Just two years ago, Ruger celebrated the 50th Anniversary of its venerable 10/22. One of the industry's most widely respected rimfire rifles, the 10/22 has earned a lasting home in the gun safe of many a hunter and shooter. Its dependability and versatility have endeared it to the American public, and there are few doubts that it'll be around for another five decades, at least.

American Rifleman TV took a closer look at the history of the 10/22 in a recent segment of "I Have This Old Gun." Get an inside look at it with the video embedded above, and be sure to check out American Rifleman TV on Outdoor Channel.
