Reintroduced 10 22

Ruger has announced enhancements to the 10/22 rifle line. First introduced in 1964, the 10/22 has become a true standard in the semi-automatic rimfire rifle market, trusted by generations for its proven action and reliable rotary magazine. With more than 10 million produced over the past 61 years, the 10/22 has inspired a loyal following.

Based on extensive consumer feedback, Ruger has upgraded the 10/22 rifle line with enhanced features previously found only in select configurations. These improvements are designed to deliver even greater performance. This first round of models features a BX-Trigger, lightweight stock, match bolt release and a receiver that incorporates a rear cleaning port.

The BX-Trigger has a light, crisp 2.5-3 pound trigger pull weight with minimal overtravel and a positive reset. The lightweight stock features M-Lok slots at the 6 o’clock position along with textured panels on the pistol grip and fore-end. Other features include a match bolt lock that allows the user to easily advance the bolt with a quick pull and release of the cocking handle, and a receiver with a rear cleaning port that provides access to the barrel from the rear of the receiver for ease of cleaning.
