Key Features

• Magpul MOE X-22 Stock with M-LOK: This isn’t just an aesthetic upgrade. The textured polymer stock provides a vastly improved grip and ergonomic cheek weld. The integrated M-LOK slots along the forend allow for the direct attachment of lights, lasers, or other accessories without bulky rail adapters, enabling a clean, customized setup.
• Stainless Steel Construction: As per the specifications, this model features a stainless steel barrel and receiver. This material offers superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional blued steel, making it an excellent choice for hunters and shooters in humid environments or for those who simply prefer low-maintenance durability.
• 18.5-Inch Barrel: The 18.5-inch barrel length strikes an ideal balance. It provides a longer sight radius for improved accuracy with the iron sights, contributes to consistent velocity, and maintains a handy, maneuverable profile that is not cumbersome in dense brush or on the range bench.
• Ruger 10-Round Rotary Magazine: The heart of the 10/22’s legendary reliability. This proprietary magazine feeds rounds smoothly and consistently, minimizing jams. Its flush-fit design maintains the rifle’s clean lines and handling. Multiple magazines are recommended for seamless shooting sessions.
• Gold Bead Front & Adjustable Rear Sight: The standout gold bead front sight offers a quick, highly visible acquisition point against varied backgrounds. Paired with the adjustable rear sight, it allows for precise windage and elevation corrections, making the rifle range-ready out of the box without needing an optic.
• Legendary 10/22 Action: At its core, this is the same simple, robust, and time-tested blow-back action that has made the Ruger 10/22 the best-selling .22 autoloader in history. It is known for its ease of maintenance, incredible aftermarket support, and unwavering performance with a wide range of .22 LR ammunition.

Performance & Applications

Small Game Hunting & Varmint Control: The combination of the lightweight, weather-resistant stainless steel construction and the inherently low report of the .22 LR cartridge makes this carbine a premier small game tool. The crisp iron sights and manageable 18.5-inch barrel allow for quick, ethical shots on squirrel, rabbit, or other small pests. The reliable 10-round capacity means you’re prepared for follow-up shots or encountering multiple targets.

Fundamental Marksmanship Training: For shooters of all experience levels, this rifle is a perfect training platform. The minimal recoil and affordable ammunition cost allow for high-volume practice on trigger control, breath management, and sight alignment. The skills honed here translate directly to larger centerfire rifles. Instructors favor the 10/22 for its safety, reliability, and the way it lets students focus on technique without developing a flinch.

Modular Rimfire Platform: For the tinkerer or competitor, this specific model is an outstanding starting point. The Magpul M-LOK forend opens a world of customization—attach a bipod for benchrest shooting, a compact flashlight for nocturnal pest control, or a sling mount for carrying comfort. The rock-solid 10/22 action is the most supported platform in the rimfire world, allowing you to upgrade or modify virtually every component as your needs evolve.
