18 Luthar Blk

The Magnum Research SwitchBolt .22 LR rifle with Luth-AR stock represents a purpose-built platform for shooters who demand speed and precision without excess weight. Built on the company's proven MLR rimfire foundation, the SwitchBolt evolved through real-world testing on the competitive speed shooting circuit—a pedigree that shows in every detail. The 18-inch barrel paired with the Luth-AR furniture gives you a compact, maneuverable package that doesn't sacrifice accuracy, making it equally at home in the field, on the range, or in tactical training.

What sets the SwitchBolt apart is its left-side bolt handle on a right-handed receiver. For right-handed shooters, this unconventional layout means you never break your trigger hand grip to charge the rifle—your supporting hand works the bolt while your firing hand stays ready. It sounds small, but in practical shooting or hunting, that efficiency compounds fast. The receiver is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion with hard anodized finish for durability without adding unnecessary weight, and it ships with an integral Picatinny rail for optics mounting.

The Luth-AR stock delivers ergonomic control and modularity in a modern chassis design. Choose this SwitchBolt if you want a purpose-built .22 LR that handles like a rifle designed for shooters who move and shoot for a living. It's lightweight, fast, and genuinely accurate—no marketing hype needed when your gun was tested by the people who shoot competitively for a living.
