Tactical Solutions (TacSol) has unveiled a new integrally suppressed takedown rifle—at press time, the the only integrally suppressed manufacturer with a muzzle-end front sight. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the X-Ring Takedown TSS features a Takedown TSS barrel, a Takedown VR receiver, and TacSol's own suppressor technology. Weighing in at just 3.9 lbs., the takedown TSS is perfect for backpacking, or taking on varmints. An extended magazine release, fiber-optic sights, an ambidextrous charging handle and a Magpul X-22 Backpacker Stock also combine to make shooting the diminutive rimfire an ergonomically efficient experience. If the addition of an optic is desired a stretch of Picatinny rail rides overtop the rifle's receiver in the conventional position. For more information, please visit tacticalsol.com. MSRP: $1,465
