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.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
